ACTING AG TODD BLANCHE BLASTS MEDIA FOR “SHOCK AND AWE” OVER ENDING DOJ WEAPONIZATION — CALLS OUT 4 YEARS OF UNPRECEDENTED LAWFARE AGAINST TRUMP
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche just unloaded on the fake news media for whining about ending weaponization at the Department of Justice.
“When we talk about ending weaponization as if that’s a bad thing for us to do,” Blanche said. “People in this room for four years — some of you same people — sat here with the last administration when you saw a weaponization of this department the likes of which had never been seen in history and some of you are looking down now.”
He laid out the record: “You had a president who was indicted four times by this department. You had a president who, along with this department, had assistance. So this department helped two other local DAs go after the president. You had this department who stood idly by while states tried to keep President Trump off the ballot. That is what happened in the past four years.”
Blanche dismissed the outrage: “When I’m asked questions or when I see reporting about shock and awe at this supposed weaponization of this Department of Justice — it means nothing to me because it’s completely false.”
He explained the change underway: “What we’re doing and what we’ve been doing for the past 14 months is changing this department. We’re no longer — people say the president wants to go after his political enemies. No. The President has said time and time again that he wants justice.”
Blanche added: “And if you look at what happened to him, his family, his administration… they got subjected to massive investigations by this department.”
