"Look at the indictment! That's not for me to decide, that's for the American people to decide, and if you think if anybody in this country thinks, especially given what happened over the past couple years with respect to President Trump, that it is okay for anybody to threaten the president of the United States, that it is okay to threaten the president of the United States and then have the media or others say, Well, that's not serious, then we have a bigger problem than I even imagined in this country."
"Of course it's serious when you threaten the president of the United States, and anybody that tries to put forward some narrative that this is just about seashells or something to the contrary is missing the point."
"You cannot threaten the president of the United States. That's not my decision, that's Congress' decision in a law that they passed, and so yes, of course this is a serious case."
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche affirmed the seriousness of the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly threatening President Trump. During an interview, Blanche emphasized that threatening the president is a serious matter and should not be trivialized. He stated that the decision on the case's seriousness lies with the American people, not him. Blanche criticized any narrative downplaying the threat, asserting that it is a significant issue that reflects broader problems in society regarding respect for the presidency.
