Trump To Nominate Blanche For Attorney General

 

The corrupt and mentally ill Malignant Fascist announced yesterday that he plans to nominate his former criminal defense lawyer, the lawless Todd Blanche for Attorney General.  Blanche, now the acting AG, has pushed indictments of the MF's political opponents, devised the corrupt "slush fund" for the January 6 insurrectionists and cop assaulters, and given the MF and his crime family immunity from Federal tax fraud charges.  From the Associated Press:

"President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will nominate Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, tapping his former personal lawyer who has aggressively pursued the Republican president’s agenda while leading the Justice Department in an acting role.

Trump said at a dinner at the White House that he plans to nominate Blanche formally on Thursday, according to a video of the event posted on social media by a White House aide.

'We are going to make him permanent attorney general,' Trump said at the Rose Garden event.

Blanche sought quickly to position himself as the favorite for the permanent job after Pam Bondi’s firing in April, accelerating investigations into Trump foes and announcing a nearly $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate the president’s allies for alleged political persecution. The proposed fund created a bipartisan firestorm that forced the Justice Department to scrap the idea earlier this week in an extraordinary about-face." (our emphasis)

Blanche was on the receiving end of angry push back from the Senate Republican caucus in a closed door meeting last week on the $1.8 billion insurrectionist slush fund.  That indicator, and the fact that he's been evasive and hostile with Congress on his stonewalling of the remaining Epstein Trump files, would suggest that his nomination will be in trouble from the time it's formally presented to the Senate today.  As with the MF's noxious placement of unqualified zealot hatchet man Bill Pulte in as Director of National Intelligence, the MF is showing his contempt for the law and "Justice" Department in nominating this corrupt sycophant as Attorney General.

Blanche Raked Over Coals

From (unfortunately) the New York effing Times, describing the angry reaction of Republican Senators to the lawless Malignant Fascist's corrupt Attorney General corrupt personal lawyer Todd "My Roy Cohn" Blanche trying to sell the $1.8 billion Trump Thug Slush Fund to the Senators, some of whom are facing reelection:

"...what unfolded in an ornate room just off the Senate floor on Thursday morning was a two-hour blowup in which dozens of Republican senators vented their anger and concern about the president’s fund at Mr. Blanche.

They questioned its legal basis, whom it would pay and how the process would work. And they made it clear they wanted no part of the plan, the product of a deal struck between Mr. Trump’s lawyers and his own administration to use money that Congress does not control to pay off purported victims of government mistreatment, potentially including some of the rioters who violently assaulted their workplace during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

By the end, Republicans were so livid that party leaders scrapped planned votes on the party’s top priority — a $72 billion immigration crackdown measure it had planned to muscle through before Memorial Day — punting action for fear of having to cast votes on the fund." (our emphasis)

At least, for a few days, they delayed the odious funding for the ICE / Border Patrol goons, who are shaping up to be his multi-purpose "enforcers" for future use.  They'll return thinking that the furor over the Trump Thug Slush Fund has died down, when much to their surprise it will erupt again.

Trump Lawyer Sued For Malpractice

Not only is the Malignant Loser having difficulty finding lawyers to represent him in the classified documents criminal case, one lawyer he found is being sued for malpractice:

"Todd Blanche and his former law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, are being sued for malpractice by twin brothers Adam Kaplan and Daniel Kaplan, who allege Blanche and Cadwalader forged their signatures on a retainer agreement and 'severely' overbilled them while while they were the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe.

The Kaplan brothers also reportedly allege their former attorneys are now refusing to turn over their case file to their new lawyers."

Let's see: malpractice, overbilling, refusing to turn over files. Sounds like a match made for the Malignant Loser. Some advice for Blanche: get your fee from the Malignant Loser up front.

Only the best lawyers for the one term, twice impeached, twice indicted, and held liable for sexual assault and defamation Malignant Loser! SAD!
