BREAKING: “IS THERE A CRIME THERE”? Dana Bash goads Attorney General Todd Blanche into admitting that congressional Democrats may face CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS and possible PRISON TIME!
Donald Trump's Attorney general Todd Blanche refused on national television to rule out throwing Democratic lawmakers in prison Sunday as CNN's Dana Bash grilled him over the president's order to investigate his political opponents.
Bash pointed out that Democrats were preparing to exercise their constitutional oversight powers when they take control of Congress in January.
“Wait, wait, wait! No, no, no!” Blanche interrupted, accusing Democrats of threatening Trump administration officials with investigations and impeachment.
“So are you saying that you are going to investigate them?” Bash demanded. “And what you just described, is there a crime there?”
“Well, it depends on what's said,” Blanche replied. “So yes, there could be.”
Bash then confronted him with Trump's demand that Democratic lawmakers be imprisoned.
“Is that a possibility?” she asked.
“Well, it depends on what the crime is and what they've done,” Blanche answered.
Blanche insisted that Democrats had gone beyond legitimate oversight by threatening investigations of Trump officials, particularly newly promoted White House chief of staff Stephen Miller.
And when Bash pressed him about Rep. Robert Garcia, the incoming House Oversight Committee chairman who told Miller to “lawyer up,” Blanche offered to send Garcia a copy of the Constitution.
Ha ha, funny guy. Who also thinks he’s a tough guy:
“I would be very worried if I was a member on that committee.”
Democrats haven't even taken control of Congress yet, and Trump's attorney general is already raising the possibility of criminal investigations against the lawmakers preparing to investigate him.
