Todd Blanche called out over DOJ happiness claim: 'I literally laughed out loud'

A claim by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that there is great happiness within the Trump administration –– and the Department of Justice –– was shot down by a former high-ranking DOJ official on Saturday morning.Appearing on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer not only dismissed the Blanche boast but also admitted she found it highly humorous.In an interview, Blanche, who replaced the fired Pam Bondi, stated, “[Trump] is somebody who has high expectations for his Cabinet and for this administration. It's not just the Department of Justice, it's in every single area. And so that type of communication from President Trump should make every American happy, because it means that there's an executive, a chief executive, that is making sure every one of his Cabinet members are working as hard as they should.”Asked for comment, Oyer smiled and replied, “It's not even funny, but I literally laughed out loud when I first heard Todd Blanche say that. And I laugh every time I hear him say that because it's so absurd. No one is happy about what's happening at the Justice Department right now. It is a travesty, it is ruining the justice system in our country.”Pressed if Blanche is “auditioning” to keep Bondi's former job, Oyer had a ready answer.“That's exactly what's going on around the entire Justice Department. It's this cast of insane characters who are falling all over themselves to try to impress the big boss in the hopes that they will be the next Pam Bondi.” - YouTube youtu.be
