Ironic that this prosecution is being engineered by the man that Comey likely had a hand in electing in 2016 (11 days before the 2016 presidential election, Comey sent a letter to Congress stating the FBI was reopening the investigation of Hilary Clinton's use of a private email server after discovering new emails on a separate device). Sometimes Karma is going to get you.
I recall that too with utter disdain but as a Christian who leaves karma with Eastern Religions, I'll not that the Apostle Paul says it best in his letter to the Galatians: "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap what you sow."
Have you not read Holy Scripture that reminds us that God sees all. In Paul's Letter to the Romans is God's affirmation: Vengeance is mine; I will repay.
Perhaps you might join a Bible study and/or make worship of God [the audience] weekly in a Christian sanctuary. Perhaps you might then receive the gift of faith and the indwelling Holy Spirit--counselor, advocate, comforter, helper--God sent to us after Jesus' ascension. Bible teacher Beth Moore I remember for her claim "eternity is a long time to be wrong."
Trump should have sent Comey flowers for Hillary's emails.
And Blanche should have had the character and the fortitude to dissuade his boss from ever pursuing a stupid persecution over some stupid seashells and stupidly wasting our tax dollars and the time of otherwise well paid civil servants.
What happens to all the court cases being forced upon individuals financially. In trump’s cases (DOJ), we are footing the bill, so they can accuse anyone of anything and the taxpayer pays. But who pays the lawyers and other costs of the accused when they are exonerated? Can they counter sue?
I cannot be the only one who derives a certain perverse pleasure in witnessing the outrageous hypocrisy of the Tump administration. While examples of this administration perpetuating "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse" on the American taxpayer are, really, too numerous to mention, I do think ginning up all the big guns in our Justice Department to persecute James Comey over some seashells on a North Carolina beach comes near the top of the dung heap.
Wonder if Gym Jordan will deign to focus his "Waste Fraud and Abuse" gunsight on something not caused by Biden?
Everybody should keep in mind that, if you live in Ohio's 4th District, you don't have to return him to Washington in November. He can go back to Columbus.
And yet half the country elected him . What does that say about both the country and the Democratic party ? Once a con man , always a con man . What a gullible country to elect a multiple mailed businessman . Unbelievable
I read this morning in the NYT and article by Sam sifton which stated: "payouts from the fund appear to continue without a formal structure, despite Blanche’s public retreat. The government will make a seven-figure payment to an anti-abortion activist convicted by a Tennessee jury in 2024 of conspiring to prevent access to an abortion clinic: I thought this was on hold. Can you explain Thank you. Betty Subscriber
Pat Fitzgerald prosecuted our disgraceful former governor, Rod Blagojevich, for corruption including “pay to play’ in appointing a replacement in the Senate when President Obama was elected in 2008. RB was sentenced to 14 years in prison but trump 1.0 pardoned him.
Can you comment on what we have learned from authoritarian governments elsewhere, in terms of complicity of mid-level government workers, for example, in the Secret Service or FBI in this case? What prompts people to come forward and become whistleblowers? What prompts people who were initially presumably decent folks who took oath to the constitution and are patriotic, to instead simply “follow orders“?
Having recently seen examples of “stumbling stones“ in many German, Belgium and Netherlands cities, marking locations, where Jews were deported to their deaths concentration camps, what can we do to encourage pushback against actions by the Department of justice for show trials such as that Of former director Comey?
I believe that the wealthy oligarchs are taking over our country, and we are at the point of no return. I have been advocating either a soft secession or an outright secession by the democratic states. Recently, I have been considering a new approach to transform our country in a way that will undo the inherent mistakes resulting from the occurrence of slavery in our country and the fact that we ended up being a country with a major division between the North and the South. The question of slavery was never discussed or resolved at the convention in 1778, but the division was present at that convention and has resulted in our country having two disagreeing parties. We have two warring parties that have been battling since the issue of slavery.
My thinking is, what if there were a way to eliminate both of their parties, no longer a Democratic Party and a Republican Party? Both are gone. There is a way for that to happen. What if our people had a new party, developed, funded, and controlled by us, the people of America? Why do we have two enemy parties? Do you think the people in the South are very different from us in the North? I believe the people in the southern states are like me; they want a peaceful life, a reasonable salary, a secure retirement plan, and to care for all their family members. This I believe. I believe that the majority of those living in the South during the worst times, when the Ku Klux Klan existed, didn't agree with the Klan, but just as we are living with ICE and are afraid to confront them on the street, so did they live like we are living with ICE.
I watched the Alabama football team play in Alabama, cheering for a team where nearly all the players are Black, and yet they were being cheered. When I had a chance to spend time with people I thought were my enemies, I found the truth was just the opposite; they became my friends, and we enjoyed each other's company. In Florida, at a beach under an awning, I spent time with a man from Indiana and Wisconsin, both farmers and wonderful people who talked about things that did not exist in my life, but we were friends. They were good people with good hearts. In Europe, I met Germans, and once I could get past my stereotypes, I found them to be warm, sensitive, young people.
So, if we are all alike, what or who is generating our two-party difference, or just distrusting each other? And ideas? Who makes a living from the existence of this two-party system?
Politicians do! Politicians are the fly in the ointment. They are the ones who will say that a national health service will raise their taxes, even though that is not true. I believe that if I could ask my fellow citizens questions without the politicians, they would answer the same way: no differences, both the same, yes, a national health plan is great, yes, strong unions would be helpful, yes, everyone could go to college free; the person sowing dissent is the politician.
Now, my plan for an American People's Party would be an idea never considered possible until Trump and the invading oligarchs have forced us to rethink our government structure and the existence of two political parties. Please imagine what it would be like to have one party for all people, a party created by the people, developed, controlled, and funded by the people, with no politicians controlling the party. The platform for this party will be created by the people, not by the politicians who are oligarchs' paid extensions. This plan would have a people platform for all people, administrators chosen by the people, and internal organizations to control the party's future, ensuring the party is safeguarded from being invaded by the wealthy.
I wrote about my new American People's Party yesterday and received suggestions from readers for additions to my party's platform, which I outlined in my piece. Suggestions included 12-year term limits for SC judges, making student loans eligible for bankruptcy, and providing $30,000 for first-time homebuyers, to be repaid when the home is sold. I appreciate that someone is reading what I am writing. We would have input into our party's platform, rather than politicians forming one in secret.
"So, if we are all alike, what or who is generating our two-party difference, or just distrusting each other?"
I watched a video recently of a former Maga person talking about what made him change his mind. He spoke about several things but one thing which is a simple message, and one that James Tallarico for example makes, is to understand that we have more in common and agree on more than what we disagree on. New party or not, it behoove us to emphasize this fact.

or not, depending on human actions and a lot of random events.
Have you not read Holy Scripture that reminds us that God sees all. In Paul's Letter to the Romans is God's affirmation: Vengeance is mine; I will repay.
I have read it but I see no evidence that it is true, and I don't think we should have to wait till the Day of Judgment to find out for sure.

Blanche is not going to try to dissuade him of anything. He is a total lackey
Well...he was, is, and will likely continue to be Trump's personal attorney
I wonder if he'll be there for Trump when the proverbial sh*t hits the proverbial fan, especially if the Dems take over both houses.
More than ever if he gets slipped in as AG today or tomorrow
That's what history indicates for sure
This whole case is so bogus, wasting taxpayer money 💰 and not to mention what the Comey family is spending 🥹
Is there a possibility that Comey can recover legal expenses from this vindictive action?
What happens to all the court cases being forced upon individuals financially. In trump’s cases (DOJ), we are footing the bill, so they can accuse anyone of anything and the taxpayer pays. But who pays the lawyers and other costs of the accused when they are exonerated? Can they counter sue?

no you don't. That is a complete waste of any capacity to wonder. It is a dead certainty that such a thing will never cross what passes for his mind.
Everybody should keep in mind that, if you live in Ohio's 4th District, you don't have to return him to Washington in November. He can go back to Columbus.
Trump is the personification of WASTE FEAUD AND ABUSE.
And yet half the country elected him . What does that say about both the country and the Democratic party ? Once a con man , always a con man . What a gullible country to elect a multiple mailed businessman . Unbelievable
Will Bondi, Blanche and other DOJ officials ever be held to account for their obvious indiscretions and possible illegal behavior?
I am so proud of you women. I love you both. You go girls!

Thanks for the smile, Katie and Joyce! The scarf is a nice touch!
Is there a way to get that Truth Social post showing Biden tied up in the back of a pick-up, in order to contrast with the seashells?!
I prefer reading over watching so appreciate transcripts when possible. Love how you two keep feet to the fire.
