Strict Scrutiny · How Bad Is Trump's Attorney General Pick? · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

And Cornyn said, well, then what's going to happen to this term, this material term of this contract of the settlement agreement?

And Blanche had to admit that Donald Trump could sue Blanche.

for breach of contract because of the slush fund not happening.

And other senators also noted that Todd Blanch is the one who was negotiating all of this.

And just like Judge Williams, he had never entered a notice of appearance because nobody from DOJ had ever entered a notice of appearance.

And so that just girds this idea, right, or undergoes this idea that there's all of this, like, shenanigans going on and effery going on at the DOJ, and they're just so open about it now.

They don't even pretend to hide it anymore.

Yeah.

I thought that corn in exchange was fascinating, too.

Let's come back to it, but I actually – to what you were saying a minute ago about the kind of abandoning of all pretense of independence.

I thought there were a couple of really revealing exchanges on that score.

So let's play two, one with Senator Hirono, one with Senator Coons.

And then actually there's a third Coons exchange that where you sort of have Blanche kind of trying to say like, maybe I have like this shred of independence, but I'll never have to use it anyway.

So let's roll those clips now.

If you're confirmed and you're asked to take an action you believe to be illegal or unethical, would you resign?

I mean, yeah, the first two just confirm what you were saying a minute ago, Katie.

But that last one I wanted to play because it's like he performs a serious lawyer in a way that like superficially you could imagine thinking, oh, maybe this guy's not a clown like many people in this cabinet.

And then you're like, oh, that will never happen.

Donald Trump will never do or direct anything illegal or unethical.

And it's just like, oh, everything you say could be a lie because like no one believes that that will never happen.
