This Impeachment Should Be A No-Brainer

 

The current talk about impeaching the strutting, incompetent Defense Secretary and former Fox weekend couch potato Whiskey Pete Hegseth is starting to gain momentum with current Dem leader Hakeem Jeffries saying he's a "hard yes." However, there's another cabinet official who has also done terrible damage to the rule of law and national security and that's the execrable hack, Attorney General Todd Blanche. As former DOJ official Harry Litman notes, the Malignant Fascist's former criminal defense attorney is still acting in that capacity. From Litman's article in The New Republic:

"On Saturday, Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate members of Congress for the offense of proposing to impeach his attorney general. He branded the talk “extortion at the highest level” and announced, 'I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!'

We can expect the department to fall into line dutifully, because Attorney General Todd Blanche has already demonstrated his eagerness to convert federal prosecution into a weapon against the president’s enemies, wielded without regard to the facts, the law, or the commission of any crime. He said as much yet again Sunday in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash that should be played back to him at an impeachment proceeding.

That practice stands atop the list of Trump 2.0’s manifold abuses of democracy and departures from constitutionalism and the rule of law. It follows that Blanche stands atop the list of Trump officials whom the incoming Democrats must aim to remove from office.

It is high time to impeach Todd Blanche." (our emphasis)

In the CNN interview that Litman cites, Blanche also stated that, in the event of legal proceedings, he / the DOJ would act as personal lawyers to the hideous new White House Chief of Staff Stephen "Pee Wee Goebbels" Miller, a clear perversion of what the job of Attorney General involves. After Blanche's role in trying to establish a slush fund for January 6 criminals and the MF himself, disablement talk about Blanche was starting to spread. Both impeachment and disbarment would be an excellent coda to a disgraceful career.
