🚨BREAKING: A federal court dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking access to Colorado's unredacted voter registration list. The department is 0-20 in its sweeping legal hunt to acquire private voter data from states.
Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
Dr Oz: "This is corruption on the underlying system ... when everyone is doing it, that's a real pathology. Bc if you're not part of the corrupt system, you're a fool. When I'm lying to you & you know I'm lying & I know that you know that I'm lying, & on & on & on, that's how countries collapse."
UPDATE: The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general to the Senate floor. The move comes despite previous protests from Republicans who criticized the DOJ's role in the creation of a $1.8 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies. Background:
GOP senators sign off on corrupt immunity deal from IRS audits for Trump and sons
Todd Blanche appears to be on track to lead the DOJ after Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) agreed to the plan.
