There's a lot of positive things to say about Todd Blanche.

Moments ago, Todd Blanch was greeted by DOJ staffer shortly after he was sworn in as attorney general. There he is getting out of his SUV. And those are the cheers among DOJ staffers at the DOJ building in Washington, DC. You can see some handshakes as well. He was sworn in by another former Trump attorney and current sitting judge.
Emil Bove. If the midterms don't go Trump's way this fall, is there any world in which Todd Blunt stands up to Trump if he's asked to find some fake evidence of voter fraud? Or are we screwed now? What's good? Great. That's what I suspect.
The scary thing here is that as a matter of authority, very little has changed because of this vote. Todd Blanche was the Deputy Deputy Attorney General, Acting Attorney General, and could have continued as the acting attorney general for the rest of the term. But as a practical matter, that that may not change much. But what this essentially does is endorse a constitutional theory that the Department of Justice is Donald Trump. That the norms of separation no longer apply. And you heard an exchange when Todd Blanche was before Congress with Senator Koons, who asked him whether he would maintain any independence of the Justice Department. And he said that Article II of the Constitution gives Donald Trump the authority of the executive branch, period, full stop.
That is the unitary executive theory. And the idea here is that. Congress created the Department of Justice in eighteen seventy. Congress can define the scope of its authority, Congress can fund its appropriations. This is a novel theory, but it is one that has a lot of power. I wonder if that's a real possibility, Scott. Do you do you see that as a real possibility that people won't have a spine, they won't stand up to this and they'll see their own political prospects, they'll put their own political prospects in power above rule of law and democracy.
A lot of local election officials are much more prepared. for the next wave of disinformation. They they they dealt with it six years ago. They're ready for lots of different peculiar arguments from Trump. And they're ready for Trump to sow seeds of distrust before the election on election day and after. They have attorneys who are more prepared. The discrediting of Trump to judges shouldn't go understated. Him bringing Todd Blanche to make arguments to the courts about election fraud now It's gonna be even harder than it was six years ago when it was rushed out of court. Bringing these things to court and standing by them, it's like giving kids carrots and lime beans for dessert. You can try it. It's just not gonna go over well.
It's not gonna land. It's not gonna work.
Yeah, well there's that. There's also the what could happen if they just don't want to accept it and whether another January sixth might be possible.
