Summary
Hawk plays the clips that mattered from the Todd Blanche and Jay Clayton confirmation hearings. Both men are qualified on paper, which in Hawk's view makes it worse: they treat the roles of Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence as extensions of the Oval Office. The moment that lands hardest is Blanche answering a question about who he represents by saying he is Trump's lawyer, then walking it back. Federal prosecutors appear in court for the United States, and Hawk argues the first answer is the honest one.
