Trump admin seek indictment of James Comey (Update Comey indicted, indictment dismissed, now new indictment)

[superchuck500]

This, of course, comes after the previous US Attorney in EDVA Eric Seibert resigned because he didn't think he could sign off on charges against Comey or Letitia James. The new interim US Attorney - who has no relevant background whatsoever and made her name with Trump by doing a review of Smithsonian exhibits that were contrary to MAGA viewpoints - clearly will file charges.

I question the legitimacy of these Grand Juries. Both James and Comey were indicted on fabricated evidence that will be easily tossed before an actual trial takes place.

You know the old saying. You can indict a ham sandwhich. Grand juries only hear one side of the story.

Yup, that is true. They are given enough information to determine if an indictment can be passed. I served on one. It was very interesting. I would definitely do it again.

So an Agent ( Agent 2 ) told Agent 3 and FBI attorney that Agent 3 may have reviewed/obtained evidence that was possibly "Attorney-Client privilege" and instead of recusing from testifying went on and testified to the Grand Jury.

This whole administration on down operates on "its easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission" doctrine.

I'd call it more defiance than asking for forgiveness

"Yeah, we did it, what of it?!"

Not sure if hyperbole or not from Ron, but he thinks her law license could be in jeopardy

He said "disbarred or disciplined" which could mean a range of possible censures. She's not going to be disbarred over it.

Maybe she should be? Maybe we have been too lenient with misdeeds from lawyers pertaining to Trump?

I'd say the "What're you gonna do about it?" doctrine. Screw forgiveness.
