12h


Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche began meeting with Republican senators Monday as he launches a monthlong confirmation process. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) was Blanche’s first stop as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will eventually process his nomination.

Grassley, in a statement Monday, was positive about Blanche’s career so far. “I appreciated the opportunity to sit down again with Todd Blanche, who’s spent the last year and a half supporting President Trump’s mission of law and order as Deputy Attorney General and now Acting Attorney General,” Grassley said. “Blanche is prepared to build on that success and continue working hard to keep American families safe as the next Attorney General.”

Grassley added that he is still waiting for some “records to be produced” from oversight inquiries he has made of the Department of Justice (DOJ). He did not specify what records those are.

“I expect Blanche to respond to my outstanding requests for records, so the American people get the transparency and accountability they deserve,” Grassley said.

Every news outlet should say "Grassley, 92", like they stalked and harassed Feinstein, Leahy, and of course Biden about their ages and made sure to highlight that in their reporting.

"This is yet another example of how the Republican Party approves of the most corrupt administration in US History. They ALL need to be voted out!"

Trump’s mission of law and order? Excuse me?

The most lawless and corrupt administration in the history of the United States and Grassley thinks this is "law and order?"
