Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should watch out, according to a former prosecutor.
Andrew Weissmann, a former senior prosecutor for special counsel Robert Mueller, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday, where he was asked about Donald Trump reportedly demanding hundreds of millions of dollars from tax payers due to the federal indictments he faced before he started his second term in office.
Calling the move "obviouslyethically wrong," Weissmann then added, "I should say,if you are Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, you know, there are bar associations thatcan get involved and can lookat their conduct if they decidethat they are going to handlethis matter, in spite of thefact that there's an obviousconflict, because it's thepresident who appointed them,it is the former client oftheirs."
"So there's really isgood reason within the Department of Justice to makesure that career people arehandling this," he added.
Weissmann further raised the possibility that this could be the "straw that broke the camel's back."
