Former CIA agent says indictment proves ‘not one shred of decency’ left in Trump lawyer

A former FBI agent and the former CIA director took turns dismantling President Donald Trump’s interim AG Todd Blanche for his thin indictment of former CIA head James Comey — allegedly for threatening Trump’s life with seashells.“This should be a mournful day for our country,” said Michael Feinberg a former FBI agent and legal pundit, discussing the Trump justice department’s indictment of Comey. “… [W]e just saw a former assistant U.S. attorney … Todd Blanche diminish himself as a human being, as a public servant, and as an American.”“With every action that cuts against every norm of our Constitution and our judicial system that he carries out with vigor, simply to debase himself in front of a president who, if history shows us anything, eventually will cast Blanche aside, too,” said Feinberg to MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace, speaking on the recent ouster of former AG Pam Bondi after she failed to prosecute Trump’s perceived enemies. “Why is he sacrificing his integrity? Is his thirst for power that great. Is his lack of knowledge about Trump’s own history and how he treats his cabinet that great? We’re watching the tragedy of a nation day by day, but also the tragedy of an individual’s life.”Former CIA director John Brennen said the indictment was proof of Blanche’s ongoing bid to make his interim position as DOJ head more permanent.“Todd Blanche clearly is continuing to audition for the nomination to be attorney general, and he was signaling his determination to follow through on Trump’s every wish,” said Blanche. “He was signaling to Trump himself and performing in front of this group. And it’s clear that there’s not one shred of decency left in Todd Blanche.”“Doing this and hurting people in the process is what I find just so, so reprehensible,” Brennen continued. “But it shows the depth of the corruption that has taken root in the executive branch.” – YouTube youtu.be
