Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche's claims about cases against Trump's enemies show how abnormally law enforcement is operating at the federal level, a legal expert warns. Harry Litman, the former U.S. Attorney General, was alarmed by Blanche's "whoppers" at a press conference on Tuesday, where he defended the "bankrupt and tawdry" indictment against former FBI Director James Comey and insisted the "8647" photo was a threat against Trump's life, Litman wrote in a Wednesday article. "The press conference included a series of lies and half-truths that not long ago would have been stunning to hear from the lips of the nation's highest federal law enforcement officer," Litman argued. "Blanche has quickly reached new lows of lawlessness and shameless servility to the president." Blanche is "preening" so that Trump will promote him from his current "acting" title to the U.S. Attorney General job long-term, Litman suggested. Litman said that cases against Comey and the Southern Poverty Law Center offer "literally no evidence of the core alleged conduct." The DOJ moved forward with the Comey case even though "the department has not proffered a shred of evidence," Litman stressed."Knowing all this for nearly a year, the government, or really Blanche, decided now to bring the charge that surely delighted Trump," Litman said. "I wrote about the SPLC indictment that the absence of any fraudulent statement is a hole you can drive a truck through; the same is true here of the absence of any proof of intent to threaten."
