As I write these words, Todd Blanche is cruising toward being confirmed as Attorney General for the United States. What looked improbable just a few days before quickly became, essentially, a done deal after Blanche did the bare minimum to assuage the concerns of lame-duck Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC).<\/p>\n

We pretend that Blanche\u2019s approval was ever really in doubt. It wasn\u2019t. Sufficient smoke and mirrors were always going to be employed to satisfy the senators. <\/p>\n

They initially said they wouldn\u2019t vote to confirm unless Donald Trump\u2019s former (current?) personal lawyer met with several Epstein survivors. So, he did. He went into a room with them, let them know he had no use for them, cared not at all about them, wouldn\u2019t so much as look at them. He told them to \u201churry up\u201d and \u201cget to the point\u201d and to take their complaints to the FBI.<\/p>\n

This is what passes for a productive meeting in the Republican Party circa 2026.<\/p>\n

That requirement apparently satisfied, the senators stipulated that, after long refusing to do so, Blanche must put in writing the fact that the nearly $1.8 billion slush fund \u2013 you know, the one designed to financially reward felons for destroying the Capitol and subverting democracy \u2013 was officially dead.<\/p>\n

Blanche did that too, though the one-page document he wrote up stipulating to drop the fund was signed only by Blanche. In other words, literally every other person in the country could potentially resurrect it in some form, in particular the man who calls himself president. It wouldn\u2019t stand up in court. It\u2019s the equivalent of swearing something with your fingers crossed behind your back.<\/p>\n

Yet that was good enough for Cornyn and Tillis, since Blanche also wrote up something about Trump\u2019s immunity from the IRS for himself and his family and all of their businesses was now merely retroactive rather than in perpetuity. So, it\u2019ll only save Trump $100 million or so for his and his family\u2019s sins of the past.<\/p>\n

And the Republican Senate was once again one big happy family. The end.<\/p>\n

Not to harsh on anyone\u2019s mellow here, but this is all just more of the same rubber-stamping of transparent corruption. Not only does it further dismiss and diminish the Epstein victims; it drives home the point that the Department of Justice is essentially Trump\u2019s personal law firm operating entirely in his interests.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll also be counting the minutes after Blanche\u2019s ultimate confirmation until his sole client is helped to successfully resurrect the slush fund. We\u2019re now down under three months until those midterms, so there isn\u2019t a moment to lose to get those payoffs out to the pardoned January 6 felons.<\/p>\n

Yes, these would be the same cop-beating, window-smashing, feces-smearing hoods who did their damnedest to overturn the 2020 election by force when the judicial system failed Trump. Blanche\u2019s job is to sufficiently assist Trump in distributing the payoffs before November and motivate the troops to do their dirty work of intimidation in tandem with ICE.<\/p>\n

The hope is, of course, that the vote will be such a blue tidal wave at least in the House, if not the Senate, that no amount of voter suppression or rigging will overturn the will of the voters. But that naturally remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Having Blanche in place as his guard dog in the AG seat is designed to be a fallback, along with the hopelessly crooked Supreme Court, in case direct violence and bullying aren\u2019t quite enough. I\u2019m convinced that the courts aren\u2019t the front-burner strategy anymore, but instead a just-in-case. That, and whatever Elon Musk might be planning to do with his satellites and potential electronic chicanery.<\/p>\n

The one strategy Trump isn\u2019t seriously considering is winning the midterms outright. He\u2019s acting less like a man who’s desperate than one who doesn\u2019t care, who thinks it\u2019s already in the bag one way or another. How else to explain the administration doing away with a Medicare prescription drug coverage subsidy program so close to the election, as they did last week.<\/p>\n

Between that and the ongoing Iran War and runaway gas and grocery prices and bringing back tariffs at full throttle, Trump seems to be doing everything in his power to assist the Democratic cause.<\/p>\n

The reality of the moment is that an entire political party is play-acting that Blanche isn\u2019t shady to his core and that this \u201cAnti-Weaponization Fund\u201d is really dead.<\/p>\n

I can just hear Blanche now at the coming hearings.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, you thought I meant it was dead<\/em><\/em> dead?\u201d he would reason with faux sincerity. \u201cNo, it was always only sorta-dead, like a patient in a coma waiting to be revived.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you mean like Mitch McConnell, Mr. Blanche?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no, never quite that <\/em><\/em>dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

To this Republican Party, the immoral ends justify the unethical means. And when it comes to Blanche, though he\u2019s skilled at flashing a hangdog poker face that makes him look innocuous, he carries not a shred of remorse in doing all of Trump\u2019s bidding. He sold his soul for a title, and I\u2019m not talking about something so lofty as AG. He peddled it for the handle of \u201cMr. Trump\u2019s Errand Boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

How else to explain his providing for the deplorable Ghislaine Maxwell a transfer to a country club lockup despite her being one of the most monstrous convicted enablers of sex trafficking in world history.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, Todd Blanche is a master of deception and manipulation without an ounce of integrity. That naturally makes him both a perfect fit for Trump and poisonous for the United States. He is, remarkably, the worst imaginable person to be put in charge as the nation\u2019s chief law enforcement officer, like assigning a fox to preside over an egg farm.<\/p>\n

The sad part is that he imagines loyalty from a man who knows none. That, sooner or later, will prove to be his punishment.<\/p>\n
