House Dem Says 'Explosive' NY Times Report Shows Todd Blanche 'At the Heart' of Epstein-Trump Cover-Up

I read the NYT article and to it is clear that Blanche was "at the heart" of the Epstein coverup. I think that Blanche will have trouble being confirmed by the Senate. I personally believe that Blanche should be disbarred.

House Dem Says ‘Explosive’ NY Times Report Shows Todd Blanche ‘At the Heart’ of Epstein-Trump Cover-Up

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) spoke to Capitol Hill reporters on Wednesday following sitting in on a closed-door Oversight Committee deposition of Bill Gates. Gates was called before Congress to testify about his ties to sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein in the ongoing House investigation into Epstein’s illicit activities, which Stansbury said will next look at Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“We are all glad to hear that Mr. Comer has had a change of heart in making sure that Todd Blanche is brought before this committee,” Stansbury began, referring to Oversight Chair James Comer’s (R-KY) statement hours earlier that he would like to see Blanche testify before the committee in July.

“We want to make clear that he must be brought before the committee under oath in a deposition that is recorded for the American people to see, and this is separate from his confirmation process. Todd Blanche is at the heart of the cover-up of this case, as was revealed especially in the New York Times’ explosive reporting today about situation room meetings that were held in which Todd Blanche, as the president’s personal attorney and deputy AG, was working with others, including the vice president, to help try to cover up this case,” she continued, referring to Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s deep dive article from earlier in the day.

when Republican Senators ignored reporters questions, shook their heads, some palms down, and continued to walk away.

Did they know at that time? We all assumed it was about Russia, Russia, Russia, money, money, money ....

Just makes one wonder WHAT ELSE they’re covering up, and FOR WHOM?

And who else knows or has reasonable suspicions? Or knows who does?

My guess is he will nuke Iran to take Epstein out of the news cycle. He is desperate and INSANE.
