It seems that some members of Trump’s ‘cabinet’ are getting worried about their futures. They’ve seen the writing on the wall. The blue wave is rolling, and it continues to increase. They see the people of America are u-n-h-a-p-p-y. The concern builds in them every day. The flubs increase every day. And then there’s the stupidity in Iran. We’ve already discussed this, so I won’t go into another rant, talking instead about how they are getting more and more uneasy and anxious. They have a while to wait, too. Kudos to Raw Story:
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed this week during the Conservative Political Action Conference that President Donald Trump’s administration has real fears about what will happen in 2028 if Democrats take back the office. The Department of Justice leader spoke to the audience during the event attended by conservatives and right-wing influencers in suburban Dallas on Thursday, describing why Trump’s team was so concerned about potential prosecution for “unspecified offenses,” The Daily Beast reported.
Heh. Well, if they get kicked to the curb before then, they won’t have as much to worry about, right? It sounds to me like he is acknowledging all the corruption and favoritism that’s happening in our government, even if he’s not actually saying so in those words. Blanche has one thing to worry about already, and that’s Ghislaine Maxwell. I’m glad she’s been out of the news for a while. Damn, but I detest that woman. Oops. Got sidetracked again. *ahem* It won’t make a damn bit of difference that this could be coming.
“Even in this administration, everybody’s afraid that the next administration, if we don’t win, we’re going to all be investigated and indicted,” Blanche said. “And why are they afraid? Because that’s exactly what happened during the last administration.” “All of Trump’s Cabinet, everybody that worked at the White House… had to go to the grand jury,” Blanche added. Before joining the DOJ, Blanche served as Trump’s personal attorney. In his comment this week about “go to the grand jury,” it was unclear whether he was referring to any specific cases or if anyone in the administration had been directly targeted.
If they hadn’t been such screw-ups, they might not have needed to go to a grand jury. And the current administration did not learn from Trump 1.0. They know about the investigations. They know the reasons behind them. They’re worse than the last one. Predicting this to happen won’t make any of them straighten up and do their job properly. Wouldn’t that be a simple solution? I guess not, if they want to *keep* their jobs. After Gnome’s disgrace, they have to be careful.
Several of Trump’s former allies have faced prison time, including former strategist Steve Bannon and trade adviser Peter Navarro, who both refused to respond to congressional subpoenas. Multiple Trump associates, including attorney Michael Cohen, political consultant Roger Stone, and former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, were also each convicted of different crimes throughout Trump’s first administration.
Blanche bragged during his public remarks that the DOJ had removed more than 200 attorneys who worked on criminal investigations into Trump, which has been viewed as Trump’s move to weaponize the agency against his critics and enemies. “There is not a single man or woman at the Department of Justice who had anything to do with those prosecutions,” Blanche said.
Ah, yes, the Revenge Tour™. It was stupid to get rid of all those people. The attorneys they have are overworked, as we know, and likely underpaid to put up with that crap. Have they lost people to that? Probably. There comes a point when you have to say “no more”.
We see that at least one ‘cabinet’ member is thinking about the future. But if he goes and brags that he fired all those people, he’s not going to change anything in terms of what he does. He’ll bring the hammer down on himself. Oops.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
as berretta used to say (or was it his parrot) don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
Ohhhh I remember that! And it’s such a perfect saying for this. I’m not sure which one said it, though.

The phrase “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” was popularized as the catchphrase of Detective Tony Baretta (played by Robert Blake) in the 1970s television crime drama Baretta (1975–1978). It was featured prominently in the show’s theme song, “Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow,” sung by Sammy Davis Jr..
