Oppose and Vote NO on Todd Blanche for Deputy Attorney General

Today I take pen in hand to write and urge you in the strongest possible terms to reject Todd Blanche for the post of Deputy Attorney General. It’s another step towards lawlessness on behalf of this administration. His refusal to commit to preserving evidence and supporting transparency in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation is an obvious red flag. As a former member of Trump's legal defense team, Blanche's apparent partisanship and defense of the former president's actions raise doubts about his ability to uphold the integrity and independence of the Department of Justice. Blanche's stance against releasing Volume Il of the Mar-a-Lago report undermines principles of transparency and accountability that are vital to the public's trust in the justice system. The American people deserve access to the full findings of this high-profile investigation into potential misconduct by a former president. Furthermore, Blanche's evasive responses about preserving evidence from cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith suggest a concerning disregard for due process and the rule of law. As Deputy Attorney General, he would have a duty to protect the integrity of evidence and investigations, regardless of political pressures. The Department of Justice must remain a nonpartisan institution focused on upholding the law fairly and impartially. Appointing an individual who has actively defended efforts to undermine democratic processes and evade accountability would deeply compromise public faith in the justice system. In light of these concerns, Blanche's nomination should be firmly opposed. Blanche's record demonstrates an inability to meet this essential standard. Oppose and Vote NO on Todd Blanche.
