Dan Bongino Warns Obama After DOJ Comments Spark Firestorm

Blanche defended the administration’s authority under Article II of the Constitution, arguing that executive power is vested in the president and that the White House is entitled to direct policy priorities within the Justice Department.

“Article Two says, ‘the executive power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America.’ It does not say that the Attorney General stands off to the side,” Blanche said while holding up a copy of the Constitution during the interview.

The Justice Department has faced mounting scrutiny following a series of aggressive investigations into Trump opponents and former officials.

Comey was recently indicted in North Carolina over a 2025 social media post showing seashells arranged to read “86 47,” which prosecutors allege constituted a threat against Trump, the 47th president. Comey has denied intending violence and said he removed the post after realizing some interpreted it as threatening.
