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. Let the games begin.

BREAKING: “YOU'RE NOT HIS LAWYER!” Democrat Robert Garcia RIPS Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche for offering Stephen Miller the entire Justice Department as his personal legal defense team! Rep. Robert Garcia fired back at Blanche's astonishing declaration that he and the entire Justice Department would serve as Stephen Miller's lawyers when Democrats begin investigating the incoming White House chief of staff. ““Todd Blanche is not Stephen Miller's lawyer. He's not the lawyer of the president,” Garcia told MS NOW. “At the end of the day, he's the lawyer for the Department of Justice and the people of this country.” Blanche had rushed to Miller's defense on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show after Garcia warned the architect of Trump's brutal immigration crackdown that he should “lawyer up.” “Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me. It's me and the entire Department of Justice,” Blanche declared. And Garcia has another bone to pick with Trump's attorney general. He accused Blanche of lacking the courage to appear before the Oversight Committee, despite months of requests and assurances from Republican Chairman James Comer that he would testify. “What is Todd Blanche afraid of?” Garcia demanded, accusing him of helping lead a White House cover-up involving the Jeffrey Epstein files and abandoning survivors seeking justice. “He doesn't want to answer questions because he's scared to,” Garcia said. The confrontation comes as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress in January and launch investigations into Miller's conduct and the administration's immigration enforcement operations. Blanche may think he can put the entire Justice Department at Miller's disposal, but Garcia has made it clear that the incoming Democratic majority intends to hold both men accountable. And unlike the Republican-led oversight committees in Congress, Democrats aren't going to be satisfied with Blanche's deflection and excuses. Time for leadership, Democrats!
