“My God, do you not find there’s any #ConflictOfInterest in what you are doing here as the acting attorney general of the United States?” she asked. Blanche said there was none.🤯
“Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, told lawmakers on Tuesday that the Justice Department was withdrawing a proposal to create a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people claiming to be victims of unfair prosecution. The announcement follows a revolt from Republicans who saw it as an ethical and political abomination.”

Trump CAN be beaten.
@tafnn I just want them to stop changing. Ideally, they could split the difference.
