Senator #DickDurbin met with #ToddBlanche for more than 30 minutes Tuesday evening & didn’t come away impressed that the nominee would serve as a check on #Trump. “I don’t know that he’s made any promise or any suggestion that he is trying to change this president’s methods or purpose,” #Durbin told reporters.

#DickDurbin opened with an impassioned rebuke of #ToddBlanche’s role in creating a $1.8 billion compensation #SlushFund for purported victims of #DOJ “weaponization” under Biden — & slammed him signing off on a deal to shield #Trump & his family from #tax investigations. “One of your first official actions as Acting Attorney General was establishing a nearly $2 billion slush fund to benefit January 6 cop-beaters while immunizing Trump from IRS liability,” he said.

#ToddBlanche’s confirmation hearing to become the 88th attorney general of the United States began with #Senate #Judiciary Committee #ChuckGrassley, #Republican of Iowa, welcoming him & giving opening remarks, followed by the tanking #Democrat on the committee, #DickDurbin of Illinois.
Durbin’s remarks were worth hearing, the rest not so much. Grassley’s were prebuttal & defensive, Blanche’s were all lies.
Sadly Durbin is retiring. He’s very good, but he is advanced in his years.

If President Trump cannot admit he lost in 2020, how can we expect him to honor the results of the upcoming midterm elections? His refusal to accept basic reality endangers our democracy. #Senator #DickDurbin #RemoveTrump #VoteBlue #NeverForgetJan6th

#DHS Secy #KristiNoem said in a letter to #Democratic Sen #DickDurbin & other senators that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program provides just that, a deferral of removal “for a period of time.” [dog killing demon]
Durbin & Sens #AlexPadilla (D-CA) & #MarkKelly (D-AZ) blasted the treatment of DACA recipients, known as #Dreamers.

#PamBondi straight up refuses to answer Sen #DickDurbin when he asked her if she discussed the Chicago raids with the White House. She then attacks him claiming #Democrats for the #shutdown.
She also totally lies about #Chicago murder rates claiming it is five times that of NY.

Sen #DickDurbin from #Illinois gave a pointed opening statement prior to #PamBondi’s hearing, calling the #DOJ under her leadership a disgrace.
Bondi just straight up lied in her opening statement saying, “we have never defied a court order.”
Outrageous.
I’m old enough to remember the whistleblower who reported #EmilBove literally telling DOJ attorneys that they would need to tell the #judiciary “fuck you”.

@froomkin.bsky.social By a strange coincidence I was in the Senate gallery on Sep 2 when Thune threatened to do this unless Dems caved. Then Schumer got up and said Dems wouldn't be changing course, in fact he gave a (unexpected by me) banger of a speech. Dick Durban made a few good points too, keeping in mind he was barely audible to people in the gallery...he's a low talker.
'Egos are often part of the territory in politics, but I have never
seen a bully in the Oval Office with such a nakedly fragile ego.
Earlier today, I got to see that ego in all its ugly glory while I was
driving to the Capitol. In driving past the Department of Labor, I got
to see [...] the massive banners that have Donald Trump's face airbrushed on them. [...] For generations, Americans have looked at these kinds of images and laughed at them [...] because they are such obvious signs of deep insecurity.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other bullies throughout
history have depended on these images because they were desperate to seem powerful and important and untouchable.' - Chuck Schumer#uspol #chuckschumer #dickdurbin #trump #johnthune #ussenate

“Bove has led the effort to weaponize the Department of Justice against the president’s enemies,”said Sen #DickDurbin, the top #Democrat on the cmte. “Having earned his stripes as a loyalist to this president, he’s been rewarded with this lifetime nomination.”
Bove’s hearing came a day after the filing of the #whistleblower complaint from a fmr #DOJ lawyer who was fired in April after conceding in court that #KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to an #ElSalvador prison -
