Schiff Blasts Trump DOJ Nominee: "You Can't Answer A Simple Question"

Описание: Imagine nominating your own criminal defense
lawyer to run the Department of Justice.

That is exactly what President Trump did.

Todd Blanche represented Trump in two of the
biggest criminal cases in modern American history:
— The New York hush money trial where Trump
was convicted on 34 felony counts
— The Jack Smith federal cases on January 6th
and the Mar-a-Lago classified documents

Then Trump nominated Blanche as Deputy
Attorney General — the second most powerful
law enforcement official in America.

At his Senate confirmation hearing,
Senator Adam Schiff — himself a former
federal prosecutor — asked two simple questions:

1. Will you support releasing the Jack Smith report?
Blanche said no.

2. Will you commit to preserving the evidence
from Trump's investigations?
Blanche deflected.

Then Schiff delivered the line that made
headlines across the country.

And here is what makes this story even more alarming:

All three of Trump's top DOJ appointments —
Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche,
and Solicitor General nominee D. John Sauer —
were all Trump's personal criminal defense lawyers.

All three.
The entire top of the Justice Department.
Defended Trump in his criminal cases.
Now running the institution that could
investigate him again.

And shortly after Blanche promised senators
he would rely on career ethics officials —
the Trump DOJ removed its senior career
ethics official and replaced him with two
political appointees.
One graduated law school in 2021.
They now have final authority over ethics
decisions — including approving waivers
that let Blanche and Bondi participate in
cases where they'd normally be required
to step aside.

In this video, we break down the full hearing,
both sides of the argument, what the guardrails
put in place after Watergate were designed to
prevent, and what it means when those guardrails
are dismantled one appointment at a time.

⚠️ All hearing quotes verbatim from public
congressional record. Both sides presented
fully and fairly.
