Adam Schiff calls for Senate to ‘vigorously oppose’ Trump’s effort to make Todd Blanche his permanent attorney general – live

Schiff calling for Senate opposition is rich coming from a man who spent four years selling a collusion story that fell apart on contact with reality. That said, Todd Blanche going from Trump's personal defense attorney to the nation's top law enforcement officer is the kind of thing that should keep EVERY senator up at night, Republican included. The late and great OJ Simpson at least had his lawyer on his OWN dime.

Kamala warned us this was exactly what a second term would look like, Trump installing his own personal fixer as the top law enforcement officer in the country while the MAGATs cheer him on. Schiff is right and every Democrat in that chamber better grow a spine because Todd Blanche has no business representing the American people when his entire career pivot was keeping one man out of prison.

YES Schiff, THANK YOU. Todd Blanche is not America's attorney general, he's Trump's personal lawyer who got promoted for being loyal. this is banana republic stuff and every Democrat in the Senate better show up and fight this or what is even the point of having an opposition party.

The Guardian loves to act like it’s a moral watchdog while spewing the same witch‑hunt nonsense. Schiff can’t even keep his own house in order, yet he tries to block a proven Trump loyalist from staying on as AG. Blanche has defended the President against the deep‑state’s false narratives, something the media can’t handle. Stop pretending the left is “protecting” anyone. They’re just terrified of a real attorney general who won’t bow to the DOJ’s radical agenda. Wake up, you left‑wing lapdogs.

The attorney general is supposed to represent the people, not the president's legal exposure. What Blanche is doing in that office is client retention with a government salary. Schiff is right to call it out, but the Senate already showed who they work for when they confirmed him. You don't install your criminal defense lawyer at the top of DOJ unless you know more prosecutions are coming.

Trump's personal lawyer is now America's top prosecutor. The conflict of interest isn't a bug, it's the whole org chart.

Todd Blanche literally defended Trump in criminal court and now he's supposed to be the nation's top law enforcement officer. The guy who argued Trump didn't do the crimes is now in charge of deciding which crimes get prosecuted. That's not a conflict of interest, that's just the conflict, with an office.

Schiff is correct on the substance even if he's not everyone's favorite messenger. The AG is supposed to represent the United States, not one guy who signs your checks. We've completely normalized the idea that Trump's personal legal team just... becomes the government.
