If he can meet with Maxwell for 8 to 9 hours and only spend minutes with multiple survivors, well… that says it all right there. Not suitable for any government or private position as a lawyer.

If it was Hunter Biden, Todd Blanche would be all over it. Pam Bondi can close the Epstein investigation but Blanche cannot reopen it… or will not?

Release The remaining files, for one. You know, the ones with the evidence you're hiding.

He's the lead law enforcement officer for the country! Who are these "other people" to whom he refers??

Meeting was worthless from what I’ve heard here. The mishandled Epstein victims should hound Tillis into voting against confirmation. He’ll probably vote for TB, his fellow Trumpist, but he (Tillis) should pay a price for setting up the worthless charade meeting. They’re just playing games with the people as usual.

As Tom Leary’s written, the survivors should start targeting senators with pleas to not confirm and use any and all platforms to tell the American people to call their Senators and tell them they won’t vote to reelect unless they kick Blanche to the curb. .

He’s “just” the Attorney General.

Unbelievable. WTH does he think his job responsibilities are?

This broke my heart. The level of disinterest &, frankly, he sounded misogynistic & arrogant in his tone with these survivors, is infuriating! I’ve been married to an attorney 40+ years& what Blanche is saying is just plain false!!!

Fact is: he has the ability to facilitate this investigation AND provide the information about the Maxwell meeting & transfer BUT, he’s deliberately refusing &, my guess, has been instructed to zip it.

What a scumbag. He cannot be AG.

“You need to talk to other people,” he said. “I can’t open an investigation. They can. I’m just the attorney general.”

‘Other people’?? The top law enforcement official in the country cannot do law enforcement? Then what's the point of him? Oh, yeah, I forgot. The point of him is to protect orange turnip. The hell with the rest of us.

My expertise in law is UNCLOS / international not domestic criminal but can anyone tell me exactly what flavor of ‘privilege’ this forking misogynist piece of trash blanche is trying to assert? Who is / are the client(s) he’s claiming to be protecting here?

To be clear, since he is NOT the lawyer for maxwell, trump, epstein / estate, or any of the other parade of horrible creatures who perpetrated these heinous crimes, it can’t be attorney-client privilege. There is no spouse so there is no spousal privilege.

And so we come to the privilege he is likely talking about: the 5th amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Aha. That’s the one. He’s a rabid magat so he's protecting himself, of course, and justice for everyone else be damned.

"i'm just the attorney general." If he can't do anything, what good is he?

A.G. for A.G.! You don't have to be a lawyer to serve in the job.

I hope Judge Sullivan fines him personally the $1,000/day that Katie Phang is asking for! And while you are at it Judge why don't you find him in contempt and get him disbarred??
