Showing Original Post only (View all)House Dem Says 'Explosive' NY Times Report Shows Todd Blanche 'At the Heart' of Epstein-Trump Cover-Up [View all]
I read the NYT article and to it is clear that Blanche was "at the heart" of the Epstein coverup. I think that Blanche will have trouble being confirmed by the Senate. I personally believe that Blanche should be disbarred.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) spoke to Capitol Hill reporters on Wednesday following sitting in on a closed-door Oversight Committee deposition of Bill Gates. Gates was called before Congress to testify about his ties to sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein in the ongoing House investigation into Epsteins illicit activities, which Stansbury said will next look at Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
We are all glad to hear that Mr. Comer has had a change of heart in making sure that Todd Blanche is brought before this committee, Stansbury began, referring to Oversight Chair James Comers (R-KY) statement hours earlier that he would like to see Blanche testify before the committee in July.
We want to make clear that he must be brought before the committee under oath in a deposition that is recorded for the American people to see, and this is separate from his confirmation process. Todd Blanche is at the heart of the cover-up of this case, as was revealed especially in the New York Times explosive reporting today about situation room meetings that were held in which Todd Blanche, as the presidents personal attorney and deputy AG, was working with others, including the vice president, to help try to cover up this case, she continued, referring to Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swans deep dive article from earlier in the day.

OP
Trump cant allow anyone in the Epstein files to be charged because his name would come up in their trial.

Makes one wonder how far back this coverup goes. Recall the first impeachment

Of Course Blanche is at the center of the cover-up. He's Trump's personal attorney. Bondi was set up to fail

Thank you. If Republicans actually read this article before the confirmation hearings, they still might
