    Blanche defended the indictment when asked if anyone who posted the numbers “8647” would face charges.

    People. You know what to do.

    It will be interesting to see what the court makes out of this whole nonsense.

      Will it? Real hard for me to give a shit about what happens to James “Ferguson Effect” Comey (arc). Like, even if that shitbag gets off again, there are tens of thousands of human being who are still going to be in ICE concentration camps the next day, but most of their names probably won’t get headline treatment anywhere.

        Granted, this is a leopardsatemyface trial, but it’s still important because it’s a high-profile indication of trump’s DOJ weaponization against his enemies.

          It is. But alsointeresting in that Comey considers himself, as he believes law should be, outside of politics. Not that he doesn’t see what a shitstorm he created, or that he doesn’t have opinions, just that in his worldview, the law is the law, facts are facts, and that’s how it’s supposed to work.

          By itself that’s not the worst thing in the world. But since that’s just not the casein the grand scheme of things, he was tricked into kneecapping Clinton’s campaign, ate a bucket of shit under trump, was illegally fired for trying to find out who in russia was paying for his presidency, and is now having to show up in court to answer charges that he was mean to a demented rapist sociopath.

          It’s kind of funny. If he had just inhaled he might not have been in this position.

          Which was highly, highly predictable and makes me wonder why people like Comey didn’t go after him harder. Shit- even Biden had the foresight to pardon Hunter. Doesn’t seem so crazy now…

            Yeah, I don’t feel bad for comey getting bit, he should have known what Trump was about long before he decided to try to swing the election in 2016. I don’t know how anyone could have trusted Trump even back then before this last decade.

              We can’t talk about the 2016 election without talking about how it never should have been that close to begin with and how the Dems ended up with such a terrible candidate, tho

              Regardless of that, the stupid shit he said about BLM and the years of work he put into preventing law enforcement from being held accountable makes me wish the media would just stop talking about him and focus on people like Fauci’s aide who got arrested recently or all the people in immigration detention

    Can’t wait to see the prosecution try to maintain a stern look of disgust as they wheel out a cart covered in sand and seashells, labeled “Exhibit A.”

    They don’t care what happens after this. The indictment shows their “power” to their base who see this as Comey now coming to justice. They’ll never know when it goes nowhere.
