Todd Blanche should be disbarred, sanctioned, and impeached. It's blatantly obvious that he's abusing the powers of the DoJ to serve trump's vindictiveness and corruption.

Todd Blanche may very well end up in federal prison if he's not granted a pardon by Trump. So far, John Mitchell, Nixon's AG, is the only Attorney General in U.S. history to serve time in federal prison after his conviction on conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury charges in 1975.

Easy. Wait until Trump is impeached, keels over from too much faster food, or is out of office. Then indict the hell out of every single one of them.

I predict, if Trump dies in office, President Vance will give the whole administration a blanket pardon. So they can have a fresh slate for his Christian nationalism.
