John, The Republican holdouts on the Judiciary Committee are about to make Todd Blanche the next Attorney General of the United States. Their cover: two statements, one signed by Todd Blanche late Sunday night, and the other unsigned, that supposedly kill Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund and limit the IRS giveaway. I've read this supposed "deal," John, and I want you to know exactly why it fails to meet the smell test: It doesn't prevent future payouts to the violent insurrectionists Trump pardoned for attacking police officers. It doesn't prevent the administration from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week, or from using the Justice Department's Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose. And it leaves in place a tax-immunity deal that could help Trump and his family avoid paying taxes on the $2.3 billion he made last year. It also merely expresses an interpretation of who the tax deal applies to — leaving Trump to challenge that interpretation in court. Todd Blanche says he stands by his testimony from before our committee last month. He pledged — under oath — to provide Congress with assistance on a bill to make the death of Donald Trump's slush fund enforceable by law. So what assistance has he provided in the month since he made that promise? No bill. No assistance. Nothing. Nada. These Judiciary Committee Republicans should not settle for anything less than the Acting Attorney General keeping his promise, and helping us write the death of this slush fund into law. And for the rest of us, no parsing of this sham settlement should be enough to overcome Blanche’s terrible leadership of DOJ. I’ll keep fighting, but the way we kill this slush fund and IRS sham for good is to flip four seats, take back the Senate, and put people in charge who answer to you instead of Donald Trump. Will you chip in $10 or whatever you can to help Democrats flip the Senate in November? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thank you, — Adam  |
