The lawlessness of Donald Trump's Department of Justice continues, unbated. The DOJ just vindictively indicted James Comey, again!Recall that a federal judge threw out the last indictment against Comey. As ABC News reported: "James Comey indicted again, this time over seashell Instagram post. Trump claimed the "86 47" written in seashells was an assassination threat."This indictment is also destined to be thrown out, for two reasons. First and foremost: James Comey committed no crime. Second, James Comey has a due process right against being vindictively prosecuted.To prove he committed no crime, James Comey could call as his first witness at trial . . . the dictionary. This from the Merriam Webster dictionary:"86 is slang meaning to throw out, to get rid of, or to refuse service too. It comes from the 1930s soda counter slang, meaning that an item was sold out .The other thing likely motivating this indictment is that Pam Bondi got fired, and the prevailing wisdom is because she didn't successfully prosecute any of Donald Trump's perceived enemies. So this looks like Todd Blanche's desperate attempt to keep his job as acting Attorney General by prosecuting Trump's perceived enemies.Today - Glenn chats about this with his good friend from MSNBC- Katie Phang.
