Chump non-stop lust for James Comey

The Convicted Felon begs for removal from office with each breath he takes.  His latest halitosis heavy huff is pushing that former FBI director Christopher Wray should be investigated.  Luke Broadwater (NEW YORK TIMES) reports:


In a phone interview, Mr. Trump accused Mr. Wray of “inappropriate” behavior and said he “would think” the Justice Department is investigating him.

“I would imagine. I would certainly imagine. I would think they are doing that,” Mr. Trump told NBC. He added: “Don’t forget, we just found out about all of these F.B.I. agents being there.”

Mr. Trump appeared to be referring to reports in conservative media that 274 plainclothes F.B.I. agents were at the Capitol during the pro-Trump riot on Jan. 6, 2021, leading Mr. Trump, Kari Lake and others to accuse the agency of being involved in an inside job aimed at inciting a riot and framing Trump supporters.

Those claims are false.

The Department’s inspector general has already found that there is no evidence that undercover agents were in the crowd when the riot broke out.


This follows his attack on former FBI Director James Comey.   Barry Grey (WSWS) notes:


The indictment of former FBI director James Comey on Thursday is a significant step in the establishment of a personalist presidential dictatorship under Donald Trump. By moving to jail his opponents within the political establishment, Trump is seeking to consolidate his power to smash the democratic rights of the working class.

“This is what prosecutors do in dictatorships,” said Richard W. Painter, a law professor at the University of Minnesota who served as the chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, in a social media post.

In addition to James and Schiff, Trump and members of his administration have called for criminal investigations of former CIA Director John Brennan, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. After issuing a presidential memorandum Thursday calling for a crackdown against “radical left terrorism,” Trump explicitly named billionaire Democratic donors George Soros and Reid Hoffman as likely targets.


The issue was discussed on Sunday morning's FACE THE NATION (CBS).




MARGARET BRENNAN: And we're joined now by Ty Cobb. He served as White House special counsel for just under a year during the first Trump administration, helping to coordinate the response to Robert Mueller's probe of Russian influence on the 2016 election.

Good morning to you.

TY COBB (Former White House Special Counsel to the President): Good morning, Margaret. Thanks for having me.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we saw this action against former FBI Director James Comey this past week and he was indicted on two charges specific to his September 2020 testimony to Congress about Russian election meddling in 2016. The so-called crossfire hurricane.

In your view, from what you've heard of this case, do you think it has enough substance to actually head to trial?

TY COBB: I don't really. You know, as you and Senator Kaine discussed briefly moments ago, that the grand jury rejected one of the counts, the top count actually in the indictment, approved two, but by a very slim margin, 14 out of 23, in a process where there's no defense attorney in the room and the standard is merely probable cause. You know, the next courtroom that this will be assessed in, if it gets to trial, requires unanimity from 12 people, and – and there will be a vigorous defense. I don't see any way in the world that, you know, Comey would be convicted. And I think there's a good chance because of, you know, the wholly unconstitutional authoritarian way that this was done that the case may get tossed out well before trial.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Wholly unconstitutional and authoritarian. That's – that's quite a description. You used to work for President Trump. What makes you now characterize his actions that way?

TY COBB: That's true. I used to work – well, I used to work at the White House as – as a lawyer, you know, interacting with the Justice Department in the Mueller investigation and other matters. And I was not Trump's personal lawyer.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.

TY COBB: So, my role was really, you know, as a – as a government employee and not personal to the – to the president. He did have personal lawyers.

But, you know, at the time, you know, I was trying to perform the duties that were assigned to me. In this – in this circumstance, you know, I'm eight years removed from that. I don't – I don't have any allegiances or reasons to, you know, say anything other than balls and strikes.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

TY COBB: And, you know, former Attorney General Jackson, Justice Jackson, Nuremberg prosecutor, himself highlighted in 1940 that the most important thing at the Justice Department, when he was attorney general, was that people not target individuals. That they merely pursue crimes. Griffin Bell, you know, years later, 1978, you know, said essentially the same thing, emphasized how, you know, political – politics and, you know, favor have no business at the Justice Department.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

TY COBB: It's all about even handedness. And I think we talked about the misrepresentations that Attorney General Bondi made about how she would proceed evenhandedly and, you know, she's wholly abandoned that now and is now merely doing the president's bidding when he says prosecute my enemies now.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes. Well, "The New York Times" is reporting that half a dozen U.S. attorneys' offices have been ordered to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros, who is a Democratic donor. You look at that, you look at the lists of names of others who the president has said he specifically wants to be prosecuted or investigated. I'll read a few of them to you. Two former Trump officials, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. He also said he wants a federal investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith. The DOJ fired the 35 lawyers who were involved in the January 6th and classified documents cases. The Justice Department is now going after Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis' travel records. We have quite an exhaustive list here. What is the pattern you see?

TY COBB: Well, I think if you go to 30,000 feet, what you see is a lot of moving parts, but simple themes. The simple themes are rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so that, you know, the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection, refused to peacefully transfer the power of the presidency after losing an election, stole classified documents and showed them to, you know, friends and guests at Mar-a-Lago. You know, and that – that he was a criminal. I mean, he's a convicted felon. All – all anybody involved in those events that offended him, they're in – they're in real danger.

So, you have the rewriting of history stuff. You know, the U.S. attorney that he appointed his personal lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, you know, her – her role previously in the administration was, you know, trying to eliminate the theory that, you know, America, you know, had slaves at the Smithsonian. She was there to, you know, whitewash the Smithsonian.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

TY COBB: And paint America as – paint American as something that – that it isn't. I mean America needs to learn from the mistakes and lessons that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that – that America ever had was re-electing President Trump.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, a number of Republican lawmakers are declining to speak out and are leaving the door open that these cases are legitimate. Do you think that the judicial system can resist what you are saying here as just simply politically motivated pressure?

TY COBB: I think that's an excellent question. I think, you know, the founders, when they – when they drafted the Constitution, Article One is to Congress and Congress has the greatest powers under the Constitution. Spending power, war power, impeachment. Congress is really there to check the presidency.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

TY COBB: Congress has been neutered by the cowardice of the Republicans. Mike Johnson won't even seat – recently elected Representative Grijalva because he doesn't want her to tip the balance on the – on the Epstein vote.

MARGARET BRENNAN: OK.

TY COBB: So, Congress is totally in the tank and the judiciary is doing – doing its best.


With Chump in the White House, every day is a challenge.  David Corn (MOTHER JONES) offers an explanation of how not only is the action wrong but it's also wrong in that Chump and his minion haven't even got the Cruz-Comey questioning right.  Michael Tomasky (THE NEW REPUBLIC) observes: 


Trump, far from being the victim of witch hunts, is the orchestrator of them. But even he has never sunk this low. This is a crime against the best values of this republic. It is a profoundly un-American act. And so far, the entire Republican Party, and the vast propaganda network that gets to call itself “the press” and enjoy the protections of the First Amendment, are complicit.

This is just the beginning. Trumped-up indictments of Adam Schiff and Letitia James are presumably coming. And then George Soros, for funding “terrorism.” Who’s next? Who knows. To Trump, all these people hate America. But the one who actually hates America is the man who is so ignorant and dismissive of its highest principles that he thinks he’s entitled to use the justice system to destroy people he doesn’t like. And history will remember who that is.

You need to be making sure that your friends and family are registered -- as are your yourself -- because this is a very dangerous time and the November 2026 mid-terms are a must.  This country is in grave danger due to Chump and others who think the law doesn't matter.
