Fox News legal expert sees “no viable case” against James Comey

[postman]

she didn't falsely assume, she was and is an employee of the DOJ.

The question is what specifially is her job, and what authority she has in her job

She told the judge she was a US Attorney.

That's criminal impersonation.

 

[postman]

um a US Attorney is a federal employee.

but she never claimed to be one, she was the Acting US Attorney

She was never acting US Attorney.

 

[Delldude]

She was never a US attorney, but played one on TV.

She was on Law and Order?

 

[struth]

She told the judge she was a US Attorney.

That's criminal impersonation.

She told the judge she was the acting us attorney because she believed she was

That’s not a crime

 

[struth]

She was never acting US Attorney.

Well she and her employer believed she was

The judge said the code wasn’t followed correctly when she was appointed acting us attorney

That’s not a crime

 

[postman]

There is no law or rules forbidding the practice. In fact, as head of the executive, He has the sole power to do this. All is needed is a legal basis for an investigation.

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that selective prosecution occurs where the law enforcement officials or prosecutors have in pursuing a criminal case “directed so exclusively against a particular class of persons … with a mind so unequal and oppressive” that equal protection of the law has been negated by their efforts ..

While both Wayte and Armstrong address selective prosecution, the Supreme Court emphasized that selective enforcement is no different from other equal protection claims. Therefore, discriminatory purpose and discriminatory effect requirements also apply to selective enforcement.

Selecting her is not a crime.
Her impersonating an acting US attorney is a crime.

It's no different than if Al Haig (after Reagan was shot) claimed that he was the acting president of the united states.

 

[postman]

Well she and her employer believed she was

Actually that is the element that makes it a crime.

Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such,

She was no impersonating anyone, she was acting as the acting US Attorney because her employer appointed her to that job.

she didn't falsely assume or prtend to be an officer or employee....she is in fact an employee

Dembot you didn't even know that a US Attorney was a federal employee, lets not pretend you understand the law.

Nice try, epic fail. The president is neither a law enforcement official nor a prosecutor.

As head of the executive, He has the sole power to do this. All is needed is a legal basis for an investigation.

As said as if....

Under your theory Al Haig could have said he was the acting president, after all he was a federal employee (sec of state) and in the line of succession.

That he could have pretended to be acting president, and there was no law to prevent it.

Did you know I was the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

 

[struth]

Did you know I was the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

I didn't, when? I wouldn't be surprised if Xiden appointed someone like you to that position.

 

[Marener]

She is not and never has been either a US attorney or acting US attorney.

You the clown who hid the Epstein Files and got fired?

Nobody appoints an acting President, unlike an acting US attorney.

Try again dembot, you are failing

 

[postman]

Nice try, epic fail. The president is neither a law enforcement official nor a prosecutor.

Trump said. “It’s not necessary. I could know about. I could be the one starting it. I’m actually the chief law enforcement officer.

 

[struth]

White House website ... describing him as the “chief law enforcement officer of the federal government.”

“It remains our position that the President’s actions here, by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, ...” Trump lawyer John Dowd wrote.

He is the chief law enforcment officer of the federal govt.

All executive power vest in him.

 

[Delldude]

White House website ... describing him as the “chief law enforcement officer of the federal government.”

That's swell...... but He is not a law enforcement official in the traditional sense.

As an ex US attorney, you have to resort to the Whitehouse website and not quote specific law or DOJ precedents.

Epic failure #2.
