It seems to me, Dan, and again, I'm not a lawyer, but if you have the word seashells in your indictment, you're already losing.

Comey has said he did not actually even arrange the seashells, that he saw them on the beach and took a picture of them, posted them to Instagram, which makes me...

say, will the real beach mob boss please stand up?

Can I say also the bar here is really high.

Like there are previous cases that have been adjudicated at like very high levels of our judicial system that give a lot of leeway for free speech for, you know, including expressions of real violence.

intentional harm directed toward the president of the United States.

And in North Carolina, I believe the criminal statute says that threats fall outside of protected speech only if they show the speaker had a reckless disregard for the strong likelihood that his listeners would be incited to do harm to the president.

I mean, I am sorry.

Reckless disregard and beachcombing don't go together.

Can I just say, if you haven't been paying attention to what is happening inside the Department of Justice at the level of the U.S.

attorneys, you should.

Jeffrey Toobin has an op-ed in the New York Times this week detailing some of the absolutely clownish people who are being tasked with carrying out these clownish endeavors, and they're literally like right-wing podcasters.

Right.

And these people are so utterly unserious that I would I would say everybody gird your loins because there's going to be more of this bullshit coming down the pike for as long as Trump's controlling the DOJ.

Well, when you are secretary of state.

Well, I'll say what a great turn of events that was.

I mean, I can find many other cabinet agencies that you would be fit to, I mean, compare it, especially compared to, I don't know, literally every single appointee in the Trump administration.

But I digress.

These are clownish people doing clownish things.

And hopefully our judicial system will continue to do the important work that it's doing by dismissing them.
