He's starting to look kind of like David Bowie

You're going to attempt intimidation tactics on a former FBI director?

Weird choice. Well good luck with.

law enforcement tailed his car and tracked his cellphone, steps usually reserved for serious threats.

Over that picture of him standing next to some seashells arranged to say 86 47, that he didn't even arrange.

Nobody should be putting Comey (or anyone) on a pedestal for eventually not doing Trump's song and dance. But this should be a wakeup call to anyone that still believes they won't find a reason to go patriot act on your ass if you're a God-fearing Republican. That giant Palantir database they're building that we suddenly have stopped hearing anything about comes to mind.

So as the country is crumbling around us, they wasted government resources on tailing Mr. Milquetoast, knowing full well he was not an actual threat. They then fired his daughter who was prosecutor on the Maxwell case, and now it's looking very likely, they're going to give Maxwell a pardon in exchange for some kind of testimony she can provide proclaiming Trump's innocence.

86 47 seashells picture on Instagram = threat to national security

International child sex trafficking co-conspiritor, who also is being protected from being sued in civil court due to a release Epstein's lawyers had his victims sign = possibly free to walk as if nothing ever happened. Signaling to corrupt and powerful elites all over the world, business as usual, the U.S. is not even pretending to care about justice anymore, and we can now basically get away with anything. Human rights violations, war crimes, doesn't matter no need to pretend or even try to cover it up.

Comey is one of the very many Americans that have enabled the rise of the orange shit stain and fascism in this country. Enjoy Comey!

It's likely that we never had a Trump presidency if Comey made some decisions different.

Obviously prefacing this with fuck pedo trump and his band of pedophile ball garglers, but also it’s somehow poetic that this pig gets a taste of what he undoubtedly has done to others. ACAB includes fbi directors under democratic admins

The people downvoting you must be too young to remember what Comey did to get Trump elected in 2016.

[–] tane69@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don’t even blame them, most Americans don’t have the attention span to make it through a single episode of tv at this point, can you really expect them to remember what happened a decade ago?

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What were we talking about?

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I think they were asking you what your favorite TV show is

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

And that the FBI has been a tool of political repression since its beginning.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Donald Trump Jr. wrote on social media that Mr. Comey was “casually calling for my dad to be murdered.”

yeah, so are most of the people who know he exists. so what?

why would anybody be surprised that somebody who casually calls for millions of people to be murdered is themself the target of casual calls for murder?

Because traitor Trump is a coward and he's afraid of the truth.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh boy. He's about to have a horrible accident
