Description
I had to run this one back. On CNN’s State of the Union, Dana Bash asked Attorney General Todd Blanche how the DOJ going after Trump’s “perceived enemies” without success, from James Comey to Letitia James to a former Olympian, is any less egregious than what Democrats are threatening. Blanche: “You selectively talked about three cases… as opposed to the thousands and thousands of cases this Department of Justice has brought.”
Here’s what CNN didn’t mention. Federal prosecutors filed 10,093 new criminal prosecutions in March 2026 alone, up 19.1% from a year earlier (TRAC). The FBI says the 2025 murder rate, 4.1 per 100,000, is tied with 1955 and 1956 for the lowest since 1936, and murder is down another 23% in the first half of 2026. The Olympian case was dropped by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s own office once the evidence pointed to the contractor. And Democrats brought four cases and 91 felony counts against Trump, with Letitia James campaigning in 2018 on challenging “this illegitimate president.”
Three cases or the whole record? Tell me in the comments, and if you read this far, comment THOUSANDS.
