(DCNF)—Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal vowed on MSNBC Thursday to push back aggressively against the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted Comey on two of three counts Thursday. In an appearance on “The Weeknight,” the senator said he’ll fight “hard” on the Senate floor, in judiciary committee meetings, and in every available venue.
“My colleagues have to draw a line. My Republican colleagues have to grow a spine here. For a decade, I have been waiting time after time, the Mueller Report, the impeachment trial, again and again, for Republicans to say it is a bridge too far,” Blumenthal said. “And, in effect, to say, we need to reserve basic norms, essential rules that protect all of us. And the old saying, what comes around, goes around. Today it’s a Republican president, but degrading the democracy and ruining, literally perverting the great ethos and tradition of the Department of Justice.”
Blumenthal said it is time for Republicans to “say enough is enough.”
“We are going to push them [Republicans] and do it hard on the Senate floor privately, in the judiciary committee meetings, every moment, every opportunity,” Blumenthal added. “But let me say also, the private bar has a real responsibility here. The lawyers who cut a deal with Donald Trump to do his pro bono work, who, in effect, bended knee to him, they ought to be saying enough is enough.”
Blumenthal accused top law firms of bowing to pressure from President Donald Trump, warning they may be complicit in illegal actions tied to the Commerce Department.
“Your deal, President Trump, is worth what you paid us for. He paid nothing. He cowed them and pressured and bullied them into those deals. The biggest law firms, most prosperous and lucrative in the country, Paul Weiss, Kirkland and Ellis, are now working for the Commerce Department in a way that may be illegal,” Blumenthal said. “They are accomplices, potentially, to illegal action. That’s why we’ve written those firms, asking and demanding answers to questions. But the private bar should be rising up. And, hopefully also, there are some lawyers in the Department of Justice who are as conscious-stricken as Erik Siebert.”
Early reports on Wednesday indicated the DOJ was preparing to seek a grand jury indictment against Comey for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020. The development followed a CIA memo in July revealing that Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan were under criminal investigation for their roles promoting the Steele Dossier while testifying before Congress.
The memo directly contradicts Comey’s and Brennan’s sworn claims that the Steele Dossier played no role in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. The review found that Brennan pushed to include the dossier — compiled by ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded through Hillary Clinton’s campaign — into the assessment.

The administration has finally grown a spine and going after the criminals with real evidence. After Charlie Kirk was killed the hounds have been let loose. And they will come back with mouthfuls of flesh as there is plenty to go around. Lets see how many the hounds bring in. I’m guessing this is going to be a literal political bloodbath come the next few weeks. Pop your popcorn kids.
