I'm wondering if it will even make it to trial. Pretty sure Comey
knows some good lawyers.

But it’s also karma. I will never forgive Comey for costing Hillary the Presidency and saddling us with Donald Trump. He is single-handedly responsible for Trump and this county burning. I don’t want to see Trump and Bondi “win,” but I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about Comey.

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.
