I've lost count of how many times something like this has happened.

[berg80]

Our once-respected DOJ is in the toilet.

When Trump-appointed judges laugh his shameless pet lawyers out of court, way back when -- including the "rigged election" garbage -- that tells you all you need to know. He is a menace.

Any member of the regime who doesn't resign in protest over trump's efforts to subvert the elections is complicit in that effort.

Do you agree Blanche's actions were.......“fundamentally incompatible with his ethical obligations under the New York Rules of Professional Responsibility.”

I'm not going to comment on that as I have not reviewed the case nor have had time to finding panting headlines that agree with me to fuel my outrage to the point that I no longer care about truth and accuracy.

Allow me to help so you can inform yourself.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche played a central role in resolving Trump v. I.R.S. by signing a controversial settlement ⁠Order Shielding Trump Family From I.R.S. Audits Will Remain. He authorized a $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" and issued an addendum barring the I.R.S. from pursuing tax enforcement against Trump and his family for past tax returns ⁠Trump tax returns get protection from IRS under fund settlement.

Was there a legal justification for the settlement? I'm sure you perused that thoroughly since you seem to be so knowledgeable about the case and wouldn't just repeat something you saw online that agreed with your already set in stone position.

101 Former Judges Ask the New York Bar to Investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche​

Today, 101 former judges filed a complaint, asking the New York State Bar Attorney Grievance Commission to “initiate an investigation into Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche (Registration No. 4192456) for violation of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.” The judges are joined by Democracy Defenders Fund and Lawyers Defending American Democracy.

​

There are three grounds for the request:

• The role Blanche played in the settlement of Trump v. I.R.S., which the referral calls “fundamentally incompatible with his ethical obligations under the New York Rules of Professional Responsibility.” They cite multiple ethics rules that prohibit lawyers from engaging in “Conduct that tends to reflect adversely on the legal profession as a whole and to undermine public confidence in it warrants disciplinary action,” before concluding, “Never could that be clearer than here.”
• Blanche’s abuse of his authority at DOJ against personal and political enemies of his former client, Donald Trump. The complaint points out that this violates ethics rules against bringing frivolous cases, defined as “the lawyer knowingly advances a claim or defense that is unwarranted under existing law.” It also refers to a rule that prohibits lawyers from “engage[ing] in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice” and in harassing conduct.
• Blanche’s “personal involvement in overseeing the Department of Justice’s botched and incomplete release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA).” The complaint references “serious concerns” about Blanche’s interview of Ghislaine Maxwell. The complaint argues he failed to meet “expectations of competent and diligent representation of the United States,” that his work “was burdened by his own conflicts of interest,” and that overall, the circumstances “reflected adversely on his fitness as an attorney.” The complaint concludes that “The American public deserves an Attorney General who serves the interests of the Nation, and not those of a single man.”

There really isn't much if any room for debate over whether Todd is deserving of impeachment and removal from office. Nor is there any legitimate defense of him being recognized as the most corrupted AG in the country's history. Whatever the designed independence that existed in the past separating the running of the DoJ from the prez is now gone.

We will never know about the extent of the criminal behavior a normal DoJ would have prosecuted, or the country irreparably harmed, had this one not been almost entirely preoccupied with trump's corrupt personal agenda. An agenda that includes being in violation of the Epstein File Transparency Act for over 6 months. Every day that goes by the DoJ is breaking that law.

If we are to return to any semblance of normalcy, even if it fails, the country must show the capacity for responding to what has happened to a once revered agency of the government. The process of impeachment against Blanche must be initiated.

Amazing, isn't it? The level of democrat lawfare knows no bounds. Glad to have you on our side.

Agree or disagree?

• The role Blanche played in the settlement of Trump v. I.R.S., which the referral calls “fundamentally incompatible with his ethical obligations under the New York Rules of Professional Responsibility.” They cite multiple ethics rules that prohibit lawyers from engaging in “Conduct that tends to reflect adversely on the legal profession as a whole and to underm.ine public confidence in it warrants disciplinary action,” before concluding, “Never could that be clearer than here.”

Yeah, the corruption is wide open at this point.

It says a lot that the guy who promised to release his tax returns sued the IRS for releasing his tax returns.

The cult doesn't care that he lies non-stop.

And the fact is, it wasn't the IRS that leaked Trump's tax returns. It was a contract worker at Booz Allen. Yay privatization!

So why didn't Trump sue Booz Allen?

Because Booz Allen donated to his ballroom.

Wide open corruption.

With Trump suing the IRS, he is the plantiff AND the defendant!

So much ooze in this swamp of corruption.

They wanted to destroy our institutions and it's certainly working.

Trump demands that his lawyers break whatever rule needs to be broken, he demands that they constantly file frivolous suits and make absolutely stupid claims, and they pay the price for it. I don't know if he gets blackmail material on them, threatens their families, whatever. But they are immediately stained, and how long is that list now? Meanwhile, he stays out of trouble.

His mentor, infamous mob lawyer Roy Cohn, taught him well.

How far we've fallen.

Come on man Roy Cohn died 46 years ago.

You may have mistaken me for your research assistant. It occurs to me part of the problem with you folks is you rarely research anything. trump/RWM says it, you believe it.

As for Blanche's complicity in the immunity deal trump, the fam, and the Org. got, the matter raised by the judges is one of an ethical violation. But other officials have raised questions about its legality. Read the article I provided a link to (the last one listed) in post #3.

 

[konradv]

Same morons as the 50 former intel officials?

101 judges?!

You are the COMMUNISTS! Take that in. Understand it. Death is coming here in huge numbers. This is not a statement that Democrats make after every piece of legislation passed by Republicans as propaganda. The traitors from other lands who left them to get away from what they are introducing here. Now you are Communists. There will be American style Gulags. Plenty of them. Sadly, many citizens will fall in line for their checks and benefits affecting law enforcement, security, spy, all other alphabet agencies that enforce laws internally and externally and even a National Police Force in some form.....Yer paperverk, please! Or more to the point some electronic 21st century form of compliance.

Okay, they've raised questions. The matter needs to be settled and I don't see you posting anything about the legal reasoning behind it, only a wholehearted endorsement of the complainers.

How many ways can you come up with to dodge giving your opinion as to whether Blanche's actions were unethical/illegal?

In an amicus brief filed Monday, the former officials argued that the audit provision was unlawful and should be scrutinized.

"The President of the United States is obligated to pay taxes he owes, just like every other American. If the Immunity Order is allowed to stand, it will enshrine two separate tax codes, one for President Trump, his family, and his 'affiliates,' and another for every other American," the group of former officials wrote. "It opens the door for President Trump and future presidents to avoid scrutiny of their taxes while in office and absolve themselves and favored individuals of wrongdoing."

As a reminder, because it seems trumples often forget, Blanche is supposed to be working for the interests of American people, not trump's.

Here is the legal rationale. https://democracyforward.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Trump-v.-IRS-Amicus-June-22.pdf

I can't spoon feed you any more info than that. All of which was available to you to track down. We both know why you didn't.
