Everybody, it's me, Sam Stein, managing editor at the Bullwork.

I'm here with Will Salton to discuss the Sunday shows. We watched them. We lived them. We laughed. We cried. Will, how you doing, man? You good? I'm sore, man. I tried to play basketball this morning and my back was out. I'm still waiting for my invite, but that's a topic for another YouTube. The main on the Sunday shows today, I thought was Todd Blanche, the interim

attorney general, clearly wants to be the permanent attorney general.

He's gone forward with a number of very dubious prosecutions that seem to be stagnant

that he's picked up and run really hard with.

Among them is James Comey.

And so Todd Blanche was on Meet the Press this morning. He was pressed by the host, Kristen Welker, about this and a bunch of other things. Before we get into the clips, like what was your main takeaway about Blanche? I just felt, I don't know if I should feel sorry for the guy.

No, you should not. So, you know, until this moment, I wasn't sure how corrupt Todd Blanche was. I mean,

he was Trump's personal lawyer. He gets put in this job. But he seems like a relatively honest person by the standards of the Trump administration, which is a low bar.

This, the prosecution of Comey over the Seashells thing and his, and Blanche's defense of it,

shows me that Blanche has no integrity whatsoever. He completely exposed himself. Well, it's also, it's like here's a guy who knows that he

has one directive if he wants to keep his job and that's to do this and he's got to go out and

defend it. And that's not to apologize for him. That's actually a criticism of him because he could just resign. It's such this prosecution. You talk to anyone in the legal profession and they're like, they're not incredulous. They're laughing at how bad this prosecution is. So do you want just play the, let's play the thing. Yeah, let's start because it's really good. All right. Let's play the first clip. This is Walker pressing him on the seashell prosecution, folks, if you don't know.

James Comey, like 11 months ago, took a picture of seashells on a seashore in North Carolina.

It said 86, 47.

And he's like, oh, look at this thing I stumbled upon.

And there was like a weird upbore because people, you know,

in the conservative movement, pretended like he was threatening to kill Trump when he wasn't.

He took it down, said he didn't realize that people would interpret it that way,

which they shouldn't have.

And then 11 months later, he's prosecuted for it.

So Blanche has asked about this, and this is what he has to say.
