We should all leave Todd Blanche alone.

This schmuck is probably one of the poorest members of the insidious Trumpf junta.

Blanche supposedly only has $4.7m in assets according to one website.

At $4.7M, dude can't even afford a Trump Gold Card.

I thought Trump only hired the best people.

This good-for-nothing sleazy mouth-for-hire is Michael Cohen's replacement it seems.

There isn't a well deep or wide enough to throw all of these sh*tbirds in to.

How much crypto does Congress and their spouses own?

How much in contributions have they taken?

All legislation or lack thereof is suspect when legislators benefit from that choice.

America should be so proud of the Trump administration which is, without a doubt, best governme I don't hant money can buy. Americans are divided between those who profit from the corruption and the rest of us suckers. This Presidency wll go down in history as the most profitable in history for the well connected few.

"conflict of interest" ???

This is Trump's Personal Criminal Atty/Assist US Atty Gen under another Trump Personal Criminal Attny Bondi.

He has no conception of the idea of conflict of interest.
