Don't spend one minute trolling about Comey in 2016

Today we must stand against current political prosecutions

1. We wouldn't even be worrying about political prosecutions if it hadn't been for him.

Seriously.

It's 2025.

We're dealt the hand we've been given, and it's not good.

3. Trump knows he wouldn't be president without Comey's colossal mistake.

So Trump hates Comey for that reason, he doesn’t like people to know he’s a loser

9. I really don't care why Comey hates Trump. The Trumpsters want political prosecutions

and we must fight back

It's a gigantic mistake to say "I hate this guy so I'll the Nazis do whatever they want with him"

Obviously, Comey shouldn’t be prosecuted

8. I agree, we know Trump is only going after Comey because Trump is a vindictive bully. Who is next?

He is taking on Comey first as he knows many Dems dislike him so Trump thinks we will be ok with it. We cannot allow this bullshit to continue just because we dislike (hate) Comey.

what Trump is trying to do to him is outrageous, and I hope the grand jury returns a no-bill and that he sues for malicious prosecution. Same goes for the FBI raid on John Bolton's house - I'm not a fan of his either, but that was nothing but revenge. Trump's Department Of No Justice Whatsoever needs to be pulled up short, and I hope in these retributive cases the courts will do as they've been doing in Trump's bullshit defamation cases.
