Dick Durbin: “Under Mr. Blanche's leadership, more than 16,000 employees…”

“The chairman talked about his law enforcement record. Let's look at it. The goal is clear. Replace these DOJ officials with unqualified MAGA loyalists who will rubber stamp President Trump's corruption. Under Mr. Blanche's leadership, more than 16,000 employees have left the Department of Justice, including more than a fourth of its attorneys. Many have been fired for declining to initiate vindictive prosecutions or refusing to follow unethical orders, like career immigration litigator Erez Zuruvanyi, who refused an order from Mr. Blanche's former law partner, Amo Bove.” (06:04–08:49)
