Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should watch out, according to a former prosecutor.
Andrew Weissmann, a former senior prosecutor for special counsel Robert Mueller, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to discuss recent developments involving Donald Trump. He was asked about reports that Trump demanded hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers in relation to federal indictments he faced before beginning his second term in office.
Calling the move “obviously ethically wrong,” Weissmann emphasized the potential consequences for Bondi and Blanche. “I should say, if you are Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, you know, there are bar associations that can get involved and can look at their conduct if they decide that they are going to handle this matter, in spite of the fact that there’s an obvious conflict,” he explained.
Weissmann highlighted that the conflict arises because it is the president who appointed them and it involves a former client of theirs. “So there’s really good reason within the Department of Justice to make sure that career people are handling this,” he added.
He further raised the possibility that this situation could be the “straw that broke the camel’s back,” hinting at escalating consequences if ethical lines are crossed.
