Politico: Some members of one of Washingtons most exclusive clubs have a message for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: We dont want you.
Around February last year, Blanche started the rigorous process to join the Metropolitan Club, which is one of Washingtons oldest private clubs and claims D.C. royalty as members. But at least six members have written to the Met Clubs board of directors to object to Blanches joining, saying hes too polarizing and has politicized the Justice Department

(4,480 posts)1. Let's see: Blanche is only a temp AG, after that his future as a power is bleak. My thought is they don't want
him because he has no future in which to exert power so the members have no use for him, not because he's polarizing.
