CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams on Monday had a sharp critique for Attorney General Todd Blanche after President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney’s interview with NBC News.<\/p>\n

Blanche said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that he would not pledge the Department of Justice will always act independently \u2014 and Williams called out why that was troubling during a segment with CNN anchor Kasie Hunt.<\/p>\n

“That statement there is<\/span> exactly why the world hates<\/span> lawyers,” Williams said. “<\/span>We hate ourselves<\/span> because of things like that.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Williams offered a better, more direct question for Blanche. <\/span><\/p>\n

“W<\/span>ould you take a directive from<\/span> the president to violate<\/span> standing Justice Department<\/span> procedures or policies? Would<\/span> you follow an illegal order from<\/span> the president?” Williams suggested. “<\/span>And I don’t think<\/span> he could wiggle out of a<\/span> question like that. But he gave <\/span>a statement there that was vague<\/span> enough and open-ended enough<\/span> that a lawyer could wink and nod<\/span> and say that it was accurate.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“But come on, given the history<\/span> of everything we know about the<\/span> president, everything we know<\/span> he’s asked of his attorneys<\/span> general and, quite frankly,<\/span> everything Todd Blanche has done<\/span> in the job, much of what he’s<\/span> done in the job up to this<\/span> point, we don’t have any reason<\/span> to believe that there’s any<\/span> space between the AG and the<\/span> president.”<\/span><\/p>\n
