    The president is committing war crimes and the FBI is charging the former FBI director over an insta post from a year ago, clearly suggesting impeachment.

      So the DOJ is hoping that nobody on the jury knows that 86 means to give someone the bum’s rush, not to kill them.

      Even then, if it were a threat, which it isn’t, it’s in no way actionable.

      Yes, but it is intended as harassment, not “justice”.

      He still needs a lawyer, he can’t just ignore it.

    So glad these clowns took the high road and didn’t push to prosecute a fucking insurrection. So glad the FBI was complicit in these honey pots with epstein and that they didn’t push to prosecute or leak anything while the orange clown was running for POTUS.

    Really, top tier work sticking to your principles at the cost of our fragile democracy.

    To me, this is the guy that did a dirty to Hillary a week before her election with trump, but now he’s trump’s enemy?

      He “seemed” to pretty quickly regret whatever role he might have played in trump winning. Comey was always trying to maintain a low profile after trump got sworn in and didn’t really try to buddy up to him or take advantage of it like one would expect.

      Even if it wasn’t, it’s like the most open and shut case for innocence. All he has to say is “I thought it meant that Trump should be impeached.”

      Obviously it would be super worrisome if we even get to that stage, but this is retarded and such a waste of time.

        Even if it ment he should be killed. That standard would be applied right back to trump. Trump has called for far worse explicitly violent things to happen to others. The president isn’t above the law. And I hate Comey. Dude is a racist and spearheaded many FBI task forces that attacked minorities and left wing communities. But the 8647 narrative is so laughable.

    “86” just means to toss them out of the establishment (like restaurant or whitehouse). If it was “187 47” then there might be something to bite into, otherwise it’s just a nothing burger only existing for the further distraction from the trump/epstein files and the realization that your dear leader is nothing more than a self-serving pedophile.

      I’m no expert but wasn’t he just following the law? As i remember correctly some FBI field office fucked up and they found new evidence to be analysed that has been disapeared, draging the whole process. He had no other choice than to inform the public that the investigation against Hillary was reopened.

        I think it was a discretionary move, and an unusual one at that. Normally, the FBI does not comment on pending investigations of public officers at all. This is doubly the case near an election, to avoid the appearance of favoritism and impropriety.

        In 2016, rumor was that the (allegedly highly pro-Trump) Manhattan office of the FBI was going to announce that the email investigation had been reopened. It would have been for political reasons, but that seemed to have been part of the calculus.

        Comey then decided to come out and make the statement himself, making the Manhattan office’s parallel move redundant. At the time, it was thought that he (a) believed that Clinton would win, anyway, and (b) thought the move would give him credentials for future office when the Republicans were back in power.

    And they’re only getting to this now because they were spending time going after all of those rednecks with the lifelike “Biden tied up in the back of my truck” tailgate stickers, right?

      No? You’re allowed to do that from a legal perspective, if everyone hates you or you lose your job or something that’s just social repercussions but the federal government isn’t pursuing legal charges over it.

      I’ve seen that, plus a couple bumper stickers saying “FUCK Joe and the Hoe” where FUCK is spelled out jn the silhouette of rifles and handguns.
