Barack Obama Expresses Strong Disapproval Regarding Criminal Charges
“We are absolutely doing nothing but what we should be doing at the Department of Justice,” Blanche said. “I wake up with a very clean conscience every morning.”
The public disagreement occurs amidst several prominent investigations involving Trump's opponents.
Most notably, Comey was recently charged after prosecutors claimed a 2025 Instagram post showing seashells arranged to form the numbers “86 47” was a threat against Trump, the 47th president. Prosecutors contend that “86” is widely understood slang meaning “to eliminate” or “get rid of.”
Blanche defended the case, asserting that threats against the president must be taken seriously due to recent assassination attempts and increasing political extremism.
Last year, Trump publicly encouraged then-Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue charges against Comey, James, and Sen. Adam Schiff, stating on social media that “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED.”
Blanche refused to discuss private conversations with Trump when asked if the president personally directed the prosecutions.
“But rest assured,” Blanche said, “he has much better, bigger and important things to do than to worry about me doing my job.”
Blanche also redirected Democrats’ criticism back at them by highlighting the numerous criminal prosecutions Trump himself encountered before returning to office, including cases initiated by state prosecutors in New York and Georgia, as well as federal investigations supervised by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
“So I welcome criticism. Let’s go,” Blanche said. “But if you’re sitting in a glass house, you ought not throw stones.”
