Rep. Garcia Slams Todd Blanche: It’s Ridiculous to Have the AG Saying That He‘s Going to Defend Admin Officials, His Job Is to Defend the Constitution

RUSH EXCERPT:
GARCIA: "I mean, look, I think first we should always remember that Todd Blanche was Donald Trump‘s former personal lawyer. And he continues, obviously, to play that role. I mean, it is ridiculous that we have the attorney general saying to the American public that somehow he‘s going to defend administration officials when his job is to defend the Constitution and the Department of Justice to be the people‘s lawyer. And he‘s anything but that. And quite frankly, what what Todd Blanche is doing right now is a threat. He‘s threatening our committee. He‘s trying to stop us from doing real oversight. He is the person that should be reading the Constitution, because the Constitution makes it very clear that it‘s our job in the Congress to conduct oversight of the executive and the administration, and the fact that he won‘t recognize that all he wants to do is protect Donald Trump, is protect Donald Trump‘s cabinet administration officials. That is not his job. I want to remind him. And he also needs to be reminded that oversight is going to do our job, and that is to look at corruption, to pass legislation, to stop further corruption, and to ensure that all those that are committing crimes against the American public need to be held."
