Impeach AG Blanche for Weaponizing the DOJ Against Democrats (31-120)
"I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down."
That's what Virginia state Senator L. Louise Lucas said this morning after she was indicted by Donald Trump's Justice Department on what appear to be bogus charges related to drug trafficking and money laundering.
She's far from the only prominent Democrat facing federal scrutiny. Under Attorney General Todd Blanche's leadership, federal agents searched Representative Ilhan Omar's home, prompting allegations of political retaliation and unconstitutional searches that the Justice Department disputes.
Blanche was also the Justice Department's second-highest-ranking official when federal prosecutors indicted former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James in 2025.
Congress has a Constitutional duty to ensure that Trump's DOJ isn't being used to target powerful Democrats for political purposes. As of right now, it is utterly failing to uphold that responsibility.
Tell House Speaker Mike Johnson and Congress: Return from recess immediately, investigate Todd Blanche's conduct, and launch impeachment proceedings if the evidence establishes serious abuses of power.
