About this episode

Todd Blanche attempts to defend the Justice Department's indictment of James Comey on 'Meet the Press', but his arguments face significant scrutiny.

On ‘Meet the Press’, Todd Blanche, Trump’s Acting Attorney General, tries to defend the Justice Department’s indictment of James Comey, but the explanation doesn’t hold up particularly well under scrutiny. Sam Stein and Will Saletan take on the flimsy argument, the timeline, and why the case is drawing skepticism, not just from critics but with Republicans as well.
