The incompetent and inexperienced prosecutor will have to prove it was someone employed by the FBI at that time.

You let us all know how that works out, lee

Never was a Comey fan, but I am a fan of the rule of law.

If he's done something wrong, he should be held accountable.

The prosecutor has stumbled at the very first hurdle - it'll be interesting to see how she tries to recover.

Everything I've stated is a fact - deal with it, or don't.

The indictment is specific - it says "someone else at the FBI".

In the video, Comey does not say "someone else at the FBI".

The prosecutor will have to prove that he "authorised someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports", or the case will be lost.

These are facts, not my opinion.

I'm sorry that you don't understand how the law works, but you're going to have to deal with it.

Anyway, let us all know how the prosecutor goes the next time she presents this case in court.

Cheers.

U.S. — Democrats sounded the alarm over Trump's prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, warning that the prosecution of political opponents could set a dangerous precedent for America's democracy.

"We're entering uncharted waters here," said Senator Corey Booker while waving his arms wildly and popping his eyes out to demonstrate how dangerous and uncharted the waters were. "If Trump can maliciously prosecute James Comey, where does it end? Just imagine what could happen! We've never seen anything like this!"

Democrats and other experts claimed that if Trump opens this door, it could lead to malicious and frivolous "lawfare" that could end in political appointees arrested and prosecuted for obscure technicalities before being marched in front of cameras to have their mugshots taken. "Just imagine if that happened in America," said Booker. "I shudder to think."

Democrats were also promising that when they get back in power, they will retaliate by prosecuting Republicans. Republicans responded that if Democrats prosecute Republicans, they will retaliate by prosecuting Democrats when Republicans take power again. Democrats then responded by saying that if they prosecute Republicans, and Republicans retaliate by prosecuting Democrats, they will then retaliate back by once again prosecuting Republicans.

At publishing time, Republicans had responded by promising to retaliate again by prosecuting Democrats.

People forget that just before the 2016 election Comey announced the new investigation into Hillary while at the same time kept the well predicated investigation into Trump secret.

People went into the 2016 election aware of the Hillary FBI investigation and unaware of the Trump FBI investigation.

Comey a life long respected republican became public enemy number 1 after protecting Trump's 2016 election chances while improperly throwing Hillary under the bus on charges that had been thrown out about 5 times previously and yes thrown out this time as well.

Some duty, dear. Comey's a lifelong Republican.

DL's a former Democrat.

Shurely shome mishtake, eh?

Exactly.

Even if that's what the indictment was about, it doesn't actually change a thing.

The diehard loyalist running the department, who couldn't find a single subordinate willing to torch their career and bar membership to file these charges because the case is paper-thin, is an insurance lawyer, not even a prosecutor. And yet this amateur is expected to carry the whole thing through?

It's just another case of "merit" in Trump world meaning blind obedience, not actual skill or qualification. And this is the person the entire case rests on.

Good luck with that.

I suppose when a Trump-appointed judge inevitably bins this farce, you'll still be shrieking about a Democrat conspiracy?

That's assuming the case will make it through the courts before her 120 days as interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia expires.

I suspect, as with most things Trump, all he wanted is the current headline.  Look at how his brain dead supporters have gobbled it up.  I don't expect this to go anywhere, much like with most of his announcements.

Big celebration, showing the signature on the executive order, then say the Wall never gets built.  Pats on the back all around, victory laps, before anything is actually done and since he got his applause already, there is no point in following through and it gets quietly dropped.

We've seen it time and time again.

In 3 months time, there'll be some other distraction and MAGA will be instructed to forget about this, just like the Epstein files.
