EXCERPT:
On Sunday, Attorney General Todd Blanche walked into CNN, sort of a media lion’s den for Republicans. He appeared on CNN’s State of the Union, with host Dana Bash, wherein he agreed that, yes, there could be some investigations by the Attorney General’s office into statements made by certain Democrats, most notably those in the House Oversight committee.
Attorney General Todd Blanche says “there could be” investigations after Trump orders the Justice Department to “look into” Democratic lawmakers conducting oversight into the Trump Administration. https://t.co/bHjM96njdm

Here’s that conversation:
Dana Bash: President Trump said — quote — “I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act” — end quote. Are you going to follow that order and investigate Democratic members of Congress? And what is the criminal act you think he’s referring to?
Todd Blanche, U.S. Attorney General: Well, what we have seen over the past several days and even over the past several weeks are outright threats, many — many by elected members of Congress and some senators against anybody that’s conservative and anybody that happens to be a Republican. They have threatened donors. They have threatened individuals who are in college and might want to work for conservative institutions or for a conservative government or for President Trump. And that is extremely troubling, and it should be troubling to everybody in this country. And over the last several days, we have seen the rhetoric even rise up, to the point where they’re already — before they’re even in power, they’re already talking about investigations and impeachments, with no basis, no facts, just out there running around. That should be something that President Trump is very concerned about, and certainly I am as well.
