And it will fail spectacularly.
Great, you can celebrate and send Comey a couple bucks when it happens. I'll give you a digital high five here on JPP. Until then, I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat.
For me, It's a win already. Not everybody likes giving lawyers thousands of dollars, most people hate it. So maybe, a few less people out there will threaten the president now or at any time in the future. The indictment alone is at least a deterrent. Believe it or not it's illegal to threaten the President. Lots of people are arrested and convicted every year and just because your name is Comey doesn't exclude you.
In fact, it makes the threat much worse. The director of the FBI is a very well connected guy all over the world. How do we know that Comey wasn't sending a bad actor a message to take a shot at Trump? This isn't some average run of the mill dumbass, he was the director of the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet, the boss, the big guy. The possibilities are endless. That said, my guess is simple greed and stupidity, all for book sales and his giant ego.
Regardless of what you think, he knew exactly what he was doing. He couldn't resist, he wanted book sales and he calculated that he'd get away with it like all scumbags like him always do. At the very least he now has to defend another felony charge and if justice is served, he'll be convicted. If not, again, it's already a win.
The simple fact is, currently by law, anybody that threatens the President regardless of party, needs to be arrested and dragged through the process, it's called a deterrent. If you idiots don't agree with it, tell that to Congress, that's how we do things in America for now. No one is above the law.
