"You prove intent like you always prove intent, Blanche replied. You prove intent with witnesses, you prove intent with documents, with materials. So again, this is not just about a single Instagram post."
"If the only facts that existed was the posting of the Instagram, obviously that wouldn't have taken 11 months. And so when Mr. Turley talks about whether it's facially unconstitutional absent unknown facts or circumstances, we will necessarily have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, at trial, every element of this crime which we're prepared to do."
Kristen Welker questioned Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche about the indictment of James Comey, focusing on the burden of proof regarding intent. Blanche stated that intent is proven through witnesses and documents, emphasizing that the grand jury, not the Department of Justice, returned the indictment. He defended the lengthy investigation, asserting that it involved more than just an Instagram post. Welker raised concerns about the indictment's constitutionality, prompting Blanche to affirm their readiness to prove the case at trial beyond a reasonable doubt.
