Trump’s DOJ just charged James Comey for the third time in a little over a year. They lost the first one. The second one is about seashells and isn’t going anywhere. So they went looking for a new one.
What they landed on is a 2016 leak to the New York Times that Trump’s own prosecutor already looked at in 2018 and declined to charge. A second DOJ investigation closed in 2020 with the same answer. But the statute of limitations runs out this week, so they skipped the grand jury and filed anyway.
And it’s not just Comey. Yesterday a judge ruled the DOJ illegally fired his daughter, a prosecutor with outstanding reviews every year, and ordered her reinstated with back pay.
So this is what we’re dealing with. A Justice Department that will keep going after someone no matter how many times it loses, and will go after his family if that’s what it takes.
Trump said he’d do this. He campaigned on it. And the people he put in charge at the DOJ keep trying. All to keep the toddler who ended up in the White House happy. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).
