Former FBI Director James Comey tells NBC News that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche should “bone up” on the legal rules while facing federal proceedings tied to Comey’s own indictment. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Comey comments after Blanche referenced 11 months of evidence in the Department of Justice’s indictment of Comey. Across the coverage, Comey says he does not discuss details of the case publicly because court rules restrict what he can say. He therefore directs his remarks toward the acting attorney general’s familiarity with legal procedures rather than the merits of the prosecution. In the NBC and The Hill reports, Comey’s main message is that Blanche should review the applicable rules and be mindful of the legal framework surrounding the case. Breitbart similarly reports Comey urging Blanche to stop talking about his indictment and focus on the legal requirements, presenting the comments as advice on how the case is handled. The outlets agree on the substance of Comey’s remarks and the context of Blanche’s statement about the indictment’s evidence timeline.
