President Donald Trump’s newest appointee made a stunning confession in a recent TV interview, and according to conservative commentator Rick Willson, in doing so, they have created “the fundamental grounds” for their future impeachment.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, newly sworn-in Attorney General Todd Blanche took part in an interview with NBC News and was pressed by host Kristin Welker as to whether or not he could pledge to keep the Justice Department independent from the White House, something long considered a foundational aspect of the agency. Instead, Blanche said that he could not do so, and argued that no attorney general could ever make such a pledge.<\/p>\n

Wilson, a vocal anti-Trump conservative commentator, tore into Blanche over the remark during his appearance on the latest episode of the “Fast Politics” podcast, with host and fellow commentator Molly Jong-Fast. Not only, he argued, had Blanche created the clear grounds for impeachment, but he also claimed to have heard confirmation from an elected Democrat that impeachment would be pursued in the future.<\/p>\n

“I have to tell you, I texted with a U.S. senator about two minutes before we came on the air, a Democratic U.S. senator, and I said, ‘This is the fundamental grounds for your impeachment proceeding against Todd Blanche?” Wilson detailed. “And he replied, ‘yes, it is.'”<\/p>\n

He added further: “He’s gone out there and he said he is absolutely going to serve Donald Trump no matter what he wants, no matter how illegal it is. <\/span>And the idea that the DOJ is subsidiary to the White House and not an independent judicial or an independent federal law enforcement agency is an astounding abrogation of his duties.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilson and Jong-Fast also touched on Blanche’s attempt to dismiss the question of whether or not he would refuse an order from Trump that crossed ethical boundaries. The new attorney general did not say that he would do so, but instead insisted that Trump would never ask such a thing, and never has in the past. This, the pair claimed, was becoming a common refrain from every Trump official pressed about going along with his illegal or unethical behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This <\/span>is my favorite part: the president asks you to do something that you feel crosses an ethical or <\/span>legal line, do you do it?” Jong-Fast said. “This is what all of Trump’s people have said at every like they figured out a workaround, right, instead of saying no. <\/span>What the proper answer is, of course, ‘I would never do anything illegal,’ But Blanche says what everybody says. He says [Trump] would never do that. <\/span>He never has and he never will. <\/span>He has. He will.”<\/p>\n
