In a very entertaining media interview that came after President Donald Trump appointed hard-nosed legal wolf Todd Blanche as former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s interim replacement, far-left Democrat attorney Marc Elias, a deep state hack who was involved in the law firm behind the infamous Steele Dossier, went ballistic about the new acting Attorney General.
In fact, Elias clutched his pearls and told Symone Sanders-Townsend on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight” that he is living in fear of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and that Blanche is a “dangerous” threat to democracy because he is good at sounding reasonable while doing what the president wants.
As background, AG Pam Bondi was fired by Trump, seemingly over claims that she leaked information to Eric Swalwell, a friend of hers, about an FBI investigation into him and plan to release information related to its releasing of files related to his relationship with Fang Fang, the communist Chinese spy. Trump then replaced her with Blanche, formerly her deputy AG.
Elias, in any case, declared when speaking to very far-left host Symone Sanders-Townsend on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight” that Blanche is a threat to democracy in America because of how he can “sound entirely reasonable” while pushing the president’s aggressive MAGA agenda.
That came when Sanders-Townsend said, commenting on the Trump Administration firing DOJ personnel involved in the legal witch hunt against President Trump and his family, “These prosecutors are career individuals. They were assigned to this case, a case that was opened because of questionable conduct by the president of the United States that resulted in a basis for an investigation.”
That is when a petulant Elias, who was deeply involved with the infamous Steele Dossier, started ranting and raving about Acting AG Blanche and what he can accomplish. He said, responding, “Look, Todd Blanche is dangerous because he’s an unusually good liar. I mean, he is able to lie and make it sound entirely reasonable.”
Continuing, he whined about the deep state hacks who have been fired because of their politicized behavior, saying, “I mean, as you point out, the prosecutors who he is criticizing, these are — these were line prosecutors who were assigned by their boss to do tasks that they were given.”

Elias still wasn’t done. He then went on to whine yet further about who was fired and what they had been up to, saying, “And in many instances, they were not even, like, in court lawyers. They were just lawyers who were processing evidence or reviewing documents.” Then he started whining about democracy, saying, “It’s a very, very, very dangerous day in democracy here.”
Watch him here:
Further, Elias insisted, calling Trump a madman, “It is not just that we have a madman conducting our foreign policy. We have a dictator surrounded by sycophants who are using the power of the state, the power of the federal government to target his political opponents and his political adversaries. And as we head towards elections, we should just expect a lot more of this.”
