AG Blanche on Representing Pete Hegseth If Impeached: When You Ask Me That, You‘re Ignoring History

RUSH EXCERPT:
BLANCHE: "Well, yeah, this has happened before. So we can all look at history. You don‘t have to. You know, when you ask me that you‘re ignoring history and including recent history. Yes. The Department of Justice actively defends. Now, some might get their own lawyer. It might be a combination of private counsel and government counsel. My job as the attorney general is, among other things, is to defend the administration. We do that in court in all sorts of ways. And I will tell you, if Stephen Miller, if they try to come after Stephen Miller for these, whatever it is that Garcia thinks he‘s going to do, instead of actually just conducting oversight and leading, of course, the Department of Justice will be there to defend him, just like if they went after any cabinet secretary or any person in government. We do it all the time. Department of Justice lawyers represent members of the executive, and the fact that that congressman Garcia is critical of that shows a remarkable lack of understanding of how government works. And I would be very worried if I was a member on that committee."
