A legal expert delivered a stunning comment about Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department on Thursday.
In a Substack interview with President Donald Trump‘s niece Mary Trump and former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, Vance argued that the corruption of the DOJ has hit a fever pitch.
And as Blanche awaits Senate confirmation to be the United States Attorney General, it’s clear that he has sacrificed his responsibility to serve the country and instead “he’s functioning as the president’s criminal defense attorney,” Vance said.
“That is not the job of the Attorney General,” Vance explained.
“The Attorney General represents the American people, not the president,” Vance said. “Todd Blanche was once regarded very highly by many of the lawyers who worked with him in the Southern District of New York. They considered him a good lawyer and a good person. Somewhere along the way, though, he lost his way.”
There has been a difference between Blanche, who was considered a “good lawyer and good person,” and those who have stood up against Trump, Vance argued.
“We watched respected attorneys in the Southern District of New York lose their careers because they refused to compromise their professional ethics. Todd Blanche remained fully complicit throughout all of it,” Vance said.
“That’s because Todd Blanche doesn’t believe in the rule of law. He believes in the rule of Donald Trump. He believes in the unitary executive, in an all powerful presidency,” she added.
“I honestly don’t know that there are enough adjectives available to describe how dangerous this is,” Vance said. “So let me say it plainly. This is the end of the Department of Justice as we’ve known it.”
