Were these before or after Comey's instagram photo? It seems interesting given what I think the Comey Indictment is about.
The new case stems from a photograph of seashells on a North Carolina beach.
And more perhaps ..
The indictment had multiple charges.
www.justice.gov
871(a) - threat
875(c) - forfeiture of proceeds
The way indicment appears to be framed as in the context of Comey's marketing for book "FDR Drive" which is about the line between free speech and criminal incitement, or on a First Amendment battle over "incitement". So its kind of comical, in fact he might have been motivated to do this for financial gain.
Similar to Amazon?
Context: Same day as 86image, at the beach, Comey had another image on Insta where he was reading his book "FDR drive".
Not sure of the legality of this all, but
The other thing Democrats should do is support for Free National Voter ID, which would force Republicans to oppose Free National Voter ID, something Republicans already oppose, but nobody ever forces them to explain why.

This is an oddity. At a dinner party on Saturday I brought this issue up and none of the Republicans could articulate why this is a problem, though there were no Democrats able to articulate a reason either.
Because Democrats don't seem to like it either?
"There are only three problems with a national ID: Republicans hate it, Libertarians hate it, and Democrats hate it," says Kathleen Unger, the founder of VoteRiders, an organization devoted to helping people obtain ID.

Rather old but will the ACLU change its mind? This is in regard to the 9/11 Commission report.
"We all want a country that is as safe as possible," said Marvin Johnson, an ACLU Legislative Counsel. "But 'Big Brother' provisions such as a national ID card would only serve to restrict our freedoms and invade our privacy and do nothing to ensure our security."

Regarding the topic, this is just "dust" its obfuscation, just look at what Spanberger did, campaigned in the middle, went CRAZY with taxation on NEW taxes on electric landscaping equipment.
Have you noticed he's never even acknowledged the half dozen voter suppression tactics I've posted again and again?

I recall the one about Georgia, but then they had record turn out.
While you claim lots of things, the data rarely supports your claims.

Indictment: "The SPLC's Paid Informants Network"
#26 | POSTED BY SYCOPHANT
Where does it say that? Only one time does it use the word "informant", the indictment calls them "field sources".
www.justice.gov
We all know the truth from the indictment, they were paying leaders and organizers of the KKK, NAZI organizations, the Grand Wizard of the Knights of the KKK.
The informants weren't just lowlevel "informing" on the groups, they were sometimes at the direction of the SPLC fostering, creating and organizing events. But mostly the leaders of such organizations. Read the Indicment.
Finally if they were on the up and up "just giving data" to the SPLC; the SPLC wouldn't have gone into such contortions to hid the fact of these payments behind fake accounting entries. They'd be honest about the entries.
You just can't admit there's such little organized racism in the US that the SPLC had to manufacture it in order to keep its nonprofit status to get public money, because it was earning so much from its endowment. Which beyond certain ratios would lose its non-profit status.
Meanwhile, the Israeli regime has openly and repeatedly called for the destruction of Palestine and Gaza, and continues to support groups that carry out attacks killing Palestinians and Gazans.
The IDF parsed Palestinians reasons and excuses for "from river to the sea" and murdering concert goers in cold blood and concluded Palestinians were okay with Palestinians dying.
