Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: Blanche Could ‘Put Together the $1.9 Billion Trump Justice Fund’ After Stopping Payments

RUSH EXCERPT:

WHITEHOUSE: “Well The old Saying is they’re not worth the paper that they’re printed on. And it’s a little bit discouraging that people who sit on the Judiciary Committee would accept those pieces of paper as the proper resolution of their vote on Todd Blanche, first of all, as you pointed out, this guy can go back and in a month, instead of the $1.776 billion anti weaponization fund, he can put together the $1.9 billion Trump justice fund, or they could set up the, you know, ice cream window at the Department of Justice that all of the MAGA people get to drive up to and make a friendly federal tort claims act claim and be handed a check. So the idea that they’ve stopped payments to cop beaters just doesn’t pass muster. And second, here, you’ve got this guy, you know, it’s like I’m a burglar and I’m going to give you some of the jewelry back that I stole."
