Well, that was quick and achieved nothing.
Well, it got an effective lawyer to resign in one of the most important jurisdictions in the country, so there’s that.
I’m guessing comey had to pay for lawyers out of his pocket, so it hurts him. I’m also guessing they’re going to use the justice department to continue to harass him so he has to continue using his money to fight it. That’s always been trump’s MO; just abuse the justice system until the person you’re fighting runs out of money.
What Trump is doing is despicable.
That said, Comey is a POS that helped usher in Trump’s first term.
Sooooo, I don’t give a shit about him going broke.
I agree, I only care that it’s happening to comey because trump is going to do the same thing to others who didn’t get their faces eaten by leopards.
I am sure the President will have an entirely reasonable and prudent reaction to this news.
There’s a first time for everything, right?! Actually, I’m sure he’s happy with this once his actual legal advisers informed him how bad discovery would be for him.
He fired all the competent legal advisors, though…
If course he did! They kept on disagreeing with him, and saying things like “we can’t do that” and “that’s not a valid case” and, really, just being unhelpful and disloyal.
It’d be funny to discover that some of the inept staff are just messing with him to limit his damage and also keep their jobs so they can forward stuff on all the dirty dealers to prosecution, later in the rebuild.
