Dan Bongino Warns Obama After DOJ Comments Spark Firestorm

In an interview with CBS News, Blanche described Democratic criticism of the administration’s prosecutions as “extraordinarily rich,” arguing that Trump himself faced years of investigations and criminal prosecutions under the Biden administration.

“We are absolutely doing nothing but what we should be doing at the Department of Justice,” Blanche said.

Blanche defended the administration’s authority under Article II of the Constitution, arguing that executive power is vested in the president and that the White House is entitled to direct policy priorities within the Justice Department.

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