Acting AG Blanche Fires Back at Obama’s DOJ Criticism

Prosecutors argue “86” is commonly understood slang meaning “to eliminate” or “get rid of.”

“Article Two says, ‘the executive power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America,’” Blanche said while holding a pocket copy of the Constitution during the interview. “It does not say that the Attorney General stands off to the side.”

Blanche defended the case, arguing threats against the president must be treated seriously given recent assassination attempts and escalating political extremism.
