Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Actually think Dems should NOT block Rosenstein: more important to have someone sane running DOJ day-to-day. #ConfessYourUnpopularOpinionhttps://twitter.com/SenBlumenthal/status/838524104693145601 …

    I'll use every possible tool to block DOJ Deputy AG nominee unless he commits to appoint independent special prosecutor

        and undoubtedly better than other choices Trump could come up with. But worth trying to extract promises.

        I just think at some point the urgency to counter Bannon's deconstruction is too great.

        Yup. When Trump accidentally nominates people solidly in mainstream we should confirm post-haste.

        A Special Prosecutor is not only eminently reasonable, it's an absolute 🇺🇸 necessity, which means that must be communicated.

        Replying to @pcdillard

        Sure. But also eminently reasonable is the hope that someone competent and sane is running DOJ.

        yes, maybe they should get an educator who can teach them all some civility! They need it.

        Blum is so proud to b an ex prosecutor who used office to succeed in politics, but keeps reminding us of his prosecutorial skill

        My reaction was, well, if you want to block somebody, use the USSC pick too. No special prosecutor, no USSC nominee.
