Newly Minted Attorney General Todd Blanche Refuses NBC Host’s Pledge To ‘Always Act Independently’ Of White House

Recently confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche refused Sunday to take a pledge to lead the Department of Justice independently of political pressures by President Donald Trump and his administration.

In one of his first media interviews since his Aug. 8 confirmation by the Senate, Blanche told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker he doesn’t need to worry about Trump pushing him to cross an ethical or legal line.

“As we just heard in your address to the Justice Department staff this week, you said you and the DOJ will, ‘uphold the law without fear or favor.’ You, of course, used to be President Trump’s former personal defense attorney. Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House?” Welker asked the attorney general.

“Well, there’s a big difference between saying, ‘We will always do our job and investigate any case’ and ‘act independently of the White House.’ No, I’m not going to pledge that. And no attorney general should ever pledge that,” Blanche said. He then argued that, if he were to pledge that, then it would mean “if President Trump says, ‘I want the Department of Justice to go after every violent criminal in this country,’ which is what he has said, what you’re saying to me is I should say, ‘No, sir, I’m not going to do it.’”

I'm beginning to think that some/many MSM Dem-shills are too stoooopid to notice that Trump Administration people come prepared to - and do - smack down the Dem-shills' gotcha "questions".

Kyrsten Sinema Sued Over Affair With Married Bodyguard

Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat who became an Independent during her Senate term, is accused of breaking up a bodyguard’s marriage by having an affair with him, prompting his ex-wife to seek monetary damages.

The New York Post reported August 16 that Sinema, who served as a senator representing Arizona until last year, finally admitted to details of the affair that gave rise to a “homewrecker” suit. Matthew Ammel, the bodyguard, traveled with Sinema across America, and court records reviewed by the New York Post detail their affair. Like many a woke leftist who identifies as bisexual and feminist, Sinema appears to be very heterosexual, but apparently not too worried about stealing another woman’s husband.

The affair started around Memorial Day in 2024, based on the court records, at which point Ammel had already been working for the senator for around two years. “We were staying at an Airbnb in Napa, California. We were outside. Matt kissed me. We went inside and had sex,” Sinema admitted. They continued their adulterous romance in Washington, D.C., at CNN anchor Jessica Dean’s wedding in New York City, in Phoenix, and during a Colorado fundraising trip. Ammel said the affair continued into 2025, but apparently Sinema did not directly confirm that.

And Ammel’s sordid affair destroyed his marriage with Heather and also hurt their three children. The wife and children were innocent victims of yet another political corruption scandal.

Heather Ammel is requesting that the court award her $75,000 in a suit under a North Carolina law that permits wives to sue the mistresses of their ex-husbands. But Sinema isn’t willing to give in, as the Post noted.

How surprising is it when people who reject moral standards do immoral things?

So like most others you lost more than you won.

Volunteered to do a bartender buddy's taxes about a dozen years ago. He thought he was going to owe big time because he had a lot of gambling "winnings". It wasn't until I saw his statement from the casino and the state that his losses FAR outweighed his winnings.

No one ever brags about their losses, only their wins.

And facts such as those listed in that article are why it irritates me when people claim that other countries think the US is a joke.
