Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

"I have no problem arresting the Democratic candidate for President on November 5, 2028, knowing that it will likely influence the Election two days later, if Donald Trump told me to." ~Todd Blanche, soon

How about a presidential arrest for crimes he committed that are not part of his official duties as our Constitution does not state presidential immunity.

They don't care about what's fair, legal, or traditional. They do what the fuck they want, when the fuck they want. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Just ask Merrick Garland.

They've conditioned the minds of 40% or so of Americans by accusing others of what they plan to do, thereby psychologically normalizing it to those Americans. "They did it to us, its only fair that we do it to them."

#DisbarBlanche must trend If not the lawyers are killing our Democracy! We have no rule of law! Rule of Trump!

Mitch: “We’re not going to allow a hearing on a Supreme Court nomination during an election year.” (1 years later) “Even though the election is in one month, we’re going to hurry through this Supreme Court nominee.”

His ass was ordered by a federal judge to turn over ALL of the Epstein files in the case filed by Katie Phang. Todd Blanche is openly defying the judges orders. The Epstein Transparency Act demands that Blanche turn over ALL Epstein files to Congress. Todd Blanche is openly defying federal law.

I swear there must be some sort of competition among Trump officials to see who can be the biggest asshole. Constantly trying to outdo one another. I mean, so many contestants. A never ending assault on decency.

There is no such thing as precedent now. If it’s not an actual law then 🟠 can do anything. Also if it is an actual law😡

Man, you're just another person who knows nothing about how our elections actually work. Why dont ya get a fucking education before you start talking shit on American politics. You're just complainer that ain't gonna do shit but blame others for the problems in the world.

26 years ago republicans stole the election with the help of the Supreme Court. They stopped the votes from being counted and declared the Republican the winner.

Agreed, but if Dems win the house and hopefully the Senate, we are going to have a lame duck president, and I expect a lot of things to change; if nothing else, I expect the toilet to get clogged beyond repair.

This guy LITERALLY argued IN COURT that charges like this, close to an election, are improper. Let’s stop continuing to pretend a “justice” department led by this goon is anything but unfair and partial.

The "60-day rule" is the legal equivalent of a "do not disturb" sign on a hotel door—everyone agrees it's there, but the people with the master keys always decide when they're tired of waiting.

That's not the case here, as it happens. She is a Virginia State Senator and the Virginia State Senate is not on the ballot until 2027. It does seem as though DOJ is eager to press cases against Democrats very close to Election Day, so there is no way to know the truth (either way) before then.

Remember when that turnip McConnell said you can't appoint a Supreme Court justice in the year before an election and bingo-in goes Comey- Barrett first chance he got. Never trust a Repuglican. Ask Zelenskyy, ask Canada. Trust in the U.S. gone for a generation at least. Magas are pedo enablers.

Blanche is now the arbiter of the 60 day rule. It’s whatever his master tells him to do after all he answers to Trump not the American people! What a crock!

Tick tock Todd. 12 days until your whole fucked up world unravels. When it is all said and done you will be trading cigarettes for pudding in a uncomfortable polyester blend orange jumpsuit.

Blanche: we’ve removed all the guardrails that existed, and will ignore any that we deem merely suggestions. No one will hold us accountable, so all bets are off. We’re acting with impunity, not outside the law, because the law is what we say it is. Move along. Nothing to see here. 🙃😵‍💫🫠🖕🤡

This is your DOJ America. We still don’t know who raped all those young teenage girls, but they got time to do this. You voted for this America, suck on it. Blanche is in on it. He’s covering it up. 

Every day they make it easier to get average people to support absolutely horrific retributions to be visited on Trump and his cronies when they lose power (one way or another).

Like Donald Trump, Todd Blanche is a low life criminal of the very worst kind who thinks himself to be above the law. You certainly can't expect him to follow any ethics norms, no matter how well-established.

On the bright side though... since POTUS and Republicans don't have to obey the Constitution or Judicial Orders, non of us are obliged to obey the fucking SCOTUS and now we can arrest and imprison Trump and his Fascist Klan. Wide open for Nuremberg scale public trials think Rosenbergs

Once again defining the difference between bloodthirsty cutthroat MAGAts and the genteel milquetoast party! It's good to see some brave democrats finally stepping up, but we need more! Let's do this!

Do I believe Ms. Lucas did anything illegal? I do not. Gee, could it be another instance of revenge by #TraitorTrump aka #OedoPrez because Ns. Lucas led Virginias redistricting initiative?

A traditional practice not required in writing is called a "custom." Republicans care about customs like saying "Merry Christmas" and when they're a synonym of "tariffs," but not when they involve voting in an election.

This administration always throws out precedent. They don’t need to defend their actions against being politically motivated. With Trump everything is politically motivated “the DOJ 60day rule, an unwritten, informal norm designed to protect fed law enforcement from appearing politically motivated”

Not typical to have the personal lawyer of the President in charge of the DOJ. If the media refuses to provide the relevant context everytime they address an obvious criminal, they essentially become enablers of said criminal, giving him a platform to lie unchecked to millions.

'typical practice' This government is not only breaking laws, they are ignoring norms. 'Typical practice' no longer exists. Sadly the Dems will have to start ignoring norms too, to keep the fight on even ground.

This is what they republicans have left. I do not believe any charges are valid. Republicans lie and abuse government mechanisms for power. The next couple weeks we will get an even bigger barrage of bullshit.

Here we are again. Bidens AG slow walked the Trump indictments to not seem partisan. Did it matter no. The GOP only cares about partisanship when it isn’t them doing it. Time to wake up Dems. They don’t play by the rules. Time to throw out the rules.

Blanche is correct: there's no written 60-day blackout rule. But DOJ's Justice Manual explicitly prohibits timing charges to influence elections and requires consultation when concerns arise. Was the Public Integrity Section consulted before this indictment?

Blanche doesn’t give a rat’s ass if something is “in writing” or in the “justice manual” or in the US Constitution or any current law/act of Congress. His only concern to to follow the Bloated CheesyPuff’s whims/orders because that FatTurd has something on him. As my grandmother would say “FUCK OFF”

Yeah, nothing improper about using the DOJ as a weapon against political opponents. Next time your party whines about weaponizing the DOJ, well, here is another prime example. Every accusation is a confession.
