NOT the Attorney General mind you….
The guy staying HAS tried to follow the ‘LAW” even with Trump on his back….
The guys rumoured to be getting the hook has zealously tried followed Trump’s efforts to go after people he doesn’t like , even using dubious legal efforts…
Despite the media headlines?
The American Legal System IS working, and Judges, Courts and even Grand Juries, ARE putting ‘Limits’ on what a criminally convicted Ptresident, can do, and try to get away with….
And someone WITHIN the Trump admin, IS trying to keep within the ‘Law’….
A rift between two of President Donald Trump’s favorite prosecutors came to a head at the start of the year, when Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the president’s former personal lawyer, removed MAGA firebrand Ed Martinfrom a key post investigating the president’s political enemies.
The move to bench Martin — perhaps the official most publicly committed to targeting Trump’s political foes in the courts — has revealed a schism between two distinct factions within the administration.
One is a group that celebrates Blanche for what they consider as honoring guardrails around the rule of law. The other believes Martin is a martyr to the MAGA movement and the only one who is willing to do what it takes to deliver on Trump’s priorities.
In recent weeks, disagreements over how aggressively prosecutors pursue Trump’s political adversaries have become more acute — as the president has made it clear he is not happy with the Justice Department’s progress in bringing criminal prosecutions against people he believed wrongly targeted him in investigations dating back to 2016….

“It’s not helping the president’s agenda to have these things play out in public,” one Trump ally who knows both men told CNN. “You can understand the frustration that Blanche’s office is where things go to die, because things move so slow. But Ed’s ways ultimately don’t help get what the president wanted…
…
Martin is expected to depart from the Justice Department in the coming weeks, CNN previously reported. His ouster represented the culmination of a monthslong campaign by Blanche to keep Martin operating within the bounds of the law.
The Weaponization Working Group investigations that Martin was supposed to lead quickly stalled. He produced little to no results on investigating major Trump priorities, including what Trump alleges was widespread overreach in the Biden Justice Department’s handling of the January 6 riot and into the now-defunct prosecutions of Trump and members of his staff by former special counsel Jack Smith.
Still, Martin found other ways to please the president….
…
The episode between Blanche and Martin illustrates a fundamental rift in the department. Some want to work within the legal traditions of the Justice Department in order to carry out the president’s agenda. The others view the constraints of the Justice Department’s legal traditions as too cumbersome for carrying out the president’s orders….
…
One ally of the president observed that while the Justice Department by design moves slowly, ultimately dispensing with its legal constraints has damaged the department’s credibility and its ability to carry out his agenda, citing the rejection of prosecution attempts by grand juries and by judges in recent months.
“The fact that this keeps happening on our side tells you a lot,” the person said. “They’re competing for who is more MAGA.”
“The GOP keeps doing this, we do this to ourselves and we can’t get sh*t done,” the person added….
Note….
After this news in the media?
Will Trump go after the Blanch also?
