Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche went on some of the Sunday news shows and undercut the very case he brought against one of Donald Trump's perceived enemies, former FBI Director James Comey. You know the one: Comey snapped a picture of some seashells that had been arranged into the numbers 86 47, and posted it on Instagram with a cute caption like, 'a cool seashell arrangement I just saw.'

Blanche claims that Comey's IG post threatened the life of the president.

Glenn discusses how Blanches public statements undercut the Comey prosecution, and support motions to dismiss the prosecution for both selective and vindictive prosecution.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth completely embarrassed himself during his congressional testimony with laughably transparent, inconsistent statements about the need to have launched a war against Iran.

As our friends to the north - the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - put it in their headline: "Hegseth accused of lying to the American public about war in Iran during intense congressional hearing."

This podcast discusses the absurd inconsistency of Hegseth saying the United State "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear program and capabilities with US strikes in 2025, but then saying we had to go to war 60 days ago because the nuclear threat Iran posed to the US was "imminent."

Donald Trump's dirty DOJ leadership has not only decimated the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, but they've actually weaponized that division to PERPETRATE civil rights abuses.

The Civil Rights Division is vindictively investigating former Trump administration official Cassidy Hutchinson, who bravely testified before the January 6 House select committee that investigated the attack on the US Capitol.

Glenn sat down with Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, and Reagan Rush, a former DOJ attorney who served in the Civil Rights Division for more than 15 years representing the interest of the American people.

They talk about Donald Trump's attack on the Civil Rights Division, and his attempts to weaponize that storied division against his perceived enemies.

The lawlessness of Donald Trump's Department of Justice continues, unbated. The DOJ just vindictively indicted James Comey, again!

Recall that a federal judge threw out the last indictment against Comey. As ABC News reported: "James Comey indicted again, this time over seashell Instagram post. Trump claimed the "86 47" written in seashells was an assassination threat."

This indictment is also destined to be thrown out, for two reasons. First and foremost: James Comey committed no crime. Second, James Comey has a due process right against being vindictively prosecuted.

To prove he committed no crime, James Comey could call as his first witness at trial . . . the dictionary.

This from the Merriam Webster dictionary:

"86 is slang meaning to throw out, to get rid of, or to refuse service too. It comes from the 1930s soda counter slang, meaning that an item was sold out .

The other thing likely motivating this indictment is that Pam Bondi got fired, and the prevailing wisdom is because she didn't successfully prosecute any of Donald Trump's perceived enemies. So this looks like Todd Blanche's desperate attempt to keep his job as acting Attorney General by prosecuting Trump's perceived enemies.

Today - Glenn chats about this with his good friend from MSNBC- Katie Phang.

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro has announced she's closing the criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. But she also announced that she can reopen it in the future.

Given that Republican Senator Thom Tills has announced that he will not confirm Trump's replacement for Powell until the DOJ's investigation of Powell has concluded, this seems like a transparent and cynical ploy by Trump and Pirro to placate Sen. Tillis.
