Blanche confirms the DOJ has more evidence against Comey than just his '8647' post

"What he did was perfectly legal"

~ SloRidePro

If this makes it to trial, won't Comey HAVE to testify? If the prosecution survives the Motion to Dismiss, won't Comey have to deny that "86" wasn't a threat?

What about our panicans who are mad about no perp walks who now suddenly feel Comey is being treated unfairly?

I HOPE that this means that they used the “8647” charge to get him to turn himself in and that they have more serious and better charges to hang him with…

So they have nothing.

Designed to fail, just like all the other law suits. Todd Blanche is an actor reading a script, just like everyone else in Washington.

Then why did they only charge the seashell thing in the indictment?

The other stuff will obviously be used to establish intent, "counselor."

Maybe the case isn't as weak as you have been insisting it is, eh? Of course it isn't. You're fricking clueless in every post you ever make.

It takes a special kind of fricking idiot to laugh because a case has flimsy evidence and then complain when they say they have more evidence to being to trial.

I shouldn't have to tell a "lawyer" this, but threat cases hinge on proving that the defendant knowingly and willingly made a true threat (not hyperbole, art, or protected speech). In order to do this, they will need to establish a pattern and prove intent. These will include prior statements, patterns of behavior, witnesses, documents, or other materials showing Comey's mindset or that this wasn't innocuous. This will be the additional evidence Blanche speaks of. Very obviously.

Why only charge him for the one thing? I'm assuming because they have enough evidence to prove his intent with the post based on the above patterns of evidence and don't want or need to charge him with anything else for fear if overcharging him.

Capone went down for tax evasion. Sending out a coded hit order on the POTUS is considerably more serious than that.

He didn't confirm anything. He claimed that there was more evidence. I guess we will see once Comey files his Motion to Dismiss.

When asked what more the DOJ had, he said it would not be fair to either side to go into details.
