Schiff: "This is someone who has violated his code of ethics blatantly, misled this committee, supported establishment of a fund for cop beaters, covered up docs implicating president in the Epstein files, use DOJ to enrich the president. Is this who we're prepared to confirm as AG? It appears so."

As a Californian who voted for Schiff, it would be nice if he would do something other than sponsor bills that will never get to the Senate floor and count his AIPAC money. The only time he stands up for anything is when he’s in a hearing and the cameras are on him

After much ado about nothing cuz this is all performative and everybody knows how they're going to vote, let's focus on the change that's happening in our homes and on our streets and in our hearts bsky.app/profile/lach...

Today is the day we find out if Americans want to carry on with "business as usual" proceeding forward or want more. I think I know how it will go, but nothing is certain youtu.be/z546DrxjlZU?...

If those allegations are accurate, they demand rigorous scrutiny not partisan reflexes. The Attorney General's duty is to uphold the law impartially. Public trust depends on transparency, accountability, and a confirmation process that fully examines the facts before any vote.

Every single nomination is worse than the previous one. And the standard was subterranean to begin with. And they keep confirming them. And the reputation of America goes further into the shitter. And the American people SUFFER. I’m sure this is a FANTASTIC midterm strategy.

Schiff said "we're going to confirm". As long as Democrats include themselves in this corruption, Republicans need no strategy or defense. It's "republicans" Schiff, not "we're".

He means "this committee" when he says we. It's almost certainly going to be a party-line vote, with all Democrats on the committee voting No. But the committee has more Republicans that Democrats. He says "we" because he accepts accountability the failures of the committee as a whole, I believe.

It is totally ridiculous to confirm this man to be AG. It is a vile, cowardly thing to do. Apparently Cornyn said they did what they could-total bullshit. They caved. They went party over country as usual . They want to be remembered fondly by their good old boys buddy network. Cowards.

A lesson for next time, if there ever is one, when the institutions become stacked with one party followers that's the time to panic, not years later when there is no rule of law.

His own Bar Association that he’s licensed under told those morons not to confirm him weeks ago: bsky.app/profile/dart...

Dear US Congress currently questioning Todd Blanche to be confirmed as Attorney General. His OWN bar association is saying to not confirm him & their letter IS ON THE TOP PAGE: Geezus, get your heads out of your asses. www.nycbar.org

What a joke. The DOJ is now owned & operated by a fascist tyrant who put his yes men in charge and fired everyone who is trying to protect the American people. Trump has instead placed his personal protectors in key positions; he knows he’s a convicted criminal and should be rotting in a prison.

Watching these hearings show how deeply divided Washington is over trust accountability and the justice system. It's a sad day in America when integrity and character no longer matter for your elected leaders.
