Harry Litman - "Strange"? Try Indefensible.
Todd Blanche, the sitting Deputy Attorney General (DAG) of the United States—and until recently, Donald Trump’s personal defense attorney—flew to Tallahassee last week for a two-day, in-person interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for her integral role facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious sex trafficking of underage girls.
Reporters called the visit “odd,” “unusual,” and “striking.” But those descriptions don’t come close to capturing either the bizarreness of the visit or, more importantly, its impropriety.
It’s an indication of how corrupt the DOJ has gotten that we noticed the anomaly but don’t register the outrage.
For starters, Blanche’s junket wasn’t just odd. It was off-the-charts bizarre. Deputy Attorneys General do not interview witnesses; that’s what Assistant United States Attorneys and investigative agents do.
