Dick Durbin: “Mr. Blanche continues to operate as the president's personal…”

“This is about rule of law versus lawlessness. The Attorney General is supposed to be the people's lawyer. Department of justice should work on behalf of all the American people. Mr. Blanche continues to operate as the president's personal lawyer, treating the Justice Department like a law firm serving one client, the President. The president has made it clear, clear he plans to keep Mr. Blanche in place as acting Attorney general. A damning comment on his capacity to honorably serve in this role.” (00:30–10:55)
