Todd Blanche's Quiet Purge: How Trump's Acting AG Replaces Skeptics With Loyalists
A career prosecutor who questioned evidence against John Brennan is out. A conspiracy theorist from Fox News is in. The machinery of retribution runs on paperwork, not proclamations.
Maria Medetis Long raised a problem that didn't fit the plan. As a veteran Justice Department prosecutor, she had concerns—professional, documented concerns—about whether the evidence actually justified prosecuting former CIA director John Brennan. This week, she was removed from the investigation. Her replacement: Joe diGenova, Trump's former personal attorney, who spent years on Tucker Carlson's show insisting Brennan "colluded to frame Trump" with the FBI. No drama. No announcement. Just a staffing change.
