OMG: Trump’s attorney general CAUGHT in BRUTAL MOMENT
Before I show you this clip, I just have. to say I'm usually able to temper my. anger. When I saw Trump's acting. Attorney General Todd Blanche say what. he said here, I was not able to temper. anything. >> Do you want an answer? >> Yeah. >> Okay, so not yes or no. You gave me. three documents. The only document I. said we're not moving forward on today. is the first document identified which. is the which is the anti-weaponization. fund. There was still a settlement. there's still a settlement agreement and. there's still. second document I signed is not an. addendum, it's a separate Attorney.
General order. >> Okay. Okay. So So but you're not you're not. going to rescind the addenda the not an. addendum the second order? >> No, this. >> thing you're talking about you So the. blanket immunity is is not something. that you're going to move back on? >> It's a blanket immunity. It's not true. >> It is. >> No, it's not. Read it.
>> Okay. United States releases, waives, acquits, and forever discharges each of. the plaintiffs from and is hereby. forever barred and precluded from. prosecuting or pursuing any and all. claims, counterclaims, causes of. actions, appeals, requests for any. reliefs. I mean. This is This is a This is an order from. you. But you're not prepared you are. prepared to say that the president and. his family will be.
barred. are immune from. That's a yes. >> No, it was not a yes. I had not answered. the question. I can't answer if you want. me to. >> What are you doing with this? >> Okay, so there was a settlement which is. one of the documents you showed, okay? Part of the settlement included the the. the second order that you just held up. and that is still nothing has changed. with that. What I said today what I've. said a couple times today as what we. talked about yesterday, is we're not. moving forward with the.
anti-weaponization. um fund. >> Okay, but you are moving forward with. this second order. >> It's not moving forward. There's a. settlement There's a settlement that the. IRS entered into with President Trump. and others, his family and his. companies. As part of that settlement, as is customary in IRS settlements, there's a separate AG order. >> Friends, listen to what is being said. here uh uh uh uh today here. This is. really pretty extraordinary.
um that we are going to. forever. barred and precluded from examining or. prosecuting the president, his sons, and. the Trump organization's current tax. filing. Simply put, you just gave the. president's family a tax immunity to the. tune of about a hundred million dollars. >> Not true. >> Well, yes, you have, my friend. >> Let me just say again, working in. politics, I've been forced to be able to.
compartmentalize, right? To not lose my. cool every time something happens. because it'll just suck what little joy. is left out of my soul. But watching. that clip, I am absolutely. infuriated, livid. Todd Blanche, Trump's. former former personal criminal defense. attorney, uh is a shameless. hack. He is not only pretending that. Trump somehow didn't negotiate himself. and his family blanket immunity from. anything that Trump could claim is. {quote} lawfare or weaponization, uh. which includes audits, which Trump. 1,000% did. But Blanche's behavior is.
straight-up turning this government into. a banana republic. And he just does not. give a flying because he has zero. allegiance to the law or the. Constitution or democracy and is solely. out to defend his criminal client. If. you are looking for a person who is. almost unilaterally helping destroy. America, look no further than Todd. Blanche, a man who can lie so easily and. almost doesn't even occur to him that. the truth actually exists. Just a quick. note here to say that if you appreciate.
my work, which is and always will be. 100% free, a small ask is if you could. please pre-order my new book The Day. After, which explores how Democrats must. finally wield power if they're fortunate. enough to get it back. I'll also be on. tour in DC, New York, Chicago, San. Francisco, and LA in July. You can grab. tickets to the tour and you can. pre-order the book at the same link, which I'll put on the screen and then in. the post description of this video. Again, I'll never paywall a single piece. of content, but this is the one time. that I'll ask for some support for a. book that I think really meets this. moment. Thanks so much. Now, for those.
who are not shameless hacks who lie as. easily as they breathe, the reality is. that Acting Attorney General Todd. Blanche himself signed a one-page. addendum to the $1.776 billion. anti-weaponization fund settlement, which permanently bars the Department of. Justice and other federal agencies, including the FBI and the SEC, from. pursuing claims against Trump, his. family, and their businesses for any. matter that they characterize as lawfare. or weaponization, including past tax.
returns. And as Representative DeLauro. says in that clip that you saw above, the immunity is described as blanket or. forever, potentially shielding that. family from a hundred million dollars in. IRS audit liabilities. It's also just. outright illegal. The deal is collusive. self-dealing that violates federal law. prohibiting executive interference in. tax audits. According to 26 United. States Code 7217, quote, "It shall be. unlawful for any applicable person to.
request, directly or indirectly, any. officer or employee of the IRS to. conduct or terminate an audit or other. investigation of any particular taxpayer. with respect to the tax liability of. such taxpayer.". So, when Todd Blanche signs an addendum. categorizing audits as lawfare and. barring the government from ever. engaging in it again, it is not only. hackish but outright illegal. And let me just say, if a Democrat ever. did the same thing, we would never ever.
ever hear the end of it. From Fox and. Friends at 5:00 in the morning until. Jesse Waters at night, it is all we. would hear about and rightfully so. because it is so nakedly corrupt. It is. the stuff that outright destroys. democracy, certainly anybody's trust in. the government. Who else in the United. States is shielded from audits forever? No one. But Todd Blanche, someone who is. supposed to be the top law enforcement. official in America, is creating a. second tier of justice only for one man. because law and order or something. Not.
to mention it's serving as a tacit. admission that Trump is going to violate. the law. Like not for nothing, but if. you don't plan on committing tax fraud, guess what you don't need? A carve out. for committing tax fraud. If Todd. Blanche signed a one-page addendum. barring the federal government from. prosecuting Trump for murder, people. might ask the obvious question, why does. someone need immunity from committing. murder unless they plan to commit. murder? Leave it to these corrupt to. not only undermine the law but broadcast.
their criminality to the entire country. at the same time. And I got to ask, isn't it interesting. that the DOJ has all this time to help. elevate Trump above the rest of the. country as it relates to tax fraud and. whatever other corrupt cronyism he's. engaging in to make sure that he's got. carte blanche to commit crimes forever. and yet no resources to, oh, I don't. know, release the rest of the Epstein. files, the three and a half million. files that are still under wraps? We're. still waiting on those files and the DOJ.
has lost all willingness to comply. And. Todd Blanche has decided that the DOJ is. no longer just going to follow the law. at all. Probably because he himself is a willing. co-conspirator. And that's not coming. from me, it's coming from Pam Bondi. >> It is clear. in justice this this part of the of the. interview. that she continues to push. >> Oh. >> all of the investigation and the blame. on acting AG Todd Blanche. She said and I quote,
"Acting AG Blanche was managing the. entire investigation." End quote. And. what you're going to hear. in that interview and what she's saying. here in her words and remarks is that it. was Todd Blanche, the current acting AG, that was leading the Epstein. investigation. And quite frankly, all of the mistakes that we saw, the redactions, not protecting. survivors, she continues to push that back onto the.
acting AG Todd Blanche, who by the way. was Donald Trump's former personal. lawyer. So, does it really surprise you. that someone like Todd Blanche, who is. squarely on the side of the pedophiles, is also willing to help Trump elevate. himself above the law? So, we can sit there and lie without an. ounce of shame on his face, but he's. already broadcasting what his priority. is. Working not for the American people, but for his client. And our tax dollars. are paying for it. Before you go, I'm very excited to.
announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward. Power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly, how we should. finally wield power if we're fortunate. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo. Please pre-order today by visiting. the link in the episode description or.
