Attorney General Pam Bondi, “No one is above the law.”
What are you on about? SCOTUS literally ruled that the president is above the law.
And she went out of her way to shield Epstein from prosecution when she was Attorney General of Florida
The current administration could say the sky is blue and clouds are white, and I would not believe them, because tomorrow they’ll say both are green, and demand that all books are changed to collaborate this.

During a brief hearing, a judge announced the new case against Comey and said publicly that 14 jurors agreed to indict on the counts of false statements in the jurisdiction of a congressional proceeding and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
Certainly next in line will be the conservative supreme court justices who brazenly lied to congress in their confirmation hearings, right?
Surprising since Comey’s incompetence was a huge part of Trump’s 2016 victory.
Edit: I should add that this is still enormously fucked up, and hopefully this event will chip away another couple percent of his national approval, which is a necessary first step to change. Also please keep on message with releasing the Epstein files.
Considering how grand juries are done. I . Do. Not. Care.
In a grand jury the prosecutor gets to present what ever evidence they want. If 99 people say hey he didn’t do it and one says he did, the prosecutor doesn’t have to even mention the fact that those 99 people even exist to the jury.
The prosecutor can pick and choose ANY evidence they choose to show to the jury. There is no one there to object to any of the evidence for ANY reason. Nothing. Zero.
It’s just the prosecutor telling what ever story they choose. No one to argue about it.
Ask any attorney and they will tell you even a half way decent attorney can get a watermelon convicted of murder. And that’s during a regular trial. In a grand jury there is NO defense attorney to object to anything. Yeah going to be real hard to get someone indicted on a grand jury.
Do people/ prosecutors fail to get an indictment in front of a grand jury? Yes. So then I have to ask, just how dammed weak was your case if you can’t even win when there is no defense?
Yeah failing to get an indictment from a grand jury is an impressive form of failure.
Which has become surprisingly common lately under the Trump regime
I was once told by the prosecutor that I didn’t need to vote on a case because I “expressed distrust of the officer’s testimony”. I asked for clarification. “Okay, I don’t need to, but am I allowed to?” “No, you’re not”.
Pretty sure that was highly illegal and unethical behavior. She sent me to see the judge in a manner very similar to the principal’s office. He said I didn’t do anything wrong. I ended up not making a big problem out of it, but I bet I could have.
I then went back and voted on the remainder of the cases. They seemed pretty legit other than that, but I was certainly a no vote on a couple charges. And I made them show evidence other than just “officer testimony”. Luckily body cam footage was abundant.
Bodycam footage has got to be one of the best measures ever implemented.
It’s a huge step towards accountable police forces, as we’ve seen in so many police abuse cases. Now we need to overturn their immunity, so that the murderers and abusive power tripping assholes don’t get to just walk away freely.
But it also works to defend the police, and there’s so much bodycam footage on YouTube of people acting like massive dickwads, and I swear to god, the restraint on many officers is godlike, I’d have bashed their faces by the 2nd time they called me something wildly abusive, let alone hear it 100 times over 30 minutes and still remain calm.
Every accusation is an admission.
The randomly blocked text is more annoying than anything else.
At least these make “no king” and “aged”.
more annoying than anything else
For being to fucking sexy am I right?
Was it for the 86 thing?
For lying in testimony he gave to Congress.
False statements under oath to Congress. It’s a weak case.
On or about September 30, 2020, in the Eastern District of Virginia, the defendant, JAMES B. COMEY JR., did willfully and knowingly make a materially false, Fictitious, and fraudulent statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the Government of the United Stales, by falsely stating to a U.S. Senator during a Senate Judiciaiy Committee hearing that he, JAMES B. COMEY JR., had not “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports" regarding an FBI investigation concerning PERSON 1.
The case is weak because Comey’s deputy Andrew McCabe testified under oath that he (McCabe) decided to leak, and only told Comey about it afterwards. This shit, both Comey’s statements and McCabe’s, are all on the public record. It’s not hard to run down, unless you live in Fox News cuckoo land.
And notably none of those statements contradict each other like they’re trying to claim.
They’re trying to say Comey lied about authorizing the leak, but McCabe already admitted that he did that. Comey knew about the leak after the fact and they both testified as such.
Any real prosecutor wouldn’t bother spending a second on this. But this has no basis in reality its weaponizing the DOJ for political reasons, which Trump already admitted he was going to do, publicly telling the DOJ to do so.
Yep. McCabe and Comey corroborate each other, and there’s nothing else on the public record to contradict.
It’s why the first DA for Northern Virginia got fired. They wouldn’t indict Comey on this bullshit.
And the new US attorney has a background in insurance law, this is her first felony prosecution ever, and she presented the case to the grand jury herself.
She might just be way out of her depth here and in for a rude awakening. Comey is bringing some pretty high powered legal representation.
For reference, PERSON 1 is Hillary Clinton, and the “FBI investigation” was the buttery males shit.
It was also super important to get this indictment done this week, because on September 30, 2025, the 5 year statute of limitations would have run out.
Remember when he got trump elected by dumping a bunch of Hillary’s emails right before the election? Yea it’s almost like he created the monster that will destroy us all….enjoy your bed
