Comey Indicted

[Hafar1014]

SCOTUS put Trump above the law, which is just one reason why this court will go down in the history as being one of the worst.

Biden was the worst Cater second Obama third.
Trump will be the best

 

[Marener]

Its the best baby

Equality before the law is a foreign concept to this corrupt court.

Its not corrupt because you dont agree. You just dont like being irrelevant

Letting the president commit crimes is pretty corrupt.

Equality before the law is a foreign concept to this corrupt court.

That's why Scotus makes decisions based on COTUS and not politics.

The constitution doesn’t say anything about the president being above the law.

They made it up to protect Trump.

Comey lawyers seek to dismiss charges, arguing 2020 testimony is ‘literally true’​

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5583072-comey-slams-cruz-indictment/?tbref=hp

Former FBI Director James Comey asked a judge to dismiss the case against him for lying to Congress, saying everything he said in his 2020 testimony was “literally true.”

The filing from Comey’s legal team goes on to slam Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for a “fundamentally ambiguous” line of questioning.


“Fundamental to any false statement charge are both clear questions and false answers. Neither exists here,” Comey’s attorneys wrote in the Thursday filing, noting that the statute requires “false answers to precise questions.”

The two-page indictment of Comey was brought after a career prosecutor left the Justice Department over concerns in the case, with President Trump then appointing one of his former personal attorneys to oversee it. In an unusual move, Lindsey Halligan, who is now leading the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is the only attorney to have signed the indictment.

The sparse indictment doesn’t offer specifics about the exchange on which Comey’s charges are based. But it references questions about whether Comey authorized his deputy Andrew McCabe to leak to the media about an investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign, a line of inquiry only touched on by Cruz.

Cruz initially summarizes testimony Comey gave during a 2017 appearance before Congress, when Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked if he’d ever been the source for leaks on the Trump campaign probe.

Cruz went on to summarize statements from Comey’s then-deputy, Andrew McCabe, statements the filing said “McCabe simply had not made.” Cruz then asked the FBI director who was telling the truth about the alleged leaks.

Comey said only that he stood by his original testimony.

“After speaking for more than a minute, Senator Ted Cruz asked Mr. Comey to recall statements he had made three years earlier and to simultaneously address statements that Senator Cruz incorrectly claimed were made by Andrew McCabe,” the filing states.

“In doing so, Senator Cruz never indicated that he wanted Mr. Comey to address the statements or activities of any person except for Mr. McCabe.”

The Grassley exchange is now beyond the statute of limitations, while Comey was charged just days before the clock would have run out on the 2020 testimony.


However, confusing matters further, prosecutors have since said in court that Person 1 and 3 referenced in the indictment are not McCabe and Trump but rather a close friend of Comey’s, Daniel Richman, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The President is not above the law. The mechanism for crimes committed while in office is impeachment and is what SCOTUS upheld.

Not ginned up charges and prosecution in state court.

Impeachment is not a criminal process.

The president is allowed to commit crimes.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Impeachment is not a criminal process.

The president is allowed to commit crimes.

Doesn’t matter it’s the process.

 

[Delldude]

Impeachment is not a criminal process

It can be.

The president is allowed to commit crimes.

Not entirely true and you know it.

 

[Marener]

Doesn’t matter it’s the process.

So the president is above the law.

 

[Marener]

It can be.

No, it can’t.

Not entirely true and you know it.

If the president is not subject to criminal law, he’s above it.

 

[OODA_Loop]

So the president is above the law.

No. Subject to impeachment

 

[Marener]

No. Subject to impeachment

Impeachment only extends to removal from office. There’s no criminal culpability.

There can still be criminal prosecution for crimes committed which are not official acts.

 

[Marener]

There can still be criminal prosecution for crimes committed which are not official acts.

And? That means he’s allowed to do a lot of illegal shit and get away with it.

What illegal shit?

 

[Marener]

What illegal shit?

Let’s talk specifically about Comey’s indictment.

Comey alleges it’s a vindictive prosecution. He’s entitled to discovery and depositions of people involved in the DoJ’s case against him. Trump is involved in the case against him, so Trump is deposed.

Ordinarily, people are subject to criminal prosecution for lying under oath.

But not Trump.
