Donald Blanch was Donald Trump's personal lawyer. And it is very clear already that he intends to maintain that position even if his business cards say that he's the acting Attorney General. He has already come out almost instantly and said, just like Pam Bondi, who supposedly got fired because of her handling the Epstein files, that it's done. We're done with the Epstein [00:00:18] files. We're not giving you any more files. There's no justice for victims. We're not doing that. And they came out this morning and said, ah well, you said that the Attorney General- was being subpoenaed and Pan body is not the attorney general anymore. So she [00:00:33] doesn't have to testify. They think that that's going to save her from being dragged in. That's how ridiculous and inept this is. But that's not the only way that he's defending Donald Trump. He's also defending him in other ways too, as you'll see. And when you talk about uh weaponization, and it's become a word that is supposedly that when we talk about ending [00:00:54] weaponization, as if that's a bad thing for us to do. Okay, people in this room, okay, people in this room for four years, some of you, the same people sat here with the last administration when you saw a weaponization of this department, the likes of which had [00:01:13] never been seen in history. And some of you are looking down now, and I get it, because you had a president who was indicted four times by this department. You had a president who, along with this department, had assistance. Okay, so he can do whatever he wants, and [00:01:36] he goes on and on and on. Trump can totally investigate them. It's totally cool because it was so unacceptable that he was investigated. Which again, so is it unacceptable or is it not unacceptable? I don't understand it, and I'm not getting anything out of what he's saying [00:01:51] because he is a terrible public speaker. He is arguably worse than Pam Bondi. He's not charismatic. He's not forceful. He's not good at doing the thing that like even like a Carolyn Levitt's good. Like she's kind of quick and snappy like she can come up with something like me. He doesn't even have that. And so should we be weaponizing the DOJ? The Republicans [00:02:12] sure seem to think it was actually a good idea all along. So that clip that we just played you was played by Fox News as the lead in to an appearance by John Yoo. Now if you're a youngster, You may not know, but John Yoo was basically the first ever Trump like cabinet [00:02:30] person long before Donald Trump was ever in politics. Under George W Bush, he was like totally a Trump style. The President can do literally anything he wants sort of guy. was a terrible reprehensible person. So he goes on Fox News and says, there's nothing wrong [00:02:46] with Trump doing this revenge tour. Well, but like guys, if that's the case, then why was it wrong for Biden to do it? Setting aside that Biden didn't do that, let's say that he had. I guess it's cool. I guess you guys whined for years for nothing. Again, setting aside [00:03:06] that they went so slow in investigating Donald Trump. He did a coup on TV and Mayor Garland was like for two years he's like, was that wrong? Should he not have done that? You [00:03:22] know what, I'm to take some of the crimes that Donald Trump committed and openly admits to committing and I'll hand it to Trump's favorite judge to adjudicate or whatever. That's the weaponization that Joe Biden did. But again, setting aside that he did all of those crimes, that he did sexually abuse E. Jean Carroll and he did commit fraud and he did steal the documents [00:03:41] and all that stuff. Evidently, you could have gone after him even if there wasn't any evidence because it's actually really cool. And the ridiculous thing is, They won't even admit that that is the ridiculous hypocrisy that they're demonstrating. They want to pretend that Trump can go after people based on lies on mortgage applications. And that is highly [00:04:03] principled. But Donald Trump stealing classified documents, coming out and saying I took them, they're mine, you can't have them back. There's nothing there and you shouldn't even look into it. Okay, okay, well, I'm actually excited to find out that you can go after people for literally [00:04:21] anything because I got news for you. When a Democrat gets back into power, there's a whole hell of a lot of investigations, indictments, subpoenas and all of that that need to come forward. Just be showered all over it. Todd Blanche is definitely gonna be on there. We need to find out what the hell he actually talked to Ghislaine Maxwell about. Pam Bonnie needs [00:04:38] to finally answer those questions about it was that ordered her to redact the documents to take out the mentions of Donald Trump and all that stuff. And that's just the DOJ and Pete Hicks, the spitting war crimes. They're doing insider trading. They're literally doing insider trading on the war in Iran right now. I have no doubt by the way that there were massive [00:04:54] bets made before Donald Trump posted his true social about a ceasefire right before the nuke of the nuking of Iran was supposed to happen. now that we know we can do those investigations, I look forward to them. But anyway, uh He says, by the way, Blanche goes even further, and [00:05:10] this is where I'll end on this. He says it's not just fine for Trump to weaponize the DOJ to go after his opponents. He says we have thousands of ongoing investigations and prosecutions going on this country right now. And it is true that some of them involve men, women and entities that the president in the past has had issues with and that he believes should [00:05:26] be investigated. That is his right. And indeed, it is his duty to do that. That's his job. He's supposed to be weaponized. Man, I feel like Fox News described that differently in the past. I'm not sure. But anyway, Blanche then goes on to just say, in case any of you [00:05:44] think that he's a serious adult or a serious man or a serious lawyer or whatever, nope. He said, if he chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I will say, thank you very much. I love you, sir. You were a grown ass man and he's your [00:06:01] boss. Why are you loving him? when he's passing you over for some other lackey or whatever. By the way, uh as we end, the press conference that Blanche was doing right there was to talk about how they're opening up a big fraud investigation thing in the DOJ because of all those Somalis [00:06:17] or whatever. We have to stop the fraud. We have to help the American people. I just want to remind everyone, I will never pass up an opportunity to do this. Donald Trump has pardoned dozens of fraudsters and con men. Vicious, unrepentant fraudsters. And in so doing, by the way, he [00:06:35] has wiped out nearly $2 billion in victim repayment and taxpayer recovery funds for the frauds that were perpetuated. We're never getting that money back again. And all the fraudsters are back out on the street to commit yet more fraud as they pretend to have an issue with fraud. [00:06:51] Sure.
