Description

“Pencils down.” That was the directive from the office of Todd Blanche after one of Donald Trump's Senate GOP allies found that his coal companies were under criminal investigation. ProPublica ran that explosive story about the previously unknown Clean Water Act probe and its quiet demise under the headline: “Trump administration killed criminal investigation of GOP senators coal companies.”  One of its authors, Molly Redden, joins Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News to break down the reporting and how it might affect Blanche's nomination.

We no longer have a DOJ, just a group controlled by someone who hid behind the fifth 440 times.
