Comey Indictment

By now, unless you've been in a cave or a coma, you know that Trump's DoJ, on his direct order, procured an indictment of James Comey.

the Feds to Comey probably doesn't have many political friends. In the space of a year, he managed to piss off both Republicans and Democrats, by investigating Trump over his connections to Russia and by throwing the election to Trump. So it's probably a smart move to go after him, first.

But it's still both pernicious as hell and likely to fail. A president publicly acting as a shot-caller for the DoJ, which formerly operated somewhat independently, turns the criminal justice system into a travesty. It would have, in an earlier time, been enough to trigger an impeachment. It may also make it harder for prosecutors in other cases to win convictions, as it may be in the minds of jurors to wonder whether or not the charges are fair.

It's likely to fail as the defense will have a wealth of information to show that Preznit Voldemoron has been trying to prejudice the case. It may fail because his handpicked stooge may have to run the case herself, as no career prosecutor was willing to sign the charge sheet and, for some reason, La Stooge signed and filed two charge sheets and then denied knowledge of that to the judge. She may have to present the case as a complete newbie and she's already demonstrated to the judge that she doesn't know what she's doing. It's quite likely that the case will fall completely apart. I would not be surprised if the defense was able to suggest that, what with the directed dropping of the Homan bribery case, that there's not justice coming from the DoJ.

Republicans should also be aware of the Golden Rule of Politics: I"ll Do Unto You Like You Did Unto Me.
