Attorney General Todd Blanche once again threatened to prosecute newly elected Democrats for speech promising accountability for Donald Trump and his cabinet.
For the third time in two days, Blanche warned about comments from Democrats, indicating it was his job as the chief law enforcement official to stop them from escalating to crimes.
Many Democrats campaigned on rooting out government corruption, with promises to hold the Trump administration accountable. Following a big blue sweep in the midterms, Democrats quickly announced probes into top officials, including Blanche himself.
it’s also your job as the chief law enforcement official to stop comments from the trump administration from escalating to crimes, but you’re fucking terrible at your job and allowed that to happen constantly, so now we need to prosecute you alongside them. it’s not a crime to state what the law says should happen.
