Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.

Blanche said it out loud today, in public, on video: "I am trump's lawyer." #usdemocracy
Todd Blanche acted as Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyer. Every senator must answer a single question with their vote: does the Justice Department serve the American people, or Donald Trump? #BlockBlanche #USDemocracy
Blanche is wrong. The Constitution DOES protect non-citizens. The 5th and the 14th offer protections to "persons" rather than citizens, thus non-citizens have basic rights like equal rights and due process. Where did this guy go to law school? And none of the DEM lawyers caught him?
Wow, Todd Blanche is just utterly obnoxious. Which is what he just called Whitehouse's question. He said noncitizens aren't protected by the Constitution. He waxed eloquent about white collar fraud when he works for the biggest fraudster of all.
