James Comey will always be the poster child for how a dual system of justice got started in this country. When he stood in front of the cameras and admitted Hillary Clinton had been “extremely careless” with classified information, then turned around and said she shouldn’t be charged, that was the moment the system was exposed. Regular people would have been dragged through the mud and thrown in jail, but the powerful walked away without consequences.
The Russia collusion mess only proved it further. Comey allowed the Steele dossier, a piece of junk paid for by Clinton’s campaign, to be used to spy on Trump’s team. From there, the country got years of taxpayer money wasted, endless investigations, and nothing real to show for it. The whole thing was designed to unseat a duly elected President. If that is not using the justice system as a political weapon, then what is.
Even after Trump fired him, Comey could not help himself. He leaked his own memos to spark the Mueller probe, then cashed in with book tours and TV appearances like he was some kind of hero. The arrogance of it is unbelievable.
His indictment should be the first of many.
