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.
This is practically textbook malicious prosecution. The social media post by Trump and the statute of limitations being only days away at the time of indictment make me expect any non-MAGA federal judge to toss this case immediately. The defendant has such a good affirmative defense that this going to trial would be an embarrassment to the court.
Our courts don’t work that quickly, but probably the initial hearings will be the defense asking for dismissal with prejudice and the prosecutor having to explain why this isn’t actually exactly what everyone knows it is.
Unless it goes to Cannon’s court, in which case Comey will get the death penalty.

Yeah, I’m thinking this case gets tossed, with prejudice, within the next 48 hours.

Tell how a shopped judge makes your statement correct.
