Trump AG Caught as Ethics Scandal Explodes

from The Intersection with Michael Popok · host MeidasTouch Network

Popok comments on new reports that when he became Deputy Attorney General a year ago, Todd Blanche, now acting AG, was instructed by the DOJ's then ethicist (now fired), that he could not be involved with any DOJ matters involving Trump in his personal capacity.  Yet that is ALL that Blanche has done from the beginning, while blowing kisses at Trump from his press conferences.  Which Bar will seek to discipline or disbar Blanche when he is finally out of the DOJ is the real question that Popok answers on his latest hot take.
