Ex-FBI director Comey says prosecutors face 'intense pressure' to deliver Trump charging decision before 2024

[Social Media]

Former FBI Director James Comey said in an interview that aired Sunday that he predicts prosecutors are facing "intense pressure" to come up with a charging decision with regard to former President Donald Trump before he can possibly become the GOP nominee for president in 2024. 

Comey, who was abruptly fired by Trump in 2017 while leading the FBI investigation into whether Trump and his allies colluded with Russian in the 2016 election, recently sat down with President Joe Biden's former White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, for an interview that aired Sunday on Psaki's MSNBC show.

We all know that they are doing this. It is a weaponized agency, persecuting/bullying/harassing the man the left are terrified of running against in 2024 to stop him from being able to run, while simultaneously running cover for biden. Just surprised to see a credible insider state the facts out loud like this.

 

 A 2nd Trump term is necessary to restore justice and the public's faith in the DOJ to start acting impartially to stop all crime - not just crime by conservatives.

Yes, sir, it is weaponized, it is armed with the constitution and the law.

It's very easy to prove whether there is bias against Trump or whether he is treated the same as anyone else. Just check how many decades old nonsensical non-violent incidents without any evidence cases were resumed as a matter of urgency. Only Trump, nobody else. All this while (DA Bragg in this instance)being famous for refusing to charge violent criminals and being soft on violent crime. It's very basic proof there is blatant double standards in the biden regime's DOJ.

 

Double standards are not good in a developed countries justice system.

Comey lost all cred IMO prior to the 2016 election.  He should avoid the media, the buffoon.

"without any evidence"?  What cases are you referring to?  There is abundant evidence against Trump regarding stealing and mishandling classified, inciting an attack on the Capital, attempting to subvert election results by pressuring state officials and creating fraudulent electors, etc.

When the facts are against you, I guess your only recourse is to go to motives. A special prosecutor appointed by William Barr, the man who lied about the Mueller report,  spent 4 years trying to prove that anti-Trump prejudice was behind the Justice Dept's actions, and he failed miserably.

I've got some exciting news for you; DA Bragg is the DA for Manhattan, one of the 5 boroughs (counties) of NY City. He is not an agent of the Federal Govt.

Don’t tell me, Comey has a whistleblower….. somewhere or other.

BS.

 

As usual, you are all mouth and no trousers, and will grab any straw to blame anybody and everybody for anything, except Trump.

 

As I write on most of your posts. Where is your proof?

Ex-FBI director Comey says prosecutors face 'intense pressure' to deliver Trump charging decision before 2024

It's not easy being a Trump prosecutor.  The number of crimes you have to choose from can be overwhelming.

 

"A decision by then-President Donald Trump’s campaign to spend more than $1 million for two firms to study whether electoral fraud occurred in the 2020 election has become an increasing focus of federal and state investigators in recent weeks, according to people familiar with the matter."

 

"Knowledge of the reports in recent months has given prosecutors new witnesses who have described exactly how theories about electoral fraud were debunked in writing, and have said that many campaign and White House advisers knew of the research. The 29-page report from Berkeley and Block’s research show that some of the claims had been debunked even before Trump’s advisers made them publicly."    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/06/05/trump-funded-studies-disputing-election-fraud-are-focus-two-probes/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most

 

I hope someone can find a non-paywall link.  It's an interesting read; Trump and company were told there early on by their own investigators that there was no evidence of fraud but chose to ignore it.

Without that privilege shield, former officials must answer questions about their interactions and conversations with the former president, including what he was told about the lack of evidence for election fraud and the legal remedies he could pursue.

 

That line of questioning goes to the heart of Smith’s challenge in any criminal case he might bring – to prove that Trump and his allies pursued their efforts despite knowing their fraud claims were false or their gambits weren’t lawful.

I know I'm pushing my luck on quotes from the article, but I think this one additional sentence is important:

 

"What prosecutors have sought to show, according to people who have been questioned, is that Trump and aides willfully ignored evidence in their push to raise money and overturn the election, and that a panoply of advisers had access to the data."

 

The Trump team not only ignored evidence the election was legitimate, they covered up that evidence so they could use the "stolen election" lie to raise money.

 

The man really needs to be in prison.

I will exclude sexual predator Trump's jury-proven sexual assault case where it was a violent incident and there was evidence.

 

But I do mention it because as many other sexual assault cases have been resumed under the NY Survivors Act.

 

This proves that there was no bias against Trump and he was treated like everyone else with that case.

 

The double standards are in this case where Trump has been appointed  a special counsel, which is far more assistance than any other common criminal would get.

 

The DOJ is pussy-footing around and is being overly cautious where he should have indicted Trump months ago.

Even Barr agrees with you...

"Over time, people will see that this is not a case of the Department of Justice conducting a witch hunt,” Barr said in an interview on CBS Tuesday. “In fact, they approached this very delicately and with deference to the president, and this would have gone nowhere had the president just returned the documents. But he jerked them around for a year and a half.”
