A planned hit: DOJ sources say Blanche swore a 'perp-walk' for Comey before charging him

Investigative journalist Carol D. Leonnig said interim AG director and Trump personal attorney Todd Blanche told his lieutenants that he was brewing up a ‘perp-walk’ for James Comey before doing it, according to anonymous sources inside the Department of Justice.

“Well, how convenient for me that you would ask that question,” Leonnig told MS NOW anchors when asked if Blanche’s indictment of the former FBI head Comey was meant to be proof that “he can be thr AG that President Donald Trump wants.

“I was on the phone with some sources who said that Blanche has been telling many of his senior aides inside the Department of Justice that he is not happy with having been blamed as not creating a perp walk for James Comey the last time around and is not going to make that mistake again this time,” Leonnig said.

The former Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post reporter went on to say that people inside the administration “who are still trying to keep the deck swabbed and not violate the law every other day” told her that the Comey indictment, along with the department’s arrest for alleged FOIA obfuscation of a Fauci aide is all “part of a hard-core overdrive audition.”

“[It’s] a desire by Todd Blanche to quickly ensure that he's no longer acting, and that he doesn't make the mistake of irritating the audience-of-one in the way that [former AG Pam] Bondi did.”

Leonnig went on to point out that Bondi failed Trump when she failed to land prosecutions before grand juries and judges.

“She tried to prosecute a gobsmacking number of people for whom career prosecutors found … zero evidence of crimes, no predication, no reason to go forward. But she didn't push as hard when prosecutors said ‘no,’” Leonnig said. “She didn't replace them as quickly as Donald Trump would have liked, and she didn't force them to redo it as they’re redoing it now with James Comey — about an Instagram post of some shells.”
