証拠は嘘をつかない：BlancheがTrumpの捏造をめぐり法律専門家に追い詰められる
重要ポイント
- •司法長官Todd Blancheはテレビインタビューで、Trumpが起訴対象を指示するために自分に電話をかけたことは一度もないと述べた。
- •Democracy Docketは、James Comey、Adam Schiff、Letitia Jamesらの起訴を求めるTrumpのTruth Social投稿を挙げ、Blancheの主張に反論した。
- •Trumpは投稿の中で、バージニア州の連邦検事を解任したと述べ、その検事が辞任したと報じられた説明と食い違う形で、強い案件があると主張した。
- •Blancheは、2026年中間選挙をめぐるTrumpの動きから米国の民主主義を守ると約束することを拒んだとしても批判を受けている。
- •州の有権者名簿の提出を求める政府の動きは20件超の訴訟で退けられており、Common Causeはそのうち約17件で有権者側のために介入したと述べている。
Donald Trump大統領の新しい司法長官は、自分は大統領の意向に従っているだけではないと米国民に納得させようとしたが、親民主主義団体Democracy Docketは、Trump自身の言葉がその主張を覆しているとした。
"Poor Todd, there's always a Truth and there's always the tape," とDemocracy DocketはXに投稿した。"ICYMI: Yesterday Attorney General Todd Blanche went on TV and said Trump never calls him up and tells him who to prosecute. Never has, never will. We brought the receipts again."
同団体は続いて、TrumpのTruth Socialアカウントに最近投稿された、政治的敵とみなす人物の起訴を求める投稿を指摘した。
"I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, 'same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,'" Trump wrote in the post. "Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That's why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many lawyers, and legal pundits, say so."
They added, "Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT"
Blancheはまた、2026年の中間選挙を不正操作しようとするTrumpの動きから米国の民主主義を守ると約束することを拒んだとして批判を受けている。この問題では20件を超える法廷で敗訴しているにもかかわらず、Trumpは州の有権者情報を使って自分に投票する可能性のある人々を排除しようとする取り組みを続けており、この争点が選挙戦のレトリックを超えて、有権者データと連邦権限をめぐる繰り返しの法廷闘争へと移っていることを示している。
彼は、自分や支持者が負ける選挙はすべて不正操作されていると主張してきた。
“The administration has been trying to compel states to turn their voter rolls over to the federal government and to consolidate all of that in a mega database,” Susannah Goodman, Common Cause’s policy director in the Voting and Fair Representation Program, told AlterNet in June. “A number of states have refused to turn over their unredacted voter rolls with personal identifying information — Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, et cetera. Common Cause and our partners have intervened in, I think, 17 of those cases on behalf of voters.”
She continued, “I don't believe there has been a single case... where, when the state has resisted and claimed they are not going to turn these voter rolls over, the court has dismissed the case or compelled the states to turn them over. The government has not had a compelling reason, and the states have won. So when states fight back, they win. We have been involved in that litigation. That is another huge power grab by the administration. It is also an illegal power grab, and when we have pushed back, we have won.”
