Blanche's Hollow Deal: A Temporary Reprieve from Accountability The compromise between Todd Blanche, acting attorney general, and two Republican senators has been touted as a breakthrough, but it's little more than a faint attempt to paper over the cracks in an already tattered foundation.
The deal allows Blanche to withdraw his order creating a $1. 8 billion weaponization fund and clarifies that broad tax immunity granted to Donald Trump only applies retroactively.
Critics are right to be skeptical of this arrangement, not just because it's unclear what concrete changes have been made, but also because it fails to address the underlying issues.
