Trump’s America.
The Comey Case.
Elizabeth Warren.
Trump demanded Comey be charged.

A veteran prosecutor resigned rather than bend the knee.
And then Trump hand-picked an aide who’d do it anyway.
Using the justice system to go after a political opponent is what dictators do.
It’s Comey today, but it could be anyone tomorrow.
David Frum’s broader view on why Trump indicted former FBI chief, Comey.👇
“The charges against Comey are not just about the president’s abuse of his power for personal retribution. They represent a test of the president’s plans for the future,” @DavidFrum argues: https://t.co/q8Z8yKmJbm

NOW? Trump wants to raise healthcare costs by OVER 75%.

Good news.
Justice prevailed, at least for now.

Probable cause is legally sufficient to obtain an indictment, but DOJ policy requires more–evidence sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction. That means proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Comey case fails this test. Here’s the manual.  pic.twitter.com/oyhfRri6J0

Barb McQuade also said. “This case won’t even make it to a jury. Rule 29 permits judge to grant motion to acquit for lack of evidence.”
