1. The first of many political enemies that will be indicted for nothing

Where are our legal experts here, is there any process that Gestapo I mean department of justice can do to put someone on trial without getting an independent grand jury to do the indictment, and how in the world did they get a grand jury to agree that this person who did nothing wrong did something wrong?

2. This novice prosecutor overruled the Grand Jury on TFG's instructions!

So now who will she try to convince - another jury or an experienced judge?? Another huge waste of time and money, let alone that Comey will have to hire his own lawyer. Of course, there's his own daughter who TFG put out of a job, though she's one of the most experienced prosecutors we have...

6. I don't understand you mean they can overrule any grand jury they want?

If so say goodbye to all Democrats.

Just did search it says they can’t overrule the grand jury.

7. I listened again and you're right, the grand jury was persuaded to indict him, I must have heard an earlier report

12. We still don't know what she said to the grand jury, plus she only started this job on Monday

So it looks to me that she was just following instructions while the experienced prosecutor refused.

8. Here are the two letters from Comey that got trump elected

I was training some attorneys who were going to do voter protection at a downtown law firm when the first letter came out. One of my firm's associates was taking this course and was making a funny face during my class. Later I was shocked to hear what Comey did in that it was a DOJ cardinal rule that you take no steps close to an election.






These letters got trump elected in 2016

I stand with Comey in this matter but I still have very strong feelings about this idiot.
