    on charges of making a false statement

    Trump had made no less than 50,000 false statements, so what’s this double-standard?

    More importantly, it seems that Trump, as president, is quite literally going after anyone he doesn’t like. From comedians to former FBI directors.

    Why is this OK?

    Trump: “They’re illegally using the Justice Department to go after me!”

    Also Trump: “Hey guys, I want you to go after my enemies!”

    This is practically textbook malicious prosecution. The social media post by Trump and the statute of limitations being only days away at the time of indictment make me expect any non-MAGA federal judge to toss this case immediately. The defendant has such a good affirmative defense that this going to trial would be an embarrassment to the court.

        Our courts don’t work that quickly, but probably the initial hearings will be the defense asking for dismissal with prejudice and the prosecutor having to explain why this isn’t actually exactly what everyone knows it is.

        Unless it goes to Cannon’s court, in which case Comey will get the death penalty.

      Absolutely. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

      Enjoy the consequences of your own actions, idiot.

    I’m a little bit surprised that a grand jury indicted him on such flimsy evidence, but at the same time, fuck all these MAGA enablers. Comey was instrumental in getting Trump elected in 2016 and he deserves Trump’s wrath.

    Partisan hack worked to influence the election with announcement on reopening the buttery males probe just before the election. I will be eating popcorn (sans butter) while I watch the leopards attempt to eat his face.

    I’d love to know how this Grand Jury was picked. And I’d love to see what was presented to them. (I don’t need to hear their actual deliberations.)
