Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche just made it crystal clear – he’s not here to audition for anything. In a Wednesday interview with CBS, Blanche shut down rumors that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey was some kind of political favor or a backdoor play for the top job at the Department of Justice.
According to The Hill, Comey stands accused of making threats against the president through an Instagram post last year. The post showed seashells arranged to spell out “86-47,” a slang phrase that prosecutors say any “reasonable recipient” would interpret as a serious threat.
