Six senators accused Deputy Attorney General #Todd #Blanche this week of having a "glaring" conflict of interest
when he shut down investigations into crypto companies, dealers and exchanges
and eliminated an enforcement team dedicated to looking for crypto-related fraud and money-laundering schemes.

A letter written by Democratic Sens. Elizabeth #Warren, Dick #Durbin and Mazie #Hirono and signed by Sens. Sheldon #Whitehouse, Christopher #Coons and Richard #Blumenthal
cited a ProPublica investigation that revealed
👉Blanche owned at least $159,000 worth of crypto-related assets when he ordered an end to the work.

Durbin, Hirono, Whitehouse, Coons and Blumenthal serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department.

The same senators previously sent a letter to Blanche raising concerns that his actions would help Donald Trump’s financial interests in cryptocurrency.
In their letter sent on Wednesday, they said Blanche’s actions appeared to violate the federal conflict of interest law.

“Last year, we asked for the rationale behind your puzzling decision to scale back the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) cryptocurrency enforcement efforts and urged you to reconsider.
We write now in light of recent reporting that you held substantial amounts of cryptocurrency at the time you made this decision,” the senators wrote.
“At the very least, you had a glaring conflict of interest and should have recused yourself.”

Blanche, the second-highest-ranking official at the Justice Department, signed an #ethics #agreement 💥in February promising to dump his cryptocurrency within 90 days of his confirmation and not to participate in any matter that could have a “direct and predictable effect on my financial interests in the virtual currency” until his bitcoin and other crypto-related products were sold.

❌But on April 7, before he divested, he issued a memo titled
“Ending Regulation by Prosecution”
-- that halted investigations launched under President Joe Biden. In the memo, Blanche condemned the Biden Justice Department’s tough approach toward crypto as “a reckless strategy of regulation by prosecution, which was ill conceived and poorly executed.”

🆘The memo disbanded the agency’s National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, which had won several high-profile crypto-related convictions.
Blanche said the agency would instead target only the terrorists and drug traffickers who illicitly used crypto, not the platforms that hosted them.

Days later, the six senators urged Blanche to reconsider, contending that his decision would otherwise help support sanctions evasion, drug trafficking, scams and child exploitation.

🔥In their latest letter, they said their concerns had been realized.
They cited an independent report that found there was a surge in illicit cryptocurrency activities in 2025,
including crimes tied to
#money #laundering and
#human #trafficking.
They also questioned Blanche’s reasons for the policy shift.
⚠️“Certainly, President Trump’s financial interests seem to have motivated some of his pardons of criminals convicted of cryptocurrency-related crimes,” their letter stated.
⚠️“But the fact that you held substantial amounts of cryptocurrency at the time you made this decision calls into question your own motivations"

"In 4 years of asking swing and surge voters their chief beef with Dems in focus groups, #1 thing we hear is "they don't fight." When we ask them to liken Dems to an animal, top choices are slug, sloth, turtle & tortoise."

These decrepit senior citizen Democrats are still playing by a rulebook that Newt Gingrich incinerated in 1995.

Then they're baffled when they keep losing to openly corrupt idiots.

The lasting impact of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden is the establishment of a fascist dictatorship in a country which used to proudly call itself the land of the free.

They could not have fucked up worse.

We desperately need to face that reality.

The leadership of the Democratic party fucked up really bad. Their performance over the last few decades could not have been worse.

Nobody wants to hear it, but we cannot fix the problem until we admit we have a problem.

The Cons now have control of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of gov't.

They have not been this powerful for 100 years. Literally since the 1920s.

The DCCC makes no secret of the fact that their priority is to defend incumbents.

Winning a majority that could actually pass legislation is not on their minds.

Continuing the careers of elderly has-beens is all the DCCC cares about.

The result is that elected Dems are controlled by peeps who were past their prime in the 1990s.

Democratic party leadership is a forest whose lush green vibrant days are long past and now consists of a few hundred dead trees from which a few more lifeless gray branches fall each year.

“Relatedly, it is disgraceful that Justices #ClarenceThomas & #Alito brazenly refused to recuse themselves from this case. As I’ve said before, the appearance of impropriety or partiality require recusal. Until Chief Justice #JohnRoberts uses his existing authority to enact an enforceable code of conduct, I will continue to push to pass the #SupremeCourt #Ethics, #Recusal, & #Transparency Act.”

#Durbin appeared to make a nod to the bubbling concerns of his left flank Wed by attempting to expedite passage of the #SupremeCourt #Ethics, #Recusal, & #Transparency ( #SCERT) Act. The bill would require the court to adopt a binding code of ethics & establish a mechanism to investigate alleged #violations among other changes.

#SCOTUS adopted a new ethics code in Nov, but #Democrats complain it is toothless because it does not have an #enforcement mechanism. [+ justices aren’t adhering to it]
