Well, is that not exactly what Elon Musk did in reverse?
I mean, yes, that is currently how our campaign finance system works.
Boy, I don't know if we've ever been here.
I suppose there may have been other examples where we have seen that.
But it is contrary to this idea of predication, which is designed to eliminate all that sort of stuff.
I can remember when I was serving as U.S.
attorney, we would frequently get calls saying,
from supporters of political campaigns who wanted to share dirt on their rivals.
They just wanted us to open an investigation so that then there could be a headline.
They'd even say to us in the call, so my rival did X, Y, and Z. Are you going to open an investigation?
Because then they would be the leak in a newspaper report that their rival was under investigation because that's all they really wanted was the specter of an investigation.
And that concept is so consistent with some of the things we've seen from Donald Trump
Remember when he had the exchange with Vladimir Zelensky back in the subject of the first impeachment, where he said, all I want you to do is go on CNN and announce that the Biden family is under investigation.
And then remember when the 2020 election, he was claiming fraud and he asked his Justice Department, just say there was fraud and leave the rest to me and Republicans in Congress.
What it seems to me he really wants is let's just announce this thing because that will dirty them up.
In some ways, it feels like that's what's happening to Jim Comey right now.
Well, you know, it would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous.
But I do think that there are a number of things that are red flags.
I mean, first, the process of it all.
Right.
