Comey being indicted bodes badly for the USA.
the left should never have started the lawfare.
It is now in a feedback loop.
They didn't.
Trump and his cronies broke the law, and the law finally caught up with them.
Targeting Comey, however, is lawfare. Trump opened that door, and frankly, I hope the Democrats kick it off its hinges.
Nixon may have dodged prison, but his Attorney-General didn't. There's an entire ecosystem of loyalists running interference for Trump, from Pam Bondi trying to pirouette around the truth under oath in her recent committee appearance, right down to the rank-and-file ICE agents blindly carrying out unlawful directives. The law will catch up with them as well, and rightly so.
Trump was never a "victim". Just because you don't like those you're devoted to facing consequences for their actions, doesn't make them victims.
It just makes you a partisan hack.
Nah.
You need to read Harvey silvergates excellent work" 3 felonies a day"
He points out that US law is so complicated with so many regulations that you can pin 3 felonies on just about anyone.
You're not wrong there, Aquascoot. Harvey was right on the
money.
The average professional wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague.
The average professional eats his breakfast, kisses his wife goodbye, then heads off to work to steal a presidential election.
After he gets to work, he tells the Georgia Secretary of State to find him 11,780 extra votes ("which is one more than we have"), orders the Attorney General to announce evidence of widespread election fraud, fires the Attorney General when he's told that's a crime, sends forged electoral certificates from seven states to be counted in the Senate, threatens the Vice President to declare him the winner, tells a mob armed with tasers, cattle prods and flag poles to march to the Capitol and go wild, watches them doing their job on BREAKING live-streamed TV, throws his lunch on the wall, then returns home with 13,000 classified government records to be stashed in the little wifey's panty drawers, before heading off to bed and to sleep, blissfully unaware.
I mean, look, the law is so complicated, how could anyone possibly know this could all be illegal?
US prosecutors really need to show a little more understanding, no?
