Todd Blanche, the criminal defense lawyer who sat next to Trump in a NYC court room as his client was convicted of 34 felony counts, the man who publicly announced that he “loves” the president and will be honored to do anything the president asks him to do, is a low IQ Roy Cohn. Cohn was an infamous monster, a highly unethical lawyer who protected the Mafia and screwed any clients he could get away with screwing and was eventually disbarred, as well as facing criminal charges as he died of AIDS. Roy Cohn was brilliantly evil. Blanche is not brilliantly evil, his mind is about as banal as an unethical lawyer’s mind can be. He has one focus: to serve his master, right or wrong, literally in every way he can. He is, in my constitutionally protected opinion, a fucking imbecile.
In one public interview after another he announces that the DOJ is the lawyer for the president and all of his allies (he warns that they’ll rush to the defense of Nazi strongman Stephen Miller, for example, if he’s subpoenaed by Congress) and repeatedly accuses the president’s legion of enemies of being criminals and terrorists.
After all, isn’t it a crime for a military veteran to remind the serving military that their oath to the Constitution includes an obligation not to follow orders to commit war crimes? Isn’t it also clearly a crime to accuse the president of violating the law just because he took boxes of documents he was not allowed to have to his country club in Florida after he organized and fomented a riot to stay in power? Isn’t it a crime for Congressional Democrats, now the bullies about to be in charge, to investigate so-called wrongdoing by officials who were only following the leader’s orders?
The Nuremberg defense — I was only following orders when I destroyed that town that illegally opposed the Fuhrer — didn’t work for the original Nazis. It won’t work for our homegrown (and imported) American fascists either. Meanwhile, they’re making all the righteous noise they can. Alan Dershowitz raised a variation on the Hitler defense in one of Trump’s impeachment trials: if the president truly believes he’s doing the right thing, he can’t be impeached or prosecuted for it.
Blanche presumably signed (actually, it was Trump’s White House lawyer Will Scharf, another man of apparently limitless integrity) the letter sent to Democratic lawmakers yesterday threatening them with criminal prosecution if they try Bengazhi style hearings, attempt to Hunter Biden Don Jr,. Jared Kushner, Ivanka or investigate anyone they say ordered drone airstrikes that killed 243 fishermen accused of non-death penalty crimes, without any proof, on the say so of a vain and angry Secretary of War and Maximum Testosterone-fueled Lethality, or subpoena Dr. Brainworm who made Measles and explosive diahrrea from Cyclospora Great Again, or the person or AI operator who gave the order to turn 160 Iranian primary school children into chopped meat in a double tap missile strike (kill any survivors with missile number two) in Netanyahu’s war of aggression.
ALL TOTAL WITCH HUNTS that Todd Blanche (and Will Scharf, Harvard law graduate) will see are met with the full force of the law – felony prosecutions and hundred year prison sentences, if not deaths by firing squad, for any Democrat who attempts to initiate anything like what his boss’s myrmidons (guys like noble Jim Jordan and heroic James Comer) have been doing for years while actively fighting to cover up the guilt of wealthy white men, likely including Mr. Donald “I never raped her, I only sexually assaulted her, the lying bitch” Trump, powerful adults who had sex with underage girls in the company of Trump’s fun-loving former best friend, Mr. Epstein.
In a three-page letter to Representative Robert Garcia of California, the incoming chairman of the Oversight Committee, the White House counsel, Will Scharf, said Democrats had “evinced a clear intent to transgress” constitutional limits on congressional investigations. He predicted that their inquiries would be used “to harass and aggrandize, rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”
The warning from the White House was dated Monday, a day after Attorney General Todd Blanche said on CNN that members of Congress had “done nothing but threaten everything that’s happening in this administration.”
“That is not governing, that is not leading, that is not oversight,” Mr. Blanche said. He, like Mr. Scharf, once represented Mr. Trump as a [CRIMINAL — damn you, Grey Lady!] defense lawyer.
Here is an excellent take on the legal stupidity of these brazen lickspittles:
