About this episode

The episode discusses Todd Blanche's qualifications and conduct in relation to his role as Attorney General amidst a controversial New York Times report.

The night before Todd Blanche's Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing to become Attorney General, a New York Times story by Glenn Thrush lands with 352 pages of internal DOJ emails, obtained by the watchdog group American Oversight and shared with the paper. Hawk's view is that Blanche is genuinely qualified on paper, a former line prosecutor and trial attorney, which is exactly what makes his conduct worse: he has kept acting as Donald Trump's personal lawyer while running the department.
