In one news cycle, DOJ's Todd Blanche got caught on tape admitting to a nationwide abortion strategy, lost another voter-roll lawsuit (DOJ now 0-20), killed the anti-weaponization fund and got Trump publicly threatening to resurrect it, and got dragged by a senator for an 'embarrassing day' tied to the Epstein files.
