Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 30, 2026

Six senators accused Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche this week of having a conflict of interest when he shut down investigations into crypto companies, dealers and exchanges and eliminated an enforcement team dedicated to looking for crypto-related fraud and money-laundering schemes. A letter written by Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin and Mazie Hirono and signed by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, Christopher Coons and Richard Blumenthal cited a ProPublica investigation that revealed Blanche owned at least $159,000 worth of crypto-related assets when he ordered an end to the work.

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.
