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 "obviously ethically wrong," Weissmann then added, "I should say, if you are Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, you know, there are bar associations that can get involved and can look at their conduct if they decide that they are going to handle this matter, in spite of the fact that there's an obvious conflict, because it's the president who appointed them, it is the former client of theirs."
"So there's really is good reason within the Department of Justice to make sure that career people are handling this," he added.
Weissmann further raised the possibility that this could be the "straw that broke the camel's back."
