“An extremely absurd case requires extreme measures, so the #Comey case grand jury is under the supervision of Fort Pierce, #Florida U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, the same pro- #Trump zealot who 86’ed the open-and-shut case around the president’s taking of highly classified documents.”

Haha - looks now like the vindictive fascist attempt to persecute #Comey is elevating #8647now into a rallying cry for resistance in a delicious #StreisandEffect demonstration.

Comey sells seashells by the seashore,
The shells Comey sells are seashells, I’m sure.
So if Comey sells seashells on the seashore,

#MafiaDon is claiming "86" is a "Mob Term for 'Kill him'." 🙄
I graduated from High School is '86, and even back then we joked that it meant it was a year that we would hope to forget.
No one associated "86" with murder or killing. It's a restaurant term meaning to "cancel an order".
Coming from someone like T**** who threatens violence on a daily basis, listening to him whine about imaginary death threats is exasperating. 🤦♂️

Fmr #FBI Director #JamesComey has surrendered Wednesday to law enforcement at federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia.
As he surrenders to law enforcement, he
will be placed under #arrest ahead of his first appearance in court. His hearing began at 1PM.#Comey is idiotically charged with making a threat against Trump & transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, according to court documents.

"Flailing on multiple fronts, Trump is so desperate to demonstrate dominance that this afternoon, at about 3:30, the official social media account of the White House posted a picture of Trump and King Charles, who is in the U.S. on a state visit, with the caption 'TWO KINGS.'”

"There is a frenzied feeling to the news coming from the White House these days. ... There is at least one other story behind the administration’s insistence on building Trump’s ballroom: the man desperately needs a win. ...
And so, Trump and his loyalists are trying desperately to demonstrate their dominance."

Andrew Fleischman: "Here is why James Comey is going to win:
1. The government must establish that '86 47' is a true threat.
2. True threats are serious expressions conveying that a speaker means to commit an act of unlawful violence.
3. This ain't that."

Ken White, aka Popehat on Blueturd, concludes an email about the Justice Department and former FBI director James Comey thusly:
But that’s not the point, is it? The point of the indictment is to demonstrate that the United States Department of Justice is wholly an instrument of Donald Trump’s senescent pique, no more independent of him than a boil on his ass. The point is to show that the administration can, and will, use the Department’s mechanisms to punish enemies. The point is to show that the Department can, and will, punish protected speech. The point is to show that the Department is staffed by committed fanatics willing to do anything, however unethical and unconstitutional, to promote Trump.
The point is to show that in the war between Donald Trump and the U.S. Department of Justice, Trump has won. Now they’re on the field slitting the throats of the wounded and looting bodies.
The road back to credibility for the Department will be long and arduous. I do not expect it to recoup its presumption of regularity or respect within a generation. Trump has twisted it beyond recognition, as we also saw today in this humiliatingly buffoonish pleading in the East Wing case:
[ Here was a link to My Life For You.pdf ]One remedy is to keep fighting, expel the craven Republicans (and some Democrats) supporting Trump, then expel Trump himself. The remedy is to make certain that nobody involved in this travesty is ever respected or trusted or accepted again. That means among others W. Ellis Boyle, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and Matthew R. Petracca, the assistant United States Attorney responsible for this jurisprudential prolapse. Never trust them again, and never trust or tolerate again anyone who treats them as acceptable.

"The Comey Threat Indictment Is A Grave Embarrassment To The United States Department of Justice And The Rule of Law." It also shows no company or person is safe with Trump in power and DOJ as his tool.

It's hilarious that MAGA always called the left snowflakes and yet they seem to have super thin skin.
Cry babies with near-authoritarian control are now charging James Comey.

I have no sympathy for James #Comey beyond the obvious stupidity and abuse inherent in this indictment. But remember that he chose the boss who fired and later indicted him when he shit on Hillary #Clinton who in turn had shat on #BernieSanders who would have beat #Trump even with Comey's interference. So historically it is an #USA #clusterfuck that concludes in at least the loss of the Gulf of Persia if not the end of American world influence and soft power. #iranwar

The #fisk of the #PamBondi statement on the #LindseyHalligan departure continues:
> and fulfilled her responsibilities with courage and resolve.
#ErikSiebert, #JamesComey, and #LetitiaJames all had the courage to tell Trump "no" and the skills to fulfill their responsibilities. Halligan’s lack of experience was cited by Judge #Novak as a reason he didn’t impose sanctions for her inability to parse and follow the law.
> Her departure is a significant loss for the Department of Justice
Normative opinion; contradicted by judicial action. Judges kicked her out because that was necessary under the #law, not a loss of a bona fide asset of the #DOJ.
> and the communities she served.
You are thinking of Erik #Siebert or career prosecutors, I think.
> While we will feel her absence keenly, we are confident that she will continue to serve her country in other ways.
James #Comey wanted to serve his country and the #Constitution and #Trump tried to imprison him with the illegal appointment of #Halligan.
> The circumstances that led to this outcome are deeply misguided.
I agree, #Trump is a misguided circumstance. But the circumstances that led to Halligan’s ouster are: Article II of the US Constitution, 28 U.S.C. § 546, and established precedent on officer appointments.
> We are living in a time when a democratically elected President's ability to staff key law enforcement positions faces serious obstacles.
I support the #USConstitution, Pam #Bondi, why don’t you? The president was Constitutionally elected, not democratically as then a majority would have voted for him.

Halligan’s response to the judge Tuesday — a remarkably defiant document that strains the boundaries of standard legal rhetoric and logic … characterized [District Judge David J.] Novak’s questions as “a thinly veiled threat” against her authority and claimed the previous unlawful appointment ruling only prevented her from working the dismissed cases against #Comey and James … did not explain why she and the DOJ have repeatedly identified her as a full U.S. attorney in court filings — dropping “acting” or “interim” from her title — even though she was never confirmed by the Senate or federal judges in the Eastern District of Virginia.

The number two prosecutor in the US attorney’s office for the eastern district of Virginia has been fired,
⭐️the latest in a series of dismissals in an office that is leading controversial criminal prosecutions of James #Comey and Letitia #James.#Robert #McBride, a former federal prosecutor in Kentucky, was brought in late last year
to serve as the deputy to Lindsey Halligan, a Trump ally who the president installed as the acting US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia in September.
🔥McBride was dismissed after declining to lead the Comey prosecution -- which a judge threw out in November after ruling Halligan was unlawfully appointed, one of the people said.
(The justice department is appealing the ruling.)McBride refused to take on important cases in the district, another person familiar with the matter said,
and had met privately with judges in the district with the goal of being appointed himself to the top prosecutor job.
The person said top justice department officials supported McBride’s firing.

A judge has ordered the Donald Trump-appointed lawyer who led failed prosecutions of two of his political opponents to
⭐️explain why she is still representing herself as US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia -- after another judge ruled she was in the position unlawfully.In an order filed in the district’s Richmond division on Tuesday, #Lindsey #Halligan was given seven days to explain why she had engaged in “professional misconduct” by continuing to sign indictments.
Halligan -- Trump’s former personal lawyer -- was installed by the president in September to lead the prosecutions of two political figures with whom he had frequently clashed: #James #Comey, the former director of the FBI, and #Letitia #James, attorney general for the state of New York.
⭐️Federal judge Cameron McGowan Currie threw out both cases in November, writing in a scathing opinion that Halligan’s installation was invalid, and
“all actions flowing from Ms Halligan’s defective appointment” were
“unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside”.✅The three-page order signed Tuesday by district court judge David Novak, in an unrelated case, is similarly unequivocal.
“While the US has appealed Judge Currie’s opinion and order, no stay has been issued in conjunction with that appeal,” he wrote.
“Consequently, it remains the binding precedent in this district and is not subject to being ignored.” -
