CNBC Is reporting here that Judge Leonie Brinkema of the US District Court for Alexandria is allowing the suit against the DOJ slush fund to forward. It seems she, like any sane person, doesn’t believe a word Todd Blanche says. She cites Blanche’s refusal to rescind his May 18 memo setting up the fund as basis for this decision.

The article states (can’t figure out how to do block quotes yet)

But Brinkema, in her order Thursday, wrote, “That the defendants have refused to accord a genuine degree of trustworthiness to their representations about the Fund not going forward is particularly concerning because of the President’s consistent support for the Fund and Acting Attorney General Blanche’s acknowledgement that the Fund remains ‘important.’ ”

“Although Acting Attorney General Blanche reiterated several times during his testimony

that the Fund was not going forward, when asked whether he would ‘issue a new memo in writing rescinding that May 18 memo,’ he replied, ‘I’m not committing to putting anything in writing. And I said it over and over again,’ ” Brinkema noted.

Stay tuned – this should be fun in discovery phase.
