James Comey is likely to face a Trump voting jury in North Carolina. He picked the wrong seashore to make a seashell message. Smart prosecution here. Great venue and a simple case. Comey is a moron to put himself in this legal peril over an Instagram picture.

Hopefully it drains Comey's bank accounts defending himself and his family.

Yep. Outside of receiving real justice, I hope he spends the rest of his life stressed out and spending money defending his illegal actions.

Same for Brennan and every one of those corrupt pieces of *****

Don't care. FBI needs to grill him, allow him to lie, and then put him in prison for lying to the FBI.

Hopefully that's the plan here.

What was Comey's tweet?

The statute under which Comey is charged is not itself contrary to the First Amendment, therefore the indictment is not subject to a "Facial" challenge as unconstitutional. There have been plenty of successful prosecutions on this statute.

The challenge would be "As Applied" --…

You know he has the right to remain silent right?

Also, this is a big time be careful what you wish for thing for MAGA. There is literally 86 46 merch being sold by MAGA stores and on Amazon. This charge won't stick and if it does, it will swing back and take out a whole bunch of MAGA people with it.

Uh, let's not pretend "MAGA" started anything. Thats a blatant lie.

The term "86" in mafia or criminal slang means to eliminate, kill, or get rid of someone or something. https://t.co/8ANseIYF6Q

Quote:

---

A true threat requires "statements where the speaker means to communicate a serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals." Virginia v. Black, 538 U.S. 343, 359 (2003).

It is certainly true that the threat can be implied. However, "The 'true' in that term distinguishes what is at issue from jests, 'hyperbole,' or other statements that when taken in context do not convey a real possibility that violence will follow." Counterman v. Colorado, 600 U.S. 66, 74 (2023).

****

We will have to wait to see if the administration has a "smoking shell" allegation that makes Comey's shell speech more menacing as a willful and knowing threat. I cannot imagine what that would be beyond a sleeper surfer hit squad waiting for a shell signal.

****

Ironically, the indictment is unlikely to survive a challenge, but it is likely to fulfill Comey's narrative about the administration. It will undermine the legitimate objections to the lawfare waged under Comey.

Comey's shell speech should not be celebrated, but it should be protected.

Fox is out with my column on the Comey indictment. I have been one of Comey's longest and most vocal critics. However, it is the Constitution, not Comey, that must drive this analysis. This indictment is unlikely to survive First Amendment challenges. https://t.co/KuHfviB47U

The Comey indictment says all it needs to say.

Indictments are neither "Strong" nor "Weak."

The Indictment has no bearing on the outcome of the case.

Only the evidence matters.

And no one commenting on social media knows what the evidence is.

Calling for assassinations is not free speech and never has been. And of course as corrupt as Comey is, he also knows that.

Why would you possibly be a witness? "Turns state's evidence" is hilarious.

In the military, "86" is slang for removing, discarding, cancelling, or eliminating something or someone. It is used informally to mean getting rid of equipment, denying access to personnel, or calling off a mission. In extreme contexts, it can mean to neutralize or kill.

yuh huh.
