Jamie Raskin

attorney, Mr. Siebert, who was originally charged with investigating James Comey and came back with the conclusion that there was not remotely enough evidence to prosecute for any offense.

So under a system of a rule of law, that would have been the end of the story.

But instead, President Trump decided that there wasn't a problem with his case.

There was a problem with the prosecutor and decided to sack this Republican U.S.

attorney who demonstrated complete fidelity to the rule of law.

Then he replaces him with a handpicked sycophant underling

who never had had a day working as a prosecutor, who gets into office and, what do you know, dusts off the exact indictment that had been rejected by the U.S.

attorney and decides to indict James Comey for it.

So, the good news is, I think there's very little chance he could ever be convicted, because it's so clearly a case of vindictive and selective prosecution.

where all of the norms of the rule of law have been suspended, and the president didn't care about the facts, and the president didn't care about the law.

He just cared about his emotions, and it was a vengeance campaign.

So I think either the judge will have to throw it out, or a jury, hearing it, will see it and simply cannot find that there is remotely enough evidence to convict.

The bad news for us is that this is now part of a pattern.

You know, they began by squashing an indictment against Mayor Adams in New York, a corruption indictment, simply because they had a political purpose for that.

Then they had to basically force out Danielle Sassoon, the U.S.

attorney for New York, and basically her entire innermost staff, four or five lawyers, followed her out the door before they found somebody who would actually follow that order.

And it's just case after case.

I mean, it's the same thing going on now with the Epstein file, which they had promised to release.

Then they deployed the hundreds and hundreds of FBI agents to pour over the entire trove of documents to look for Donald Trump's name, to redact his name, to find pictures or video, whatever.

And then they came back and basically said, there's nothing to see here.
