Acting AG Todd Blanche defends Comey indictment, addresses '86 47' posts
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the Justice Department's indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, saying the case 'goes beyond' a seashell photo Comey posted and that prosecutors possess other evidence he would not describe. Blanche said people WHO displayed the '86 47' message will not all face prosecution, calling such messages 'posted constantly' but insisting Comey's case includes additional, undisclosed evidence. The remarks matter because they signal how the Justice Department plans to differentiate charges in politically charged cases and raise questions about selective prosecution of public figures.
WELKER: “Should everyone selling ‘86-47’ merch worry about getting prosecuted?” BLANCHE: “Of course not. That phrase is used constantly… the shells are just part of the case.”🤔 No answers. Trump’s DOJ is a dangerous farce.
Minnesota Liberal14The other part is 1. Trump doesn’t like him 2. Blanche is trying to keep his job
Katherine Davies12The stupidity (and fascism) is off the charts. This guy is at the top of the list of those who must go to prison.
catlynwrites.bsky.social8This will never even make it to trial. Toady Blanche has to publicly bow and scrape before Trump so that he can further enrich and empower himself because that is what life is all about for people like him.
Martin8They've no answers because there's zero justification for what they're doing.

TobyTBD3Comey’s legal team can just easily get the case dismissed now. Blance just admitted it’s vindictive.
Smith’s Hand3They keep implying that the year long investigation uncovered some kind of evidence that Comey really was advocating for violence. But they don't show any of it. Because it doesn't exist and this case is DOA in court.

Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, defended the indictment of James Comey, saying the Justice Dept. had more evidence, but declining to describe it. The former FBI director was indicted over a photo of shells spelling “86 47,” which the department characterized as a threat to the president.
idigdna.bsky.social13This entire administration is so fucking stupid. Bunch of whiny babies.
Syme8Any drunk who’s been thrown out of a bar knows what being ‘86’d’ means. Seriously. What a snowflake 47 is!
gertrude1907.bsky.social386 46 merch was advertised as "impeach Biden" merchandise. Indictment on a photo posted of shells on the beach is absurd. The DOJ is engaging in retribution towards Trump's enemies.
Walkin' Dude🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇪🇺🏳️🌈3It must be because of the shells. It couldn't be the message
sjhcanada.bsky.social3The trial won't go very well if they are admitting to withholding evidence already.
Judy2These people have no clue what “law” even means.
Michael 2In other words, Todd Blanche's indictment of Comey is his audition for becoming permanent Attorney General. My guess? Blanche won't fare any better than Bondi. And how did that work out for her?
This is Our New Normal2Whenever I saw people wearing his red hat, I automatically assumed that person is racist, intolerant, hate-filled and brainwashed. When people see others wearing 8647 hats & tee-shirts, they probably assume the wearer is woke and hates the 🍊 Warmonger. All of those assumptions can be correct.
jamesvabrams.bsky.social2He's implying that Comey made other threats on Trump's life. How likely is that? Can't wait to see it. With context.
Robster 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 🏴2Garbage. That’s a Trump tactic: “we’re got more evidence”; “they desperately want a deal”; “a lot of people are saying to me” etc etc Let him present it in court rather than audition for the orange corrupt traitor with this nonsense in the court of social media / MAGA opinion .
Sip2Todd Blanche will do or say any to stay on the right side of Dear Leader. In a normal administration, he wouldn’t be allowed within 10 miles of the Justices Department.
gwenrollo.bsky.social2I think is admission that all sorts of people publish the phrase 8647 and the do not get arrested for it. Seems to make a selective prosecution claim a slam dunk.
