"The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn't just look at the Instagram post and walk away," Blanche says.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond his "8647" Instagram post about President Trump.

"Rest assured that it's not just the Instagram post that leads somebody to get indicted," Blanche said on "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

"The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn't just look at the Instagram post and walk away," he added.

Blanche declined to elaborate on the matter.

"So I am not permitted to get into the details of what the grand jury heard or found," he said.

It probably does entail a great deal more than just the details of Comey creating and posting the shell design because there’s the issue of intent. The question is whether Comey created the design and posted it in the of course of and with the intent to induce an unstable person to attempt to assassinate President Trump. Proving that intent could entail a lot, especially Comey’s falsification of several FISA applications and general involvement is the whole Russiagate conspiracy to frame Donald Trump for treason. All of those show a bitter hatred for Trump which could have easily motivated Comey to create the “86 47” writing and post it on the internet, especially because two priior assasination attempts had failed.

Probably emails about wanting Trump d3ad.

Also after his 8647 he probably has messages to people talking about it. Could be something as simple as “I wonder if anyone will take this advice...I hope so”.

He took the photo and probably shared it with close friends via text or messaging app. All those comments would be pretty eye opening.

Comey’s trial could well turn into a mini-Russiagate trial, given the issue of intent.

She shouldn’t have said anything other than they have a case that is in the process of being heard or handled. Anything else can be interpreted and harmed by the press based upon their evaluation of her words. They have done it before putting words in people’s mouths.

Comey’s 8647 stunt is going to really backfire on him and others.

It is part of n ongoing seditious conspiracy to overthrow the Trump presidency that has been going on for over a decade

Todd Blanche seems to be a “serious” person. Unlike FAKE Pam Bondi.

Blanche, as much as a deep stater as some Freepers believe he is, has done much more in 1.5 months than Blondi in 1.5 years.
All the Bondi apologists, and there are many of them here, always finding stupid excuses for her to do nothing, should be ratted out for the conmen they are.
