Dear Sen/ Rep -

I want you to make it clear that the constitutional duty of the Department of Justice is investigating crimes, not enacting political vengeance. I want you to fight the nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General using every procedural tool that exists.

Blanche's recent statements - a sitting President has the right to fire attorneys for political reasons and a sitting President should use the DOJ to investigate people with whom he disagrees politically - demonstrate that he is unfit for the office.

Jimmy Carter was investigated twice by the Department of Justice while serving as president, once over his relationship with a bank and a second time related to his brother. In both instances, Carter cooperated and was cleared.

Ronald Reagan's involvement in the Iran-Contra affair was also fully investigated. Bill Clinton was investigated by federal prosecutors for nearly the entire duration of his two-term presidency.

None of these presidents ever fired the prosecutors who conducted these investigations. No one ever suggested that it would be unethical for the prosecutors to continue working at the DOJ. And no attorney general would have had the audacity to suggest that firing them was the right step to take.

Todd Blanche, Trump's personal attorney, is unfit to be the Attorney General.
