    By Anna Betts

    He gave the most ridiculous example on #MeetTheRepublicans this morning:

    "No AG would promise that [not do something requested by the Potus.] If he asked me to 'go after every violent criminal in the United States', of course I'd do it."

    Welker: "What if he told you to go after a specific individual?"

    TB (visibly offended): "He'd NEVER ask me to do something like THAT!"

    Really? Ask #Pirro about #DavidHearn, #LetishaJames, #SenAdamSchiff or #JamesComey.

    No pushback from Welker. 🤦‍♂️

  3. That summary was sent to Air Force One, even as #Trump told Fox News that same day that he was “not going to get involved” in the case.

    #SecretService agents tailed #JamesComey’s car from North Carolina to Virginia. The “# 3 guy at DOJ ‘wanted to ping’” Comey’s phone without a traditional #warrant, according to the filing, a request that’s typically used only when an emergency — a dangerous, fleeing suspect, for instance — requires immediate action.

  4. Internal government documents turned over in the case provide one of the most glaring examples to date of the degree to which #Trump now directs federal law enforcement actions & uses agencies to target his perceived enemies.

    The #SecretService questioned #JamesComey about the 2025 photograph of seashells he posted, & an agent received a “direct request” from Trump to forward him details from that interview, acc/to the documents.

    #SammyTheBull Gravano was called as a ‘witness’ for Donny ‘Two Dolls’ #Trump in his case against #JamesComey charging him with threatening the #POTUS by posting a photo of #seashells forming 8647. independent.co.uk/news/world/a

    Did Donny become pals with Sammy after he broke-up with Jeffrey? 🤔

  6. Comey alleges Trump pushed prosecution over ‘8647’ seashell post

    Comey’s lawyers say Secret Service tracked him and investigators turned to AI and a mafia killer to bolster the case

  7. Jesse Lee: "Are Sen. Jon Husted, Sen. Susan Collins, and Sen. Dan Sullivan still silent on whether Todd Blanche can be permanent Attorney General? Every day is a new corrupt investigation or cover-up, and their silence is complicity."

  8. It seems that unless you wish to sign up for Trump's criminal enterprise then doing his bidding is career death in US Law.

    I hope some Simple Sabotage is being applied to the demands of the corrupt DoJ, a good lawyer should know how to do that...

  12. CW: Clever idea, AI slop, Legal Commentary

    On the same day as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the Helluva Boss NSFW short “Barbie’s Bad Day” was released. Then the FBI and DOJ pivoted to indicting Comey for an Instagram post because, according to Trump, mob folk in the movies once used "86" as code for murder. The bare-bones indictment certainly didn't disclose that Comey deleted the post, said he had no idea a 1930s diner code still in daily use today had violent implications, or “apologized” (citation required!) — claimed facts Kash Patel went ahead and described at his press conference, apparently violating grand jury secrecy in the process.

    So while AG Blanche tries to dig himself out of the hole of vindictive prosecution and to wrestle with the “true threat” standard of Elonis v. US (2015); US v. White, (4th Cir. 2016); and Counterman v. Colorado (2023), let’s look at the following AI slop.

    • Quotes are from “Barbie’s Bad Day” and "Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special (ft Fizzarolli)"

    • I know the difference between Barbie Wire and some generic Verosika/Imp/Hot Topic girl — this is AI slop, not the work of a talented artist

    • Obsessive fans will know the actual Asmodeus quote is “Mammon can eat my ass. In a bad way.” but the “but” is necessary to capture the duality of meaning to the average person on the street.

    • And duality of meaning is just one of the many, many reasons this Comey indictment needs to be mocked rather than being respected as administration of justice.

  13. It's wrong, for two reasons, to say #JamesComey's #8647 sea shell arrangement wasn't a crime because "86 doesn't mean to kill someone."
    In fact, to "86" is a pop-culture term for killing, though not the primary meaning of "86".
    But even if that's what Comey meant, saying you want somebody to kill the president is protected speech, not a crime, unless it's a true threat, which this obviously wasn't. That's the important thing here.

  14. "The Comey indictment sends a message. No matter how implausible the case, no matter how many times a case fails, the Trump regime will continue to use the United States government to pursue the people Donald has decided are his enemies.

    Comey is just one of those people."
