Here we go AGAIN—Demented Donnie’s DO(in)J charges James Comey for a third time!
The Washington Post reports:
Justice Dept. charges James Comey, ex-FBI director, for a third time
BLUF: Comey was accused of leaking sensitive information to the media in 2016.
By Perry Stein
The Justice Department has again charged James B. Comey, the third time the Trump administration has mounted a criminal case against the former FBI director — a prominent political foe of the president — since last year.
This time, federal prosecutors charged Comey with two counts alleging that he leaked sensitive government material to the media in 2016 when he was FBI director. Comey was fired by President Donald Trump the following year. He has since become a staunch critic of Trump and the Justice Department’s actions during his second term.
According to federal prosecutors, Comey directed his staff to talk to a New York Times reporter about U.S. email surveillance in October 2016. The information relayed to the reporter was sensitive government material that should not have been disclosed, prosecutors allege.
Prosecutors did not obtain an indictment through a grand jury to charge Comey, but rather charged him in D.C. with a criminal information. This means that the document charging Comey is solely based on allegations from a prosecutor rather than a grand jury.
The charges were originally filed under seal earlier this month, but a federal judge in D.C. sided with Comey’s request to unseal the allegations against him.
Comey, who is also facing an unrelated criminal case in North Carolina, denied the latest allegations on Monday and said he would keep fighting in court.
“It would almost be funny if it weren’t such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice — one that we cannot become numb to,” Comey said in a video statement posted online. “Nothing’s changed with me. I’m still innocent.”
AI Generated summary of 279 readers’ comments on this article:
The comments express strong criticism of Donald Trump and his administration, with accusations of using the Department of Justice for personal vendettas and malicious prosecution.
Commenters suggest that actions taken by Trump are distractions from other issues, such as calls for investigations into his ties with Epstein and his handling of Middle East affairs.
There is also skepticism about the timing of these actions and their potential impact on upcoming elections.
My comments:
Another vindictive persecution/prosecution by Demented Donnie’s DO(in)J—time to haul Demented Donnie and TOAD a**es into court.
Also, how about we prosecute Demented Donnie for the TROVES of TOP SECRET FILES he stole and left unsecured in bed bug infested Mar a Lago and shared with the enemies of the United States? We all saw it.
Just like we did his violent INSURRECTION—both of his crimes potentially carry the death penalty, by the way.
