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.
Democrats should just push him further. Any criminal charges will get laughed out of court, and could themselves be grounds for impeachment.
I think he knows this, which is why he’s talking about charges, and not filing them. If he thought it would work, he would have done it already, before the election.
