Thank you, Lisa, for outlining and highlighting the quid pro quo between Trump and Blanche. These are some staggering figures that you have collected. No doubt, Blanche is stunningly and staggeringly unfit, and this is more evidence.

Thank you, Lisa. This is one of the best analyses I’ve seen on Blanche’s conflict of interest with his “former” and de facto current client.

Some really good and well supported observations. Let's see how this allays out.

I don’t think that the more prominent of these senators you’ve listed are considering their integrity. They’re trying to predict the future repercussions of their vote and whether they can spin the narrative in their favor. Their vote will reflect what they believe (fretfully hope) is the most survivable narrative.

Addendum: thanks for delineating all of this. I’ve seen your interviews with Paul Krugman. Great stuff!

Anything involving Trump involves grift. Those are the kind of people who do business with Trump because moral people like some of the ones in his first administration avoid people like Trump like the plague because Trump is the plague and so are the billionaires in this country who deserve Life in prison and worse in many cases. Unfortunately, the American court industry/American criminal justice for profit industry is also a grift.

The legal commentators were lawyers need to pull their heads out of their asses

I believe Trump has been paying Blanche illegally the whole time he has been in DOJ!

Lisa, I have yet to find a fault in any of your arguments brought forth, ever. Brilliant, once again! No one could doubt your courage and integrity, pushing back against this corrupt and despicable Trump regime. I'm seeing anxiously forward to your report, after Todd Blanche has been effectively eliminate as potential USAG.

Purely by virtue of the past relationship this should be refused. He needs to be the people’s lawyer. He has White House counsel
