QOTD: Blanche Is Unfit To Lead Justice Department

 

From the New York City Bar Association, July 13, 2026:

We write on behalf of the New York City Bar Association (City Bar) to address the nomination of Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Blanche has taken actions that we believe make him unfit to lead an ethical and independent department of justice that is essential to our nation’s democracy. [snip]

We reach this conclusion because, as explained below, Mr. Blanche has:

I.  Abused the Department’s prosecutorial power through politically motivated prosecutions and investigations;

II.  Failed to respect the Constitutional rights of citizens and all other people present in the United States protesting widespread abuses by ICE and other customs officers;

III.  Placed loyalty to President Trump over commitment to the rule of law in the Epstein investigation and the “settlement” of Trump v. I.R.S.;

IV.  Undermined the independence and integrity of the Department of Justice by, among other things, terminating or reassigning lawyers and others who participated in January 6 investigations or otherwise acted in a manner perceived to be disloyal to Mr. Trump; and;

V.  Undermined public trust in the Department of Justice and the rule of law through conduct contrary to the Rules of Professional Conduct applicable to Mr. Blanche and the Department’s own Justice Manual...

The rest of the letter is a scathing rebuke of Blanche, who has continued to act as the Malignant Fascist's personal attorney rather than as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.  He needs to be rejected.
