I mentioned this in another thread but thought it deserves its own.

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges of making a false statement and obstruction related to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020, just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act "now" to bring prosecutions against Comey and other political foes.

But dontcha dare call Trumpedo an authoritarian.

Unlikely there will be a conviction. The facts don't support the charges. The grand jury threw out one of the 3 original charges, and was far from uniamous on the 2 indicted charges. And that was with no defense. Comey can push for a trial within 30 days.

"Fourteen of the 23 grand jurors voted to indict on both counts, according to two sources familiar with the proceedings. But the grand jury, which hears only one side of the story — that of the prosecutor — declined to charge him on another crime Halligan pursued: false statements."
