Todd "Blanche targeted Mr. Trump’s political adversaries with bogus criminal cases and overseen an exodus of some of the Justice Department’s most experienced lawyers. Less noted but as important: He is also embarrassingly bad at lawyering. The quality of the department’s work has sharply deteriorated under his leadership":

Senate committee postpones vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general amid pushback from 2 GOP holdouts. The two Republican senators threatened to withhold their support for the nomination. The postponement was a high-profile setback for the president, and a further indication that congressional Republicans are becoming more willing to stand up to him on key matters. BUT he can remain Acting #attorneygeneral #AG indefinitely - not withstanding an #election #politics #maga #government

Seeing as Todd Blanche (R - Mar-a-lago) is still attempting to nurse his nomination to Servitor General through the US Senate, I would like to inform him that the "presumption of regularity" is not, in fact, an old marketing slogan of the Ex-Lax Corporation.
Though given the reams of coverage in the legal press the term has attracted in the last 18 months, the company might consider using it as such.

#KenPaxton Touts His Efforts to Fight #VoterFraud. His #Senate Opponent Is Now Accusing Him of Committing It.
The Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in #Texas is trying to turn a key talking point of his #Republican opponent against him — alleging #AttorneyGeneral Ken Paxton is guilty of the same type of #voter fraud he has spent years trying to eliminate.
“As our state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton has gone on a voter fraud witch hunt,” state Rep. #JamesTalarico, who is challenging #Paxton in the race to replace U.S. Sen. #JohnCornyn, said during a campaign event in #Houston. “Turns out, he was committing voter fraud the whole time, voting illegally in six #elections in a row from the wrong address.”

So these guys are able to be held accountable for their crimes.
Hey, here’s an idea. How about going through the Epstein files and finding out the names of all the men who raped and sex trafficked young girls. They even have videos of it. The DOJ knows who these people are. Yet no one is paying the price for their crimes and their perversions. #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #Criminal #President #Trump #DOJ #attorneygeneral #SexCrimes #America #USA #Cover-up -
