US AG Todd Blanch’s Ethical Misconduct

The following complaint deals with Mr. Blanche’s ethical violations, (a) conduct that seriously interferes with the administration of justice, and (b) conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and (c) special responsibilities of a prosecutor. His attacks on the judiciary and the State Bar, will be addressed under appropriate headings as set forth herein.

No. 1: Attacks on Federal Judiciary

Case Law supporting Blanche’s misconduct

I will begin by apologizing with the following commentary, which is the result of recent case law research, wherein I discovered an Ohio Supreme Court case involving attorney Thomas Yoder. Yoder was the 5th attorney in Ohio that I employed that was subsequently suspended or disbarred for engaging in a variety of misconduct. In truth, the ethical and in some cases, criminal conduct of these five miscreants is what ultimately inspired me to investigate and report on the untoward conduct of attorneys, judges, and politicians. With that out of the way, I will proceed with citations to relevant disciplinary rulings.

ToledoBar Assn. v. Yoder, 162 Ohio St.3d 140, 2020-Ohio-4775

Supreme Court suspended Yoder for two years and found him guilty of attacks on a judge by engaging in (a) conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, and (b) made false and derogatory statement(c) accused judge of being incompetent, (d), said judge’s decision “was absolutely insane,” accused judge of lying, and (), said judge has a “vendetta” against him.

In Cleveland Metro. Bar Assn. v. Morton, 166 Ohio St.3d 266, Chief Justice O’Connor stated in part:

“Morton blatantly breached his professional duties, including preserving the integrity of the judiciary, that he had agreed to abide by so that he could practice as an attorney in Ohio.” CJ O’Connor emphasized that Morton cannot seek refuge in the First Amendment when he chose to disregard these accepted duties.

Morton was found guilty of (a) engaging in undignified or discourteous conduct that is degrading to a tribunal (b) making a statement that a lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualification or integrity of a judicial officer, and (c) engaging in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, and (d) blatantly breached his professional duties, including preserving the integrity of the judiciary, that he had agreed to abide by so that he could practice as an attorney in Ohio.”

In re: Supreme Court of Kansas v. Jordan, 518 P.3d 1203

The Kansas Supreme Court disbarred Jack Jordan and the 2^nd Circuit upheld his disbarment involving the following findings of his misconduct, (a) made false or reckless statement regarding qualifications or integrity of a judge, (b) conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, (c), conduct adversely reflecting on lawyer's fitness to practice law, and (d) frivolous claims and contentions.

In re Van Syoc, 216 N.J. 427

Van Syoc given six-month suspension for impugning the integrity of the trial judge by stating that he was in the defense’s pocket.

It is painfully clear that when it comes to egregious attacks on the Judiciary in violation of his sworn duties as an Officer of the Court, Blanche’s response is analogous to Clark Gables famous line in Gone with the Wind, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

Attacks on U.S. Judge James Boasberg

• "Judge Boasberg's pattern of targeting our attorneys is nothing short of judicial harassment designed to intimidate the Department of Justice from enforcing our immigration laws."
• "This appeals court decision confirms what we've known all along – this judge is more interested in protecting illegal aliens than protecting American citizens."
• American voters gave President Trump a clear mandate to secure our borders and remove those here illegally. Judge Boasberg's obstruction tactics won't stop us from delivering on that promise."

Nov 7, 2025

• “They have a robe on but they are more political or certainly as political as the most liberal governor or D.A. … There’s a group of judges that are repeat players, and that’s obviously not by happenstance, that’s intentional, and it’s a war, man.” 
• “It’s happening over and over and over again. … The system is not set up for efficiency when it comes to rogue activist judges. So, we lose days, we lose weeks, months, sometimes because of this, and that’s why activist groups do what they do.”

Nov 10, 2025: Federalist Society annual conference

• Urged young lawyers to join what he called a “war” against “rogue activist judges
• DOJ lawyers are “bouncing around this country fighting these activist judges.”
• Claimed some judges are now “as political as the most liberal governor or district attorney.”

No. 2: Attacks on State Bar

• Called the DC Bar “a blatantly Democrat-run political organization” and a “partisan arm of leftist causes.”
• “The D.C. Bar in particular is one of the most activist, obnoxious bars when it comes to going after conservative lawyers. It’s out of this world.”

Given the egregious nature of Mr. Blanche’s unabashed willingness to repeatedly violate the Code of Conduct in displaying his utter contempt for members of the Judiciary and more importantly his oath of office, I would respectfully assert that nothing less than a lengthy suspension and in truth disbarment should be visited upon him by this Committee.

And lastly, it is indeed a sad commentary on the current state of the Justice Department that someone of Mr. Blanche’s ilk is in a position to viciously attack judges he and/or his primary client, the President take personal umbrage with because of rulings they didn’t like.
