The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General on a party-line 12 to 10 vote, sending it to the full Senate. Hawk, a trial attorney, walks through why he considers that vote indefensible, starting with what Senator Sheldon Whitehouse raised in the hearing: two weeks ago a federal judge in the Trump versus IRS case found that Trump and Blanche had committed a fraud on the court and referred Blanche to his state bar for disciplinary investigation, a matter that remains unresolved.
Hawk reiterates his contract-law argument from his prior videos. The two documents Blanche released to satisfy John Cornyn and Thom Tillis do not modify the underlying settlement, because its own terms require any change to be signed by all parties, and one document is unsigned while the other carries only Blanche's signature. In Hawk's reading, Trump could still sue to reestablish the roughly 1.78 billion dollar fund after confirmation.
He then answers Tillis's both-sides framing directly, pointing to Trump's 34 felony convictions, the civil fraud judgment, the Carroll verdict, the second Comey indictment, the attempted prosecutions of Letitia James and others, and the dismissed reflecting pool case. Hawk argues the record shows a Justice Department being reshaped to target the president's opponents, and he is candid about his alarm at what a confirmed Blanche means.
