I wanted to thank Sen. Bill Cassidy for throwing away any shred of dignity he had left after approving RFK Jr as HHS Secretary by voting to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General.
His performance on Meet the Press was a train wreck.
Kristen Welker is asking questions that Blanche should answer quickly. Nothing complicated like discussing the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, he plays ring-around-the-rosy on basic issues of separation of powers to approve of Trump's more-or-less running the DOJ.
Welker asked about the ridiculous Reflecting Pool saga, and what ensued was chaos.
"The DOJ dropped charges against the Olympic canoeist that it accused of vandalizing the reflecting pool on the National Mall, saying the damage was caused by quote botched installation and not vandalism," Welker said. "President Trump, though, said U.S. Attorney Janine Pirro was wrong and that she should revisit the case."
"Do you support Janine Pirro dropping the case or do you support President Trump's calls to revive the case?" she asked.
Blanche can never undermine Trump, his one and only client, and said, "So we, yes, I absolutely support U.S. Attorney Pirro, as does President Trump.'
That's a lie. Trump was furious and attacked Pirro for caving, and rumors were flying that he was going to fire her.
Blanche then tried to claim there was actual vandalism at the pool to defend Trump's malignant assertions.
"And by the way, the filings didn't say that all of the damage was done by faulty construction," he said. The host corrected him on that nonsense, saying there was "potential damage" to the pool because of a witness.
"What do you mean by potential vandalism?" Welker asked. Just like there were witnesses that said the 2020 election was stolen over voter fraud.
Welker then asked a question that hit at the heart of Blanche's sycophancy.
WELKER: Should the President have a voice in individual prosecution decisions at all?
BLANCHE: Every American has a voice in prosecutions. I mean, we hear from, from Americans all the time.
WTF? DOJ prosecutions are not made because people are complaining. A situation is thoroughly investigated without using Truth Social as a tip line, and then a decision is made.
BLANCHE: As a matter of fact, many of our investigations start with, with an American citizen coming forward and saying they saw something. And so whether President Trump should have a quote voice, it depends.
WELKER: Would you take his opinions into consideration when he says, I think this case should be revived?
Will you take that into consideration?
BLANCHE: So hold on. Will I take the President of the United States' view on something into consideration? Yes, of course.
And I hope every attorney general in history would not answer that question differently.
That's a zombie reply to aid Trump. Blanche can't have Trump demand the DOJ investigate Jack Smith, barbecue that he was gathering a strong case against him, and claim that's a tip.
Blanche immediately launches into 2026 election mode by glorifying Demented Donald; that is so appalling.
BLANCHE: The President of the United States, the elected President of the United States says something to me, and I'm supposed to say to you, I would say, nope.
I mean, that's not the way it works.
Now the President is, is, um, is, is extraordinarily, um, every day he wakes up with one mission, which is making this country better.
This is further proof he should never have been confirmed as AG.
