"What can you tell me about Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's "proffer" to Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell? This was when Blanche met Maxwell in August for what now looks like a cozy chat, during which Maxwell saw no need to invoke the Fifth. Having now seen all these emails that have been released in the past couple of weeks from the Epstein estate,"
"My goodness, that's depressing. It's a crackup that Blanche references the government as though that's not him; he's on her team, this is not an adversarial proposition, because, really, he's Trump's attorney. Raise your hand if you're not Donald Trump's attorney. But they are running into some obstacles. You can't do fast, vindictive, vengeful work at the DOJ and not eventually get caught out. And the way they get caught out and called out is by judges, right?"
Judges are expressing growing skepticism about lawyers who represent Donald Trump, describing some as sloppy, untruthful, or conflicted. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell in August in a seemingly non-adversarial, cozy encounter during which Maxwell did not invoke the Fifth. Recently released emails from the Epstein estate raise questions about Blanche's posture and the government's role in that meeting. Concerns persist that some DOJ actions prioritize a president's personal interests over the public interest. Judicial oversight and courtroom scrutiny increasingly expose politically motivated or vindictive prosecutorial conduct and related ethical lapses.
