AG TODD BLANCHE
"We just heard from our great Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman who's doing everything we need him to do to back the blue."
"This is a politically-motivated complaint designed to weaponize the Hatch Act against the Attorney General for his support of law enforcement." — — a Justice Department spokesperson
Sworn in August 10, on a Long Island stage for Bruce Blakeman on August 14, introduced as the sitting Attorney General. Public Citizen filed with the Office of Special Counsel on August 17: DOJ policy makes the AG a "further restricted employee," barred from active partisan campaigning. DOJ called it baseless. On September 5 the RNC confirmed he is giving a major address at its first Midterm Convention in Dallas, September 9 and 10 — 109 speakers, billed by the committee as "Trump-a-palooza." Now the part filed as a separate story: Section 2 of Trump's March election order, the provision the Supreme Court let proceed on August 24, directs the Attorney General to "prioritize the investigation and, as appropriate, the prosecution of State and local officials . . . who issue Federal ballots to individuals not eligible to vote." Election day is November 3. And the referee: Special Counsel Charles Baldis, confirmed August 7 on Trump's nomination, former Grassley and Graham Judiciary staffer, who on August 20 hauled a postal clerk and a VA employee before the MSPB because "political candidacy violations are black letter law" — while CREW counts six administration officials' complaints unresolved, five of them for ten months or more. Every piece public. Every piece reported alone.
