So glad these clowns took the high road and didn't push to prosecute a fucking insurrection. So glad the FBI was complicit in these honey pots with epstein and that they didn't push to prosecute or leak anything while the orange clown was running for POTUS.
Really, top tier work sticking to your principles at the cost of our fragile democracy.
"86" just means to toss them out of the establishment (like restaurant or whitehouse). If it was "187 47" then there might be something to bite into, otherwise it's just a nothing burger only existing for the further distraction from the trump/epstein files and the realization that your dear leader is nothing more than a self-serving pedophile.
What effing judge signed that warrant???
Don't need a judge for an 'administrative' warrant, haven't you been paying attention?
In the US, the government cannot use an administrative warrant to enforce a Criminal law
This is the US, rules for thee, not for me.
Only if we stand for it
And they’re only getting to this now because they were spending time going after all of those rednecks with the lifelike “Biden tied up in the back of my truck” tailgate stickers, right?
I’ve seen that, plus a couple bumper stickers saying “FUCK Joe and the Hoe” where FUCK is spelled out jn the silhouette of rifles and handguns.
No? You’re allowed to do that from a legal perspective, if everyone hates you or you lose your job or something that’s just social repercussions but the federal government isn’t pursuing legal charges over it.
Seems like an overt threat to kidnap a President, certainly more overt than four fucking numbers.
I don’t disagree but the Feds won’t persecute you for it, it’s not illegal.
LMAO. Come after me next: #8647 #86thefatorangeturd
The president is committing war crimes and the FBI is charging the former FBI director over an insta post from a year ago, clearly suggesting impeachment.
From the headline, I was imagining that he had used broken seashells to physically threaten Trump.
So the DOJ is hoping that nobody on the jury knows that 86 means to give someone the bum's rush, not to kill them.
Even then, if it were a threat, which it isn't, it's in no way actionable.
This will never reach the jury. There won't even be a Day 2. The judge will toss this immediately.
This time, yes. But eventually, they're going to get a MAGA judge, and someone will go to political prison. That will set a precedent.
seems like a direct violation of his first amendment rights.
unless he comes out and says what it means, it's subjective art that is up to interpretation.
true but even if you say “i think x should die” you’re still within your rights. none of “thinking” is actionable.
It's going to be so funny when this is thrown out.
Even if it wasn't, it's like the most open and shut case for innocence. All he has to say is "I thought it meant that Trump should be impeached."
Obviously it would be super worrisome if we even get to that stage, but this is retarded and such a waste of time.
Even if it ment he should be killed. That standard would be applied right back to trump. Trump has called for far worse explicitly violent things to happen to others. The president isn't above the law. And I hate Comey. Dude is a racist and spearheaded many FBI task forces that attacked minorities and left wing communities. But the 8647 narrative is so laughable.
Gonna cry if it isn’t because rules don’t matter in trumpland.
To me, this is the guy that did a dirty to Hillary a week before her election with trump, but now he's trump's enemy?
He "seemed" to pretty quickly regret whatever role he might have played in trump winning. Comey was always trying to maintain a low profile after trump got sworn in and didn't really try to buddy up to him or take advantage of it like one would expect.
This gets laughed out of court, right? Right?
Yes, but it is intended as harassment, not "justice".
He still needs a lawyer, he can't just ignore it.
Absolutely, it's obviously a desperation Hail Mary play, but not before Comey spends several thousand dollars on lawyers, after spending a whole lot to defend himself the last time.
Perhaps there is a family strategy at play. His daughter was fired as a Federal prosecutor, after working on high profile cases like Epstein. She is now sueing the DoJ, and will probably win, so maybe she can use some of that government money to cover her Dad's legal bills.
He should also sue for malicious prosecution.
8647 should become a popular T-shirt. Pretty hard to convict one person for something that is widespread in the popular culture.
I have an 86 45 shirt I used to wear during the first term. When the comey bullshit first hit the news, my father called me and told me how I shouldn’t wear violent messages, told me that I’d better watch my back if I wore something like that again. I hung up and ordered an 86 47 shirt. Wearing it today in fact.
It's already an incredibly popular sign at every No Kings protest or just random local protests in general.
Even if it was just Comey who did it, this doesn't constitute a direct or actionable threat. 86 is kitchen jargon to get rid of something, and one interpretation of that could be to kill, but another could be to get rid of him using the legal channels already in place (impeachment, invoking 25th amendment, etc.).
This indictment has no legs and will get tossed out before any competent judge.
Some seashells laid out in 86 47.
jfc, it took me wayyyyy to long to figure it was just like.. "kick out '47".
I thought it was some crazy complicated code. No. Just 86.
First they came for…
Aww fuck it; they’re coming for anyone speaking ill of the orange fat fucking turd shitstain now.
And I stand by that assessment.
He sells seashells.
There needs to be a loud campaign educating people on jury nullification.
And a judge ok’d this warrant?
There’s an old saying about grand juries that also applies to a great many judges: They would indict a ham sandwich if the DA asked them to.
This guy doesn't know about the shells!!!
Wow, distraction time again, since this happened more than a year ago.
Mango's annual schedule of follow-ups must be based on his Facebook "on this day"
But the emails.
