Todd Blanche is … very high? But respected? No.

It’s just another sleazy trump move, gifting a sex offender with an indefensible transfer to a nicer prison. What does our pants-on-fire criminal president get in exchange? We will probably never know. But we can guess.

But it is highly unusual for the #2 official at the DOJ to be involved in this kind of activity. You can tell because Trump insists the opposite multiple times.

COLLINS: Two questions for you. One, did you — were you aware of and did you personally approve the prison transfer for Ghislaine Maxwell that your Justice Department–

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: I didn’t know about it at all, no. I read about it just like you did.

COLLINS: And do you believe that she’s a credible voice?

TRUMP: It’s not a very uncommon thing, I–

COLLINS: Do you believe that she’s credible to be listening to? Your Deputy Attorney General sat down with her recently.

TRUMP: Well, he’s, let me tell you. He’s a very talented man. His name is Todd Blanche. He’s a very legitimate person, very high. I just said very highly thought of person, respected by everybody.

And I didn’t talk to him about it. But I will tell you that whatever he asked would be totally appropriate. And it’s not an uncommon thing to do that. And I think he probably wants to make sure that, you know, people that should not be involved or aren’t involved are not hurt by something that would be very, very unfortunate, very unfair to a lot of people.

But I will say this. Todd Blanche is one of the most highly respected people you’ll ever meet. So I know this. I didn’t discuss it with him. But anything he talked about with her, or the fact that he did that, not unusual, number one and, most importantly, is something that would be totally aboveboard.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COLLINS: There are a few things, though, that are unusual. Experts tell us that Ghislaine Maxwell would have been required to get a special waiver to be transferred to what is called and known as Club Fed. And it is certainly not every day that the number two person in charge at the Justice Department conducts an interview like this himself.



Trump is a sleaze bag. Blanche must be ‘very high’ to align himself with Trump. And no, he is not “respected by everybody’. Anyone who lies for trump deserves zero respect.

I saw some lib prosecutors on MSNBC speak highly of him. I don't know if it was a professional courtesy or not, but who knows what effort he might bend to the benefit of his former client.

The whole thing is very weird.

The whole thing stinks like a convention of outraged skunks smoking skunk weed.

We are watching right in front of us in real time this admin working furiously to cover up Trump's involvement in child rape. He's going to pardon Maxwell, she's going to say "dunno about trump" and the media and maga will expect everyone to just move on. Insane.
