James Comey played the victim card in fighting his indictment on charges of misleading Congress, but that strategy boomeranged when prosecutors and his old agency released an avalanche of new evidence showing the ex-FBI director hoped to please Hillary Clinton, cheered on media leaks he claimed he did not sanction, and wrote emails and notes that directly conflict with his past congressional testimony.
Part of that unflattering portrait of Comey, prosecutors revealed Monday, came from long-hidden files that the new FBI Director Kash Patel found in burn bags and secret storage rooms at the bureau’s headquarters.
The evidence included [see here] proof that Comey used a private email account to conduct FBI matters — including media strategy with a top lieutenant — at the same time his agency probed Clinton for improperly using her own private email for government business.
“Perhaps you can make him smarter,” Comey wrote in one such email to FBI special government employee Daniel Richman in which the two discussed trying to influence a New York Times reporter about his coverage of the Clinton email scandal.
Prosecutors made clear such evidence will be used to try to show at trial that Comey misled Congress when he denied authorizing staff to anonymously leak or talk to reporters.
They need to find some angle to move the venue to Florida.
Comey needs a rope and a really tall tree.
Hemp rope for the environmentist crowd to be placated and a very mature palm tree should suffice in the height requirements. It could be a festive atmosphere by the beach.
L – If the trial is moved to Florida, that gives the judge, upon conviction of the guilty as sin accused, a sentencing option: walking the plank into a swamp full of hungry alligators.
Perhaps, too much of my misspent youth was spent reading or watching tales of swashbuckling…?
Alligators won’t eat him out of professional courtesy.
More fear of being poisoned, I would think. ~:D
Should we expect to read “the walls are closing in” on Comey articles in WaPo, NYT, USA Today, AP, Time, Newsweek, MSM, Yahoo…?
Eventually Comey is going to have to take the stand at his defense trial… and like all the others before him he’ll go with the “I don’t recall” defense, and I’m fully expecting the prosecution to use the line “perhaps this will make you smarter” while outlining the next framed query …
meanwhile in the court seating, John Solomon will be chuckling out loud and not even trying to hide it.
Always enjoy when he’s brought on to The War Room™️ to make some legal points.
They need to find some angle to move the venue to TEXAS!
initially looks like the likes of comey so accustomed to stating what fit the moment, it just flowed regularly esp given he got away with ALL of it back then. but they festered and grew ugly and mean and now these hatchlings are growing up ready to consume their maker. so. be. it. nature seeks equilibriums.
Eventually he’ll go to a circle in Hell.
Maybe a worse one than Cheney’s?
I know he’s guilty, you know he’s guilty, the judge will know he’s guilty.
He’ll serve no time, and might have to pay a small fine, say $100 for ethics violations.
I sure hope the trial is televised … wherever it it’s held.
He will never see the inside of a prison cell. The Deep State is too entrenched
