The argument being made is that Todd Blanche did not earn this position through integrity or public service. Critics argue he earned it by serving as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and turning the DOJ from a watchdog into a personal sh*eld.
The development giving critics some hope is that the January 6 fund-related move reportedly concerned several Republican senators, including some who rarely break with Donald Trump. The path to block his confirmation remains narrow, but it exists.
Right now, the outcome may depend on whether senators read the room and respond to public sentiment.
