Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, who infamously lied about serving in Vietnam, is going all-in as a radical activist on behalf of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, who was just indicted by President Trump’s Department of Justice.
The very same Blumenthal who gleefully celebrated when Joe Biden’s weaponized DOJ tried to throw President Trump behind bars for the rest of his natural life is suddenly clutching his pearls over “malicious prosecution.”

During his CNN appearance with Erin Burnett, Blumenthal openly bragged about his plans to interfere with the DOJ’s case against Comey.
Blumenthal admitted that Senate Democrats are drafting legislation to give “remedies and rights” to political operatives like Comey who face prosecution, claiming America is on the “way to tyranny” because Trump’s DOJ dared to indict a Democrat’s ally.
Erin Burnett:
I want to ask you, in this context, what can you do right now as a Democratic senator about this?
Blumenthal:
“I can ask questions of the Department of Justice, which we will do. We can support colleagues and others on the Republican side who may be inclined—I hope they will be—to draw a line here and protest. Obviously, I have no role in court. I was a prosecutor for four and a half years as U.S. attorney in Connecticut. I also was attorney general for 20 years.The most consequential decisions I made were whether to charge someone, because nobody ever fully recovers from those charges. A lot of people believe that an acquittal just means there was some technical issue.
I think it’s important to encourage the private bar to step up. Donald Trump made deals with a number of the major law firms in the country. They’ve got to rip them apart and say, enough is enough.
I would encourage attorneys in the Department of Justice to stand up for their conviction and conscience, as Eric Siebert did. He’s the U.S. attorney who resigned rather than bring those charges.
As a member of the United States Senate, I’m going to go to the floor of the Senate, I’m going to go to committee meetings, I’m going to speak privately, I’m going to protest, and I am going to seek legislation—we’re formulating it right now—that may well prevent some of this perversion of justice.
We are writing legislation that will give remedies and rights to people who are victims of malicious prosecution. We have to provide safeguards, because we’ve clearly seen how the ordinary norms are defined by this autocratic president. We’re on the way to tyranny if we’re permitted to go forward.”
WATCH:
WOW! It gets even better. Blumenthal is going FULL ACTIVIST on behalf of Comey.
