In negotiations with Republican senators whose support he needs to be confirmed as attorney general, Todd Blanche formally rescinded a $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate President Donald Trump’s political allies.
But a sweeping audit immunity plan conferred on the president, his sons and the Trump Organization remains in place — given new parameters to appease the senators but still with the potential to wipe away millions of dollars of Trump’s back taxes. (apnews.com)
For a while, a brief and almost astounding moment, it seemed that two Republican Senators reattached their backbones and apparently went to a surgeon to help replace their balls. Two men, of course, scorned and berated by the Mob Boss Trump, pretended to stand on some kind of moral ground and playact at having courage.
But of course we are talking about Republicans, and when it comes to Republicans, pontificating about taking a “high road” is one more preferred con, trying to play “look over there,” while in reality they are nothing but one more example of shame and sham.
And now Todd Blanche, who provided maybe half an hour with the Epstein victims and survivors, the guy who met with Ghislaine Maxwell moving her to a cushy jail suite, the guy who still won’t admit that Trump lost the 2020 election, the man who has told Judge Jeanne Pirro to lie, is one very important step closer to becoming the Attorney General.
Senator Coryn and Tillis, with all their Susan Collins-like pretend “CONCERN,” caved in and once again toed the Party Line regarding Blanche. But in their 15 minutes of fake show and tell, these two Senators, like the entirety of the other Republican Senators, have said NOTHING at all about taxes and Trump, corruption and the Trump Family, and total disregard by anyone or anything Trump towards the rest of us who pay our fair share of taxes.
Yep, hiring Todd Blanche makes Pam Bondi seem like Mother Teresa!
