James Comey to be interviewed by the US Secret Service

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be escorted by US Secret Service agents to their Washington Field Office on Friday afternoon, according to a law enforcement source. Comey will be interviewed by agents investigating a social media post he posted Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out "86 47," which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency, according to the law enforcement source. Comey is not in custody and is appearing voluntarily, the source said. It is expected that Comey will be asked if he intended the message as a threat, or to inspire others who might consider an act of violence against Trump, the source said. Ultimately, a decision on whether the case is chargeable as a threat against the president may lie with the US attorney in Washington.

What a stupid waste of resources.

Especially from the people who think using guns to shoot s*&^ in political ads isn't a threat or insinuation of violence but suddenly a common phrase for "get rid of" is a threat...

MAGA is pathetic.

They 100% must set up a perjury trap and toss this piece of ---- in jail. That is what he would be doing so give him a taste of his own medicine. Also, I would assume this would now justify lifetime government surveillance and being put on the no-fly list.

Hare Krishna Sect Cult Member Tulsi Gabbard said "James Comey should be put behind bars for issuing a hit on Trumpf."

The Trumpf junta ruined their own prosecution of James Comey should the case ever come to trial. Defense counsel would argue prejudicial publicity.

In 1970, President Richard Nixon realized he made an an off-the-cuff comment that Charles Manson, the California hippie-cult leader, was guilty, directly or indirectly, of "eight murders without reason."

While Air Force One circled Washington for nearly a half hour Monday night on a flight from Denver, Nixon drafted a statement that declared, "The last thing I would do is prejudice the legal rights of any person, in any circumstances."

Manson's defense attorneys had asked a Los Angeles judge to declare a mistrial, alleging prejudicial publicity. The court denied the initial motion "without prejudice," wanting to make certain what Nixon actually said.

@#5 ... ruined their own prosecution ...

Possibly.

It depends upon how long the Judicial Branch continues to stand up to Pres Trump.

Hi Lamplighter: Possibly is right. There are some attorneys on Drudge Retort who could probably weigh in on this better than me.
