Todd Blanche ready to defend Trump aides targeted by House probes
Here's a supercut of AG Todd Blanche fumbling his way through a Fox News Sunday interview so badly that he ended up answering "I'm not interested in explaining" in response to basic follow up questions
Thinking165I see a very scared person trying to appear brave and coming off as bombastic
GwenieThinks 🤔99I can't wait for him to lose his law license!
Jack Diddly Squat - Distinguished Fellow55Why is the US AG even going on network news shows every other day? This quack needs to be impeached.
Middlerage30Guess we found out 😆 bsky.app/profile/midd...
Jay Lionel26Trump’s former personal lawyer IS STILL Trump’s personal lawyer. And will not stop breaking the law and humiliating himself. And he is now SO DEEP he can’t leave because he will absolutely need a pardon.
westvillagecrank.bsky.social16It's the joyous expression on his face that demonstrates that he'a s happy warrior.
altNOAA 🇺🇸38"If there's corruption, this office will investigate and prosecute it." ~ Todd Blanche, AG. Question: Where do I report a $400 million 747 gifted by the Muslim Brotherhood's largest financial backers to an in-office politician? Is there a web form on Todd's website or something?
Chris is on team human20Republican party is all just this angry incoherent man unable to answer questions, who are also incapable of and unqualified for simple aspects of jobs they're in, and the reason they're so angry over DEI is the only way they have any career is marginalized candidates who are qualified were shut out
Corey Rayburn Yung14Gonna try this in response to student questions. I'm sure it will go well.
Holly Brewer6It’s clear from Blanche’s words that college students are afraid to go to work for the Trump administration because they know they will be asked to do illegal things— And will then be investigated by Congress.
Ken Fang -- Very Asian5When Fox News is too tough for you, it's time to for you to go.
Conifers & Citrus (Jeff Bull Maroon Jackson 5)4SAME fucking energy every damn time, i.e., Blanche sounds like he’s trying to hold in a shit as he traipses through the talking points.
Cathy4“Trump welcomes criticism and he always has.” Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Rob Saltman3The way oligarchy works is, They find the people who will do and say anything and make them promises of taking care of them and their family. In the end, they will throw them under the bus as well if it’s beneficial to them
Victoria aka Blaze3You weren’t interested in Ghislaine Maxwell explaining either, Todd
🙂Cathy❤️Love🇺🇸Hope🗳Vote⚖️Justice2Okay. But let me make a prediction... You'll be explaining EVERY LITTLE THING very, very soon. 🤨 #JustSaying
President Donald Trump responded to Democratic promises of accountability Saturday, calling it “extortion at the highest level,” and ordering Attorney General Todd Blanche to “look into this criminal act, immediately! www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Robin OG ANTIFASCIST!61Gee, why would an innocent person have a problem with investigating crimes?
Dawn Humphrey45I think we know who the extortionists are: "Find me 11,780 votes" Pressuring Zelenskyy during a phone call to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, while conditioning $391 million in military aid and a White House visit on the announcement of those probes
JelaniJones.bsky.social26Blah, blah, blah more useless and meaningless verbal diarrhea from trump.
J. Cobb22To a corrupt conman, accountability may seem like extortion.
🌊 BostonPops 🌊12From the "Lock her up!" crowd.
Romanyel9If his admin is smart they'll keep little Shitler in line but with Millher on his shoulder that's unlikely. Prepare to remind them.
SavRTruthTiger 💙🌊🌊🌊💙7Mob boss whines “Unfair! They’re copying what I do.”
✨🌟 ⭐️ LoveKat ⭐️🌟✨🟦♿️🧬🏳️🌈🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🌎☮️🕊️🟪6Every projection is an admission. He is an extortionist.
aleesha 🦊🎂🎉5he's taking his ass beating well i see
🇺🇸 Pithy Packy 🇳🇱5Leave it to a pathological narcissist to explain away accountability for himself and his complicit appointees to the rule of law as being “extortion at the highest level“.
JackHokie4Only a hard core criminal looks at accountability as extortion!
Patricia Campbell4"Extortion"🤣🤣 Apparently Blanche has his work cut out for him😵💫
Carlye Hooten4We've been at the mercy of THEIR extortion for more than a decade, since BEFORE THAT SCHMUCK got into office. Republikkkans have worked tirelessly to break our democracy for many decades. They nearly succeeded. Hopefully this experience will have opened ppl's eyes to Republikkkan ROT.
Jane Feldman2The Trump administration is the most corrupt in American history. Its members, and the Trump family should be investigated and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
Now that Trump just ordered Todd Blanche to investigate Dems in Congress and Blanche has signaled assent, it's even more important that Jamie Raskin, incoming Judiciary Committee chairs, told me Dems will look at defunding corrupt investigations/prosecutions:
Lisa109Except the problem is Russell Vought, who has managed to re-route appropriated funds to his P2025 edicts and the president's vainglory projects and whims. The one who needs to be impeached in tandem with Hegseth is Vought. He is and has been excruciatingly dangerous.
Michael43Why are we pretending there can only be one impeachment at a time? Drop about six of them at once and let the rats race to selling each other out to save themselves.
paulaptb21Boy am I glad Raskin is there. Wrap that mani in bubble wrap. Constitutional law professors don’t grow on trees.
EASTMAN11Trump is desperate to hold on to power, so he wants Todd Blanche to go after Democrats for performing their legal responsibilities. It is Trump’s pathetic reaction to his humiliating defeat on Nov. 3rd. Donald is a criminal, and his entire regime is a crime family that deserves to go to prison.
House+Senate 202-224-31219Expect lots more "novel and aggressive" approaches from Rep. Jamie Raskin. Even cancer couldn't stop him. Raskin (D-8th) testifies during the first hearing of the Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee on Capitol Hill on Feb. 9, 2023. tinyurl.com/ksbnt5zr
Polly Dogood9Article I: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." A prosecutor sent after Congress must still ask Congress to pay him. The Framers were not careless men.
Brian Young1070There's a decent chance that the next few years are going to catalyze some fundamental shifts of power (back) to the legislative branch
Randi Mayem Singer271Atten: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Accountability is not "revenge." Accountability is insurance for the future of democracy.
Molten Irony (Wade)170Yes- Trump committed another impeachable offense.
Maya Wiley169That any AG would signal any agreement to investigate anyone, let alone a political opponent. Without evidence of a violation of law is grounds for removal. But this is also why voters voted for change.
Arkan Wolfshade152The constitutional crisis will get worse before it gets better
Shameful and Evil Leopard on Parade151The Dems need to be sure to fight fire with fire.
The Massachusetts Spy6“No funds may be spent on any investigation or prosecution unless three career prosecutors appointed prior to Jan. 20, 2025 certify under penalties of perjury that such investigation or prosecution is well founded as a matter of fact and law.”
jkavanagh.bsky.social5“And, by his treason, stand'st not thou attainted, corrupted…?” “Henry VI, Part 1”
Eugene Freedman5Of course that's not up to the Judiciary Committee to write. They oversee Justice; they don't fund it. It's for Rep. Rosa DeLauro and the Appropriations Committee. And, Rep. Grace Meng who likely will be chair of the Approps Subcommittee on CJS.
Jen in Motion4I’m just going to be posting “Common Raskin W” all year next year, aren’t I?
Criminal Todd Blanche and MAGA regime are threatening incoming Oversight Committee Robert Garcia and Democrats after being triggered by the blue tsunami. The actual fascists making the bullshit threats are the ones who should be in jail for treason, crimes against humanity and election fraud.
Defiant Kracken🩵🧿🫡🇺🇸9@vicmeyers.bsky.social has a brilliant idea to stymie this regime! Send letters to all contractors in DC area that they will be under formal investigation for any work they are doing on any of Trump’s pet projects! I think it’s a great warning shot to start accountability!
EASTMAN8Trump is desperate to hold on to power, so he wants Todd Blanche to go after Democrats for performing their legal responsibilities. It is Trump’s pathetic reaction to his humiliating defeat on Nov. 3rd. Donald is a criminal, and his entire regime is a crime family that deserves to go to prison.
Dray Wharton6Todd Blanche and MAGA should recall that well-worn phrase they used so often in 2024… “elections have consequences”.
Mimiwills5We (the public) have to push for the Republican Party to be labeled a terrorist organization and call for all Republicans to resign from office. I know it’s a monumental task but the Republican Party will always be a white terrorist group and we should address them as such.
Christian Petersen5He's brought shame on the entire DOJ.
Michelle.cat3Blanch forgets who has subpoena power
Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and as Attorney General of the United States, he’s still acting like it. Blanche should be defending the Constitution, not threatening our Committee for doing our jobs. We will not be intimidated.
MJ (left-wing transgender witch)🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈14Can you impeach him next please?
riprof.bsky.social11No mercy. Go get all of them. Let them know never to fuck with democracy.
Ryno10Rep. Garcia, they may be thin-skinned, but that’s not the reason they sent you the letter. They sent you the letter because they are using the DOJ to intimidate you and anyone else who speaks out against this corrupt administration.
LisaTheLiberal 🦋10Blanche is acting like a Mob Consigliari. Fight back 🥊🥊🥊 Thank you Robert! We are lucky to have you fighting for us.
Solde8In addition to everything else, Blanche should lose his law license.
SirFrankieCrisp8His arrogant comments today impeachable - this fool echos Hans Frank - Hitler’s lawyer - in complete contempt for the rule of law. #lawyerup
*When @blumenthal.senate.gov sent out letters asking for more info about ballroom donations, Trump ordered Todd Blanche to criminalize doing so.
Tim Bak8I missed the Schoolhouse Rock on how the President and Attorney General criminalize legislators carrying out their duties? Was it after “I’m Just a Bill”?
Well at least trump takes National Security seriously, so I'm sure this will alllllllll workout.
M3The Nvidia company's board of directors is having its own independent investigation into Huang, while Trump's DOJ is threatening Democrats for asking questions & does nothing to protect National Security here.
Stewie2The criming won’t stop as long as he walks the earth.
Tracy Daniel2Todd Blanche can’t criminalize a Senator sending out letters.
Cindy Arnevik2And how much stock does Trump own of NVIDIA?
GARCIA: Todd Blanche needs to be reminded that Oversight is going to do our job, and that is to look at corruption, to pass legislation to stop further corruption. BASH: Even if you're being investigated by the DOJ? GARCIA: We're not going to be intimidated.
Michelle likes democracy.22Livestream the accountability. All of you should stay in the light so Miller’s undead army can’t get to you. Keep tons of people around as witnesses.
Chuy18let’s do hearings on his visit to Maxwell -/ and her transfer to a club fed.
UniversalHealthcare13I want this t-shirt. Best initial statement put out IN HISTORY OF CONGRESS.
Ido Amir7@robertgarcia.house.gov you need to remind Blanche that if anyone is going to go to prison, it is going to be HIM, and you're giving him the opportunity to come clean in front of the American people, and help expose the rest of the corruption, and maybe he'll get a better deal that way.
Jeffo5How does a sitting president threatening to use the office of the POTUS, to threaten another equal branch with prosecution and harassment if they do their constitutional oversight duty, not qualify as a constitutional crisis that demands immediate removal? Asking for a friend. 🙄
raventerp1.bsky.social5File a complaint with his bar for Obstruction of Justice.
Nat Turner’s Slave Rebellion477In other words, EAT SHIT TOAD BLANCHE.
Jason S27That's exactly what Hakeem Jeffries told kushner in their meeting that everyone is up in arms about that they didn't bother to find out what happened in. It was disclosed right after magaie magaerman (maggie haberman NTY) rage baited you all because you're gullible.
Nicole Votes 4 Harm Reduction24Reminder to follow this account if you want to know what Oversight is up to. They have been working hard since they were appointed by Hakeem Jeffries
Nancy4@democrats.org have been dominant in their messaging vs Republicans on this week-end‘s news shows. It’s a pleasure to watch and then see Douthat’s interview w/ Trump, who “found him reflective and seemingly accepting of his party's midterm election defeat.”
Angel2DaMax3Bravo, Garcia! Keep this energy up. #FightBack
Todd Blanche hit the Sunday shows and crashed out about Democrats investigating administration officials and donors. I watched so you don’t have to. youtube.com/shorts/9S3Sg...
wigglywag2Well, I freaking love this all day long, into tomorrow and all of next week. 👍🏼
James R (Randy) Fromm2Given the record of Blanche and his DOJ ‘team’ before the courts – not to mention the degree to which they have eroded the presumption of regularity – were I a member of the Trump administration called to testify before Congress, I’d start looking for a ‘good’ outside attorney.
jejaffe.bsky.social1Accountability is coming and on its heels comes JUSTICE!
Canute1Thank you for watching & reporting The administration will find it increasingly difficult to gaslight all of us when both our individual & collective experience point to how the obscenely rich getting richer is why the rest of us poor are getting poorer #parasiteVillainaires consume our future
Bruno Kallok1It's so nice to see you smile!!!😊
miongj.bsky.social1Thank you Liz for all that you do...
www.huffpost.com/entry/todd-b... #USDemocracy #ProudBlue. Blanche should be added to Democrats impeachment list. Blanche is under the impression he works for Donald Trump, Stephen Miller and Bloody Pete Hegseth and not the people of the United States. Blanche is 100% wrong and will be rebuked
road2lexington.bsky.social4So what Todd Blanche just did was announce criminal intent. That will play well at his trial.
mlsully.bsky.social2Impeach him. He is supposed to work for the American people not Trump!
debnicktom.bsky.social1Easier to make a list of high level Republicans who shouldn't be impeached. I got nothing.
Obviously not what the Justice Department is there for but ask yourself, "has anything I've seen from DOJ in the past year suggested or even hinted that Todd Blanche might be a competent lawyer"
Ian Boudreau129This guy is in so far over his head that the fish glow in the dark
Rawdog Internationalist6Not going to be intimidated by a man named "Todd"
safetycapz.bsky.social3well, one of the key roles of a lawyer- and one of the roles that will define us in the slop era- is the ability to say "No, we're not doing that. That is stupid." He lacks this ability, and he just takes marching orders to fight the dumbest fights. So he is an objectively terrible lawyer.
Rod O’Connor 2Well he did win the bs Presidential Immunity argument at SCOTUS but that was already wired
Merlisa2He couldn't even get Melania to show up at Trump's trial. His case was Trump paid hush money to save his marriage and not the campaign. Jury never saw the wife in court. Only politicians. 😆 Penthouse and private jet Melania never made an appearance. Stupid defense.
EASTMAN1Trump is desperate to hold on to power, so he wants Todd Blanche to go after Democrats for performing their legal responsibilities. It is Trump’s pathetic reaction to his humiliating defeat on Nov. 3rd. Donald is a criminal, and his entire regime is a crime family that deserves to go to prison.
Todd Blanche and the DOJ, getting ready to go after incoming Democrats. So I don't want to hear shit about "We shouldn't be going straight for impeachments."
dallasszafranski.bsky.social6Because he clearly doesn't know the law or who he is supposed to be working for, Blanche needs to be the first to go.
Luke5"We shouldn't be going straight for impeachments." I will block these people on the assumption they're bots. If they're not actually bots, they've fucking stupid so who cares.
mrtubbs.bsky.social4And they wonder why 75% of Americans can’t stand them! Talk about living in a bubble
hesster.bsky.social4Go after trump corruption full throttle and make life more affordable for Americans. They were the 2 top issues in the voter polls? The American public put trust in your hands! Dont fuck it up!!
Democracy's Anger Translator3"My job as AG is to protect Republicans from accountability and congressional oversight. F*ck your stupid Constitution."
AmeliaQuebouti2Blanche is a mobster. That’s all.
Todd Blanche saying there’s no corruption is like a 10-alarm spider-sense tingling moment
Sarah ⚧ ✡︎3One of my earliest political memories is a Danish minister getting in front of the cameras and saying "Nothing is being swept under the rug." Six months later the government was brought down by the worst scandal in generations.
