'Watch your step': Former FBI official warns Blanche is in legal peril

Blanche is pulling out all stops to win trump's approval and to become the AG. Blanche is going to be impeached

While following Trump’s will, however, Feinberg said Blanche is setting himself up for legal repercussions when the aging president is inevitably out of power.

“This [prosecution] has nothing to do with unbiased prosecution of law enforcement priorities,” said Feinberg. “This is about silencing a presidential critic, and it's worth noting that … it’s not just potential legal ramifications for the people involved in this.”

“I have no doubt that Trump is going to issue a blanket pardon for every single person in the executive branch, but there are professional consequences,” Feinberg told hosts of MS NOW’s “The Weekend.” “Todd Blanche should remember that John Eastman, the intellectual architect of Donald Trump's … first attempt to carry out a electoral coup was recently disbarred, and the appeal of his disbarment was denied. So, Todd Blanche should watch his step.”

Miles Taylor, who served as DHS deputy chief of staff and senior advisor in Trump’s first term, warned that Blanche and his henchmen should definitely watch for legal prosecution in the wake of Trump’s removal.

“What they should be worried about is whether any of them engaged in criminal conduct to bring these charges,” said Taylor. “I'm as serious as a heart attack about the deprivation of rights, selective, vindictive prosecution. These are things that are illegal and unconstitutional. When Todd Blanch basically conceded that this thing went from the back burner to the front burner when he came back into office, was that an admission that he wanted to bring a case that the president requested?”

Taylor went on to question whether Trump had already made the case for selective, vindictive prosecution “on September 20, at 6:44 P.M., when he tweeted to [former AG] Pam Bondi, that “I need you to prosecute [Comey].”
