Next to his ultimate boss, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is proving at age 51 to be ever willing to subvert justice to his advantage.
Colleagues who spoke to The Daily Beast have trouble making sense of it.
They recall the Colorado native of earlier years as affable, hardworking, and level-headed during a two-decade ascent from night student at Brooklyn Law School to federal prosecutor in Manhattan. Blanche’s rise then seemed to dip and itplateaued until he became Donald Trump’s personal lawyer between the president’s two terms. He has essentially continued in that capacity, representing the re-elected Trump rather than the American people, first as deputy attorney general and now as acting head of the U.S. Department of Justice.
