Judge's scathing denunciation ought to sink Trump nominee in a single word: analysis

A single word in a scathing ruling by a federal judge should be enough to sink the nomination of Todd Blanche for attorney general, according to a new analysis.

The 79-year-old president formally nominated his former criminal defense attorney to lead the Department of Justice, but MS NOW columnist Jordan Rubin flagged a key word in a recent ruling against the administration – and that's "tainted" – as reason enough to disqualify him.

"That’s how a judge described Blanche’s investigation into Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who became a prime target of the administration’s crudely incompetent deportation regime last year," Rubin wrote. "The Trump-controlled government illegally sent Abrego to El Salvador in violation of a court order, then resisted additional court orders for his return, and then finally secured his return but only to greet him with an indictment that a judge recently dismissed as unconstitutionally vindictive."
