Under [Blanche’s] watch, the DOJ has targeted Fani Willis, Cassidy Hutchinson, E. Jean Carroll (where Blanche did recuse himself), and reporters in leak cases.
Just wondering if Todd’s gonna indict Dear Leader when it turns out John Barron engineered this or that leak.

I am looking forward to the day where all of the sick fuck’s DOJ appointees (and a few U.S. Attorneys) end up in jail.

Better than 60/40 Dem. when you look at the full roster. NYT projects remaining ballots will trend Dem.
Looks like we’ve survived CA’s jungle primary. Might have two Dems to choose from in Nov. as Steyer’s been steadily gaining on Hilton. TSF’s last minute French kiss of Hilton may have been the kiss of death.

While official Washington rushed to treat as credible the assurances from the White House and DOJ that the slush fund is dead, President Trump said he wasn’t sure that it’s gone for good: “I love it,” he said. “I think it’s so important.”
So, all those things Dear Leader is enamored of and prioritizes highly might not be in the best interest of the country?

In normal times it should be enough for any principled Senator to reject a President’s personal lawyer for the nomination. It would be the first since Mitchell under Nixon. But yeah, let’s hope the Dems use it to cement the corruption narrative for the R’s in general, not just Trump who isn’t on the ballot in the midterms.
