Democrats aren’t waiting until 2028 to start targeting Trump administration officials.
Now a former FBI agent just went on television and threatened the sitting Attorney General by name.
And the weapon he pointed at Todd Blanche is one no presidential pardon can stop.
The Threat Against Todd Blanche on MS NOW
Michael Feinberg, a former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge, appeared on MS NOW this week and delivered a warning to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
"Todd Blanche should remember that John Eastman, the intellectual architect of Donald Trump's first attempt to carry out an electoral coup, was recently disbarred," Feinberg said.
"So Todd Blanche should watch his step."
A former federal law enforcement official used a nationally televised platform to warn the sitting Attorney General of the United States that professional destruction is coming if he keeps doing his job.
Feinberg's statement came one week after Blanche personally announced Comey's indictment on two felony counts – knowingly threatening the life of the President of the United States and transmitting that threat in interstate commerce.
The indictment stems from Comey's now-deleted Instagram post of seashells arranged to read "86 47" – which the DOJ argued any reasonable person would interpret as a call for harm against the 47th president.
Blanche pushed prosecutors to pursue the case after Pam Bondi had shelved it.
How Disbarment Becomes the Weapon Pardons Cannot Stop
Feinberg acknowledged Trump would likely issue blanket pardons to everyone in the Executive Branch.
But pardons do not touch bar associations.
"Professional consequences" – that was his phrase.
The Federalist's Hans Mahncke traced the pattern back to 2016 – from the targeting of Trump campaign associates to the systematic professional destruction of lawyers whose only offense was taking Trump as a client.
Rudy Giuliani – disbarred.
John Eastman – disbarred by the California Supreme Court last month, ordered to pay $5,000 in sanctions, with his attorneys now seeking U.S. Supreme Court review on First Amendment grounds.
Jeff Clark – targeted. Ed Martin – targeted.
Sidney Powell – fought her disbarment and won, but not before absorbing years of financial and personal destruction.
Bar discipline has always existed for lawyers who steal from clients or commit fraud.
Not one of these lawyers was accused of either.
Their offense was representing Donald Trump.
Pritzker's Project 2029 Names the Target
The threat on MS NOW did not happen in a vacuum.
In March, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker – widely viewed as a 2028 presidential frontrunner – outlined "Project 2029" in an interview with The New York Times.
The plan: criminal and civil prosecution of Trump administration officials once Democrats return to power.
Pritzker did not cite specific crimes committed by Trump officials.
He didn’t need to.
Bar associations run entirely outside presidential pardon power, and they are controlled in most states by the same institutions that went after Eastman, Giuliani, and Clark.
Former DOJ official Jeff Clark – who had Biden's FBI show up at his door – heard Feinberg's threat and responded directly.
"Something has to be done about these out-of-control state and local bars – and the Deep State weaponizers trying to chill conservative lawyering, even at DOJ," Clark said.
What Republicans Are Missing
Conservatives are celebrating the Comey indictment this week.
But while they celebrate, the other side is announcing the next cycle out loud.
The Feinberg threat is a preview.
Blanche pushed the Comey prosecution through.
Kash Patel rebuilt the FBI.
Every DOJ official who signed an indictment, every lawyer who defended Trump's executive orders, every AG who prosecuted a Democrat – they all carry bar licenses in states where the Left controls the disciplinary process.
Pardons expire when administrations end.
Bar complaints do not.
The machine that destroyed Giuliani, disbarred Eastman, and nearly destroyed Sidney Powell was never dismantled.
It is waiting for a different governor's mansion, a different state legislature, a different bar association president.
Feinberg just told America it’s running.
Nobody in Washington should pretend they were not warned.
