Democratic Senator Discusses Strategy to Push Hard Against Comey Indictment

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.”
