Read the statute. The title of a statute is not the law. Basic cannon of statutory construction.

quote:

(a) (1) Whoever— (A) assaults, kidnaps, or murders, or attempts or conspires to kidnap or murder, or threatens to assault, kidnap or murder a member of the immediate family of a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under section 1114 of this title; or (B) threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder, a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under such section, with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with such official, judge, or law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such official, judge, or law enforcement officer on account of the performance of official duties, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).


There are several other variants of this statute as well, including 18 USC Sects. 871 and 875. Clearly enough to put together a multi-count indictment against Comey.

How did he threaten to assault, kidnap, or murder?

Dude is an idiot but no court would find that saying “86” is an attempt to threaten, assault, or kidnap.

The left blames Comey for Clinton losing, nobody is going to bat for him.

“threatens to … murder… a United States Official.”

We’ll see what a federal jury thinks. Comey was involved in mafia prosecutions where the NY mob used 86 as a code word to order hits. All of that evidence is relevant to his mens rea.

Come on, bro. 86 isn’t known exclusively as murder. It’s not 187.

Comey is a douche and he should be shamed, but he didn’t commit a crime and no court will find him guilty if a crime no matter how much we want them to.

Question of fact. Let a jury decide. That’s what the Left said when Trump was being prosecuted in DC for January 6th.

I never did think anything would happen to him.


It still blows my mind that the former HEAD of the FBI would openly call for the assassination of a president.

If there were any question that the FBI is compromised...........
