Senator Whitehouse pointing out how absolutely ludicrous it is to vote for Todd Blanche. There will never be any justice for the Epstein survivors, no justice for the families of the victims of ICE andno justice for the Capitol police that were attacked on Jan. 6. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov · yesterday

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Voting for this guy Todd Blanche today gives Republicans’ blessing to the botched Epstein Files release. Even Pam Bondi pointed at Blanche as responsible. It gives their blessing to his continuing role in the coverup.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these 2 new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse goes after Todd Blanche and the useless pieces of paper that convinced Sen. Cornyn and Sen Tillis to vote for Blanche which moved his nomination forward.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

NEW: Todd Blanche doesn't believe in the rule of law, and John Cornyn and Thom Tillis don't care. Blanche's Sunday night moves should not save his nomination. The reaction from the pair of soon-departing Republican senators is not oversight and not principled. Tonight, at Law Dork:

New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?
