Having Blanchard in that spot is a joke. Blanchard is the "Sponge," i.e., the person in a business or government who will absorb all the complaints and "deal" with them so that the complainers don't go elsewhere. And where might they go, if not for Blanchard? To the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. In fact, Patrick Fitzgerald should go over all the cases that get reported to Blanchard before they all get swept under the rug.</p>
