President Donald Trump gloated about the filing of criminal charges against James Comey, whom he fired as FBI director in 2017, in his first White House term.
For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust,” Patel wrote.
These people are absolutely insane. What exactly did Comey do? Unless i missed it, is not in the article
It’s in the article now near the end. He testified to Congress that he didn’t authorize a leak about investigating Hillary Clinton’s email server in 2016. But Andrew McCabe testified that Comey did.
No, Andrew McCabe testified that he decided to leak the investigation and then told Comey about it after he had already leaked it. Comey testified that he didn’t authorize the leak or know about it before it happened but that McCabe told him about it after the fact. Their testimonies corroborate each other.
That’s what I don’t get. Whats in it for Trump to investigate? Usually I expect right or wrong, or the actual law to not matter, only personal spite, and the main thing comey was known for is helping get Trump elected.
Don’t get your brain twisted in a knot trying to apply your Critical Thinking Skills to his behavior. There is no rhyme or reason to much of what he does or says.
When a person has no Critical Thinking Skills, the logical vacuum has to be filled by something, and in many people, especially those with lazy intelligence, that vacuum is filled with Chaotic Thinking. It’s the pinball machine of thinking; even when you think you are putting together some sort of strategy, it only survives a few random bounces.
Trump is ruled by Chaotic Thinking, exacerbated by never having to suffer consequences of any of his misbehavior. He doesn’t think hard, never deeply, and is happy with the first concept that allows him to get back to thinking and talking about his favorite subjects: money, golf, and himself.
Director of the FBI. That position automatically makes them guilty of horrific human rights violations in the global south. So, you won’t see me give a shit when one of them catches punishment for any reason.
US justice system is a joke. If it punishes one of its own because it’s such a joke I see that as at least a nice feature of its stupidity.
I’ll save my caring and activism for people like Mahmoud Khalil.
What exactly did Comey do? Unless i missed it, is not in the article
It’s literally the first sentence.
Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges of false statement and obstruction related to testimony he gave to Congress five years ago.
The indictment also alleges that Comey made a false statement in violation of 18 USC 1001. Comey stated that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment that statement was false.

False statements and obstruction, but really is cause he didn’t do what trump wanted
I saw that. But what did he falsly say?
Yeah the corruption is off the charts with this case.
He falsely said Trump wasn’t entirely above the law.
At what point does his declaration go from true to false? Are we at that stage?
At discovery. He always looses in discovery because they cant discover anything.
It’s in the article now near the end. He testified to Congress that he didn’t authorize a leak about investigating Hillary Clinton’s email server in 2016. But Andrew McCabe testified that Comey did.

Ah interesting. They actually removed that whole thing from the article after I posted my comment. I wonder if they got fact checked.
He sabotaged Hillary Clinton and is possibly the only reason Trump is still a person we care about.

I think he is also responsible for the Russia investigation and special counsel. Which America forgot about, but Trump didn’t.

Hurrdurrr what was the false statement and obstruction genius?
No word on the obstruction charge.
Thank you. Seems like a, wait for it, a trumped up charge!
This article yesterday has a better breakdown of the charges
Basically, he claims he had no knowledge of the leak about reopening the Clinton email investigation, McCabe says he did.
