The Senate cannot confirm Todd Blanche on Wednesday, because Todd Blanche is actively covering up the Epstein files and has lied about a multitude of things all in an effort to protect one person, Donald Trump.
The full article is up here on Substack.
The questions the Senate should be asking are below:
Joseph Tirrell, the department’s senior ethics lawyer, advised you in March 2025 to recuse from Trump matters. You told this committee under oath you would follow the ethics experts. Why didn’t you? And was Mr. Tirrell removed after giving that advice?
You testified in February 2025 that you had no knowledge of the Adams dismissal decision. Ms. Sassoon’s letter says Mr. Bove may have spoken with you about it two weeks earlier. Ten senators have asked the Inspector General to investigate your testimony. Will you commit, under oath, that you had no communications about the Adams case before that hearing, and will you waive privilege over any that exist?
You signed the April 7, 2025 crypto enforcement memo while holding up to 485,000 dollars in crypto, in apparent breach of your own ethics agreement. The department says this was "cleared in advance." Who cleared it? Produce the written clearance.
Why did you personally interview Ghislaine Maxwell rather than assign line prosecutors? Was any FBI agent in the room? Did you discuss her custody placement, her habeas petition, or clemency in any form? And why was her transfer to minimum security, in tension with BOP policy, never documented to Senator Whitehouse in eleven months?
Judge Sullivan found you conceded violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. You told the public you were "not sitting on a single piece of paper." Which statement is true? And why is the National Security Division redacting a sex trafficking file?
Judge Crenshaw found you "started the investigation to implicate Abrego" to justify the deportation. Your office’s own emails are in the record. Do you dispute the emails? Will you produce Ben Schrader’s objection memo, the one that never reached Washington?
Body camera footage shows a federal agent arresting Mayor Baraka "per the deputy attorney general of the United States" while ordering cameras off. Did you order that arrest? Did you know about the camera instruction? You have had ten months to answer.
You signed a document permanently barring tax enforcement against the family whose PAC paid your firm nearly ten million dollars, without court approval and without recusal. Will you rescind it in writing? If the fund is truly dead, why did the government refuse Judge Brinkema’s request for sworn declarations, due July 17?
Your financial disclosure lists a confidential client in a pending grand jury proceeding. An Attorney General cannot supervise a grand jury matter involving his own secret client. Who is it, and from what will you recuse?
Ms. Oyer says you fired her within hours of her refusal to recommend restoring Mel Gibson’s gun rights, then sent armed marshals to her home before her testimony. What is your account, and will you produce the directive that sent them?
You testified in May that Maxwell went "from a low-security prison to a low-security prison." FPC Bryan is a minimum security camp and her placement required a waiver of BOP policy. Do you correct that testimony today?
Your February 14, 2026 letter certified to Congress that no Epstein records were withheld for reputational or political reasons. NPR then documented withheld and quietly removed FBI interviews concerning an allegation that mentioned Trump. Was your certification accurate when you signed it?
Judge Brinkema said one sworn declaration that the fund is dead would end the litigation. You testified it is dead. Why won’t you swear it? Will you sign that declaration before this Committee votes?
New Mexico is running the only active criminal investigation into the Zorro Ranch. Its attorney general says your department has withheld the unredacted records for more than 130 days while statutes of limitation erode. Will you produce them this week? If not, name the legal basis, in writing.
Senator Wyden says the DEA administrator was ready to hand Congress the unredacted 2015 OCDETF memo naming Epstein and fourteen others in a drug and prostitution financial investigation, and that you stopped him. You called that fabricated. Then release the memo. Will you commit to releasing the unredacted memo to this Committee, and to answering Senator Whitehouse’s Operation Trip Knot letter, before the vote?
You eliminated OCDETF over the objection of both parties’ appropriators, transferring 5,000 cases to an organization that did not yet exist. Under what authority did you decline to spend funds Congress appropriated, and did you seek an Impoundment Control Act opinion first?
Repost so no senator can say they didn't know.
