What The Comey Case Is For

So interesting to hear @LindseyGrahamSC frame the Comey case as being about the Trump Russia investigation, when actually it’s about whether Comey lied about authorizing someone to leak about another matter entirely. For MAGA, these charges are a way to punish Comey for alleged wrongdoing in the Russia investigation, despite the fact that he was cleared in that matter first by an inspector general and then by a Trump-appointed special counsel.

(And Graham is now officially beyond “useless as tits on a boar hog.”).

McCarthy: I love Ted but McCabe never said that Comey authorized it.

They're not going to be able to prove he authorized the leak. By all accounts he didn't. I don't think this case even gets to trial. pic.twitter.com/mpLouSuZ19

Strassel: While I think a lot of Americans would love to see some sort of accountability for James Comey… I'm not sure this particular charge is the way to go about it. In part because I'm not sure it's actually going to stick in the end and that will leave a lot of disappointed… pic.twitter.com/VAppUWrSYC

Popehat:

/2 In my view a vindictive prosecution motion would be the best vehicle because the lack of evidence could be a factor in the court’s assessment of whether the case is driven by animus.

If Andrew McCarthy and I agree your case sucks, it really sucks.
