Trump’s AG Pick May Not Have the Votes to Get Confirmed (w/ Andrew Weissmann) | Illegal News

Donald Trump’s attempts to manipulate the justice system through collusive settlements and the appointment of loyalists like Todd Blanche threaten the rule of law. The "slush fund" settlement, while ostensibly abandoned, reflects a broader, fraudulent effort to secure civil releases for the Trump family and associates. Todd Blanche’s upcoming confirmation hearing faces significant hurdles, as his record includes the failed, politically motivated indictment of members of Congress and a controversial, lenient deal for Ghislaine Maxwell. Furthermore, John Bolton’s expected guilty plea for mishandling classified documents underscores systemic disparities in legal accountability, where senior officials often receive lighter sentences than lower-level staff. These developments reveal a pattern of using the Department of Justice for personal retribution, raising urgent questions about institutional integrity and the future of accountability within the federal government.
