The BARE MINIMUM you do to a criminal defense lawyer who signs a non-prosecution agreement with HIS OWN CLIENT is disbar him.
But that is insufficient for Todd Blanche, who took an OFFICIAL ACTION as acting AG as part of a BRIBE to hold his job permanently.
He must be indicted.
It gets worse. This breaking news confirms Blanche knew Trump had no case against the IRS when he gave his client $1.8B in taxpayer cash and promised never to prosecute him. Blanche will now become permanent AG. This is a criminal bribe—a TEXTBOOK example. thedailybeast.com/trumps-18b-slu…
To put a finer point on this: the Attorney General of the United States is a felon. Not a minor thug, but a felon who committed one of the most serious offenses identified in the text of our Constitution...in broad daylight.
This wasn't bad judgment; it's worthy of imprisonment.
Blanche has an ongoing obligation—as Trump's defense lawyer—to take no steps that would lead Trump to investigation/prosecution. He must help Trump hide his taxes and protect him from Epstein revelations. Even Trump just made clear via speech that Blanche keeps him out of prison.
All of us watched in real time as Donald Trump publicly said he would decide whether Todd Blanche kept his job on the basis of whether Blanche acted in ways Trump approved of.
Trump's demands were public—and included a TEN-FIGURE THEFT of taxpayer funds.
This is 100x Watergate.
