Let's explore the idea that uh that the president never has and never would ask him to do anything unethical or illegal.
voice-verified
Now, obviously it that may depend on your definition of unethical, but um I mean this is the man who is Deputy Attorney General put together a deal for Donald Trump where not only was there
voice-verified
to compensate people they said who had been the victims of weaponized justice under Joe Biden.
voice-verified
And that would have included people who'd taken part in the January the sixth riot and who even those who had attacked police officers, for instance, potentially in line for a payout.
voice-verified
Massively controversial.
voice-verified
But also as part of that deal, this agreement that the president, his family and his companies would never face any kind of IRS tax audit.
voice-verified
There's quite a lot of people who would say that was unethical
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And and that in and of itself, you know, some people would say looks a a little bit like a conflict of interest, taking somebody who had defended you personally and putting them into the Justice Department.
voice-verified
But it's fascinating to look at his background, I think, because it he came from a a a blue collar upbringing.
voice-verified
Uh it seems always felt as though he was a little bit looked down upon by the elite legal firms in New York.
voice-verified
He didn't actually do as well in some of the um big fancy firms that he worked in as he might have expected to
voice-verified
Two, he wasn't a partner.
voice-verified
And a lot of those New York lawyers were a bit sniffy about representing Donald Trump, weren't they?
voice-verified
He was never seen as being from the the top drawer.
voice-verified
But here you are, Todd Blanche not only takes on his case, he also left his job with a big firm to go out on his own to defend um Donald Trump in the Storm McDaniels case.
voice-verified
And this was not at a point when it was at all likely that Donald Trump was going to become president again.
voice-verified
Again.
voice-verified
I mean, he really did loop as though he was, you know, suffering politically quite badly.
voice-verified
He had all of these different legal cases coming against him.
