Summary
Donald Trump has nominated three of his personal lawyers for key Justice Department roles, raising concerns over potential politicization of federal prosecutions.
Todd Blanche, his defense lawyer in the New York hush money trial, is set for deputy attorney general, a role overseeing federal prosecutions.
John Sauer, who defended Trump in a Supreme Court case, is nominated as solicitor general, managing DOJ Supreme Court strategy.
Emil Bove, another defense lawyer, will be principal associate deputy attorney general without needing Senate confirmation.
Unlike Matt Gaetz, these nominees have serious legal credentials and institutional knowledge, making them likely to effectively advance Trump’s personal and political agendas.
Well, as long as “concern” is raised, everything will be alright. Hope someone “slams” him or “claps back” to teach him a lesson. That will keep us from falling into cronyism, fascism or from becoming an oligarchy, raising concern….
Weird that the person who ran for president as a legal defense and offense strategy wants to put his personal lawyers everywhere in the justice dept.
Well the greatest lawyer he’s ever had has been Merrick Garland. None of the rest of those losers did nearly as much as he did for Trump.
They have literally always failed at everything…so…I guess go for it?
So business as usual
