Advice for Sens. Cassidy and Kennedy of Louisiana

Show Caption Hide Caption FBI still investigating link between Trump server and Russian bank The FBI is reportedly still investigating a link between a computer server used by the Trump Organization and the Russian institution Alfa Bank. Matt Hoffman has the story.

To Sen. John Kennedy and Sen. Bill Cassidy: I sincerely hope you will not vote to confirm Brian Benczkowski as Head the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division.

This a critically important job. This person will supervise over 600 federal prosecutors handling thousands of cases and investigations, and will oversee sensitive matters such as the criminal investigation of Michael Cohen. Benczkowski has no prosecutorial experience.

He showed poor judgment by choosing to represent Alfa Bank while he was seeking a DOJ job despite reports that Alfa was under criminal investigation. And he won’t commit to recuse himself from Russia-related matters if confirmed.

Your constituents in Louisiana are paying attention to your ever-warming relations to Russia.
