Blanche just said what?

Blanche won’t be your Attorney General – he’ll keep operating as Trump’s personal lawyer.

SIGN NOW: Tell the Senate to reject Trump’s cover-up king Todd Blanche for Attorney General >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, Todd Blanche just said the quiet part out loud about his relationship with Donald Trump: “I'm his lawyer – was his lawyer.” [1] That tells you exactly how he views the job. Blanche won’t be your Attorney General – he’ll just keep operating as Trump’s personal lawyer. Our Common Cause team was there on the ground at Blanche’s Senate hearing, holding his feet to the fire. What we just witnessed shows his contempt for independence and the rule of law has reached a terrifying new level. This is the man Trump wants to hand the most powerful law enforcement job in America. It’s a slap in the face to any American who plays by the rules and expects those in power to do the same. We cannot let the Senate rubber-stamp this nomination. Sign the petition now and demand every senator vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General >> SIGN THE PETITION With your help, Common Cause is leading the charge on Capitol Hill to block Blanche. Together with our partners, we provided key senators with tough questions to expose his record of rubber-stamping corruption – and if you tuned in today, you heard lawmakers use our questions to grill Blanche on federally involved shootings and ICE accountability. We took early action because the Attorney General position is one of the most important roles in our government – tasked with protecting the rule of law, defending your civil rights, and holding the powerful accountable. Todd Blanche has done the exact opposite. Just this Monday, he was referred for a potential disciplinary investigation over his and Trump’s crooked slush fund scheme – and now, 48 hours later, he’s auditioning to run the Department of Justice. [2] And he’s spent months telegraphing his plans to turn the Department of Justice into Trump’s personal law firm. Just look at what Blanche has proudly admitted on the public record: [3] Slamming the door on the Epstein Files: When asked about his botched, heavily redacted release of Jeffrey Epstein's records, Blanche dismissed public outrage by saying: "The American people need to understand that it isn’t a crime to party with Mr. Epstein. It isn’t a crime to have lunch on his island." Declaring loyalty to Trump over the Constitution: He openly endorses the view that the DOJ works for the President personally, saying: “President Trump, for the first time in modern history, has said ‘I am the President and if you work in the executive branch you work for me.’ ... He's right.” Funding Insurrectionists with Taxpayer Money: He’s the face of Trump’s sham IRS lawsuit that was designed to hand $1.8 billion to pay Trump allies and January 6 defendants and grant broad immunity to Trump and his family, notoriously stating: "People that hurt police get money all the time." Blanche’s record is disqualifying. Any senator who votes to confirm him is co-signing his and Trump’s war on your rights and the rule of law. Our team on the Hill says we have a real opportunity to stop this, but only if we generate an overwhelming wave of public outcry. Add your name right now: Tell the Senate to REJECT Todd Blanche for Attorney General. We need a defender of the Constitution, not a personal cover-up attorney.
