Newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche gave a speech Thursday to the Department of Justice employees. He began by listing off his resumé to justify his appointment.

Blanche didn't mention how he tried to cut a deal with Epstein cohort Ghislaine Maxwell to clear Trump of all wrongdoings with underage girls. It didn't completely come to fruition, but for her efforts she was moved to a much nicer facility.

Towards the end of his 20 minute or so speech, he made these remarks.

BLANCHE: Remember the work you're doing and why it matters.

Remember the victims that you're helping, that you're representing, that you're trying to make whole, the communities you're making safer, the rule of law that you're defending, and hopefully that helps you get through the day.

I know that I will not get every decision right. Everything that I do will not be the right path or the right decision.

No one does that, but I do promise you this.

I promise you that I will work as hard as any of you.

I promise you that I will listen to you, that I will listen to the ideas that you have or the adjustments that we need to make, and if we need to make them, I will.

As Acting AG his decision to create a $1.776 billion dollar slush fund to pay off January 6th insurrectionists at Trump's behest was a slap in the face to any conscious human being in the US and those officers who were hurt and died as a result of the January 6th insurrection. His other insane decision was to settle a bogus Trump $10 billion dollar lawsuit against the DOJ in exchange so Trump, his family members, and his businesses were protected from IRS audits.

So he does get every decision wrong.

And he already is a failure.
