Standard mindless attack from Bass. I never did hear your theory about how I joined in 2020, but somehow I am an alter for Aggie Hank who was active fairly recently.

I think the only thing you have ever corrected me on (and I thanked you for it), was when I thought the non-removal order for Abrego Garcia might have only applied to Guatemala because of the writing in the opinion of the 2019 Immigration Judge.

If you ever have anything factually to add to a conversation I will respond. Other than that, I won't waste time responding to your insults.

After reading comments on this thread and reading additional analysis, I can wrap this up and enjoy high school football.

Russiagate was a horrible hoax. People should be hanged for it.

This indictment of Comey has nothing to do with that. It is about whether or not Comey authorized McCabe to leak the Clinton emails story to the Wall Street Journal. Even according to McCabe, Comey didn't "authorize" that leak: he approved of it AFTER it happened.

I wish they had indicted Comey for any of his many crimes. This indictment won't result in a conviction for anything...much less for Russiagate.

This Fox legal analyst (who wrote an entire book on how horrible the RussiaGate hoax was) nailed it:

"I don't think there's a case," Fox News contributor Andrew McCarthy said on "Mornings with Maria" Friday. "The Russiagate stuff, I'm as big a critic of that probably as there is. I wrote a book about it. I think it was a disgrace and history will remember it that way. This indictment is not about that."

So this is gonna be a MAGA fail?

Not for MAGA, but for the Trump DOJ....unless they supplement or amend the indictment.

You are absolutely right on the first point and 100 percent right on the second.

Complete speculation. None of us know at this point.

Maybe. But if he leaked does it matter?

You can only be convicted of what you are accused of (except in Trump’s bogus biz records trial, where I am still not sure what the underlying crime was). Comey is not being accused of leaking anything. He is accused of lying about authorizing someone else to leak.

BUT, he would guilty if he lied about that...even if it's about the WSJ leak that helped Trump.

That would spoil Aggie Hank’s concern troll.

I took so much pride in being the 100th down vote!!!

And I have a hard time believing that the amateur hour blonde is going to get a conviction over James Comey’s defense team.

When you take a shot at a former FBI Director, you take a much better shot than this.

This is going to be an embarrassment.

It's not a concern. With all the criminal acts that Comey did with RussiaGate, I'm just disappointed that the only thing the DOJ could get an indictment is a very weak case that has nothing to do with RussiaGate.
