Everyone Is Being Really Stupid About Trump Non-Assassination Non-Threat — Including Trump And Comey

President Donald Trump unloaded on James Comey, deeming him a “destroyer of lives” in an early morning Truth Social post Friday that also saw him brand the former FBI director a “DIRTY COP.”

A federal grand jury in Virginia indicted Comey late Thursday on two felony charges relating to his September 2020 testimony before Congress about the FBI’s investigation into alleged ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. Trump celebrated the move as “JUSTICE.”

But the indictment drew sharply polarized reactions in Washington, with critics warning the Justice Department was being weaponized by the president.

On Friday morning, the president unleashed on Comey as “corrupt,” insisting that the former FBI boss “lied” in his testimony and demanding he pay “a very big price”:

Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start. Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute. He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question. He just got unexpectedly caught. James “Dirty Cop” Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT

Trump followed minutes later with an all caps quip:

JAMES COMEY IS A DIRTY COP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Since the indictment, some legal analysts have warned that Trump’s social media posts about Comey could arm the defense with an argument for a selective prosecution motion to dismiss the indictment. As of Friday morning, Trump continues to provide that commentary.
