By blessing corruption, Todd Blanche has disqualified himself from the job he wants
This opinion article argues that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has disqualified himself from being confirmed as permanent Attorney General due to his role in two controversial actions: a prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey and a $1.8 billion IRS settlement with President Donald Trump. A federal judge ruled the IRS lawsuit was a pretext for a phony settlement, as both sides were controlled by Trump. Blanche approved the deal, which included an 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' that was later abandoned due to backlash. The article contends Blanche prioritized pleasing Trump over pursuing justice, and that the Senate should reject his nomination.
