Newly confirmed US Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday to discuss his new leadership role at the Justice Department.

President Trump has a newly confirmed attorney general so the fake news media is back to crowing about the “independence of the DOJ.”

The same fake news stenographers never said a work about Merrick Garland sending machine gun toting federal agents to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Biden’s orders.

Kristen Welker tried to get Todd Blanche with a gotcha question about President Trump – but Blanche hit back hard.

“Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House?” Kristen Welker asked Todd Blanche.

Todd Blanche unapologetically said he is not going to pledge that.

“No, I’m not going to pledge that! And no Attorney General should ever pledge that!” Todd Blanche said.

“If I were to pledge I would be independent of the White House, what that means is that if President Trump says I want the Department of Justice to go after every violent criminal in this country, which is what he has said, what you’re saying to me is I just say ‘No sir, I’m not going to do it!’” he said.

“So I will act with integrity. Our prosecutors will act with integrity. We will prosecute without fear or any sort of favor,” Blanche added.

“And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing and that’s what every Department of Justice should do,” he said.

“Well, I guess big picture of the President asks you to do something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line? Would you do it?” Welker asked Blanche.

“The President will never ask me to do something unethical or illegal or illegal. He never has. He never will! I swore to the Constitution of the United States like every Cabinet Secretary has done…” Blanche said.
