Todd Blanche can't hide behind Trump pardon on Epstein files: ex-prosecutor

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is inching closer to criminal charges, and even a Trump pardon won't save him, according to a legal expert.During an interview on Legal Breakdown, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner dug into a new development with the Epstein files. The Trump Department of Justice handed over unredacted Epstein records to a judge on Thursday, and host Brian Tyler Cohen asked what kind of consequences Blanche still faces.Kirschner told Cohen that if Blanche handed over doctored files to the judge, he could face a "criminal investigation" and "obstruction of justice" charges.Cohen speculated, "If Trump holds true to his general ethos as it relates to law and order, he's going to dole out pardons to everybody in his vicinity," so "Todd Blanche probably does have a pardon waiting for him, especially if he's acting on Trump's behalf."However, Blanche still won't be off the hook, Kirschner said, "if Donald Trump delivers a pardon to Todd Blanche and there is some sort of showing, there's some evidence that Todd Blanche and Donald Trump were actually in a conspiracy together to cover up potentially incriminating information about Donald Trump."Kirschner explained that the Department of Justice under a future presidency can still challenge Blanche's pardon in federal court, and if a judge rules against the pardon, prosecutors can press the obstruction of justice charges."It will be incumbent upon the next Department of Justice, again once the rule of law comes back into the light of day, to march into court proudly and challenge that corruptly delivered pardon," Kirschner said.

Elaine Chao inadvertently throws a wrench in Mitch McConnell's proof-of-life claim: report

A small detail is raising new questions about Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) extended absence, according to a new report.The most recent McConnell proof-of-life photo faces fresh scrutiny as sleuths zero in on the outfit of the hospitalized senator's wife, former Trump cabinet member Elaine Chao, according to reporting by The Daily Beast.The proof-of-life photo taken on July 26 and released the next day shows Chao seated next to a smiling McConnell. Chao is wearing a white button-up shirt with "peach-colored seashells" on it. However, Chao was photographed wearing the same shirt on July 15 as she left the Washington, D.C., rehabilitation center where McConnell is recovering, per The Daily Beast. Not only is her shirt the same, but the entire outfit looks identical to what appears in the photo.She has the same "eggshell-white pants," and "her hair also appears to be the same shade and style in each image," The Daily Beast noted. The photo of Chao leaving the hospital came more than a week before the most recent McConnell proof-of-life photo, though, The Daily Beast added.The Daily Beast also compared Chao's appearance to photos of her taken around the same time and noticed differences. In a July 29 photo taken of Chao at the Aero Club of D.C., Chao "appeared with fuller-looking hair" that "was noticeably lighter and had a more reddish tint," The Beast reported. The Daily Beast also shared a post from Jeff Yang, a family friend of Chao. Yang wrote that he found it "implausible" that Chao would be wearing the white button-up seen in the July 26 photo because it was a $12 shirt made by Chico's. "SHE WOULD RATHER DIE."

Senator triggers online backlash after 'ludicrous' fracas with reporter: 'What is this?'

A Republican senator apologized for siccing security on a reporter, but it came too late to avoid being skewered online.On Thursday, Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) called for security and ran away after TMZ DC co-managing editor Charlie Cotton pressed him with questions about the absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)."Do you think Mitch McConnell needs to do more to prove his health?" Cotton asked. Ricketts answered, saying McConnell, who's been out of the public eye since mid-June, deserves "the time he needs." Cotton pressed him with a follow-up question, but Ricketts called out for the Capitol Police to "Stop him!""I reacted poorly," Ricketts later wrote in a post on X. "I appreciate @hicharliecotton taking my phone call so I could apologize."Cotton responded on X, writing, "I accept your apology Pete. I respect anyone who can take accountability when they make a mistake. Thank u for the call - I look fwd to our next conversation."However, online critics were shocked to see Cotton's video of the incident and vented their outrage before Ricketts could get off scot-free."What is this?" Drop Site News reporter Julian Andreone reacted on X. "They were coming from the basement, which is inside the building, meaning Charlie, a credentialed reporter, had already been through security and is free to navigate the Russell office building and film anywhere within it he'd like.""This is ludicrous!" Eric Michael Garcia, the DC bureau chief for The Independent, posted. "Charlie is doing his job and posed no security threat to Ricketts.""A senator can say no comment or say nothing," NOTUS reporter Igor Bobic wrote. "But reporters have every right to ask him questions in a public hallway.""Why did Capitol Police stop a reporter from asking questions?" MS NOW congressional reporter Matt Fuller asked. "The answer is because Sen. Pete Ricketts asked them to, but this is a wholly inappropriate use of the Capitol Police."
