Do you think they have much on Comey?

Considering prosecutors resigned rather than producing this case, does anyone believe they have good evidence?

What do you think are the chances of a conviction? We haven’t seen the evidence yet, but we will… any thoughts?

I’m wondering if the Defense will use Trumps stated desire to get his preceded “enemies” will be used as a part of Comey’s defense.

No, they have to prove McCabe was telling the truth, even the 2018 IG report dismissed the same accusations

Flynn plead guilty and took a plea bargain.

But it says a lot about your character that you support innocent people being legally harassed into bankruptcy, if you consider them political opponents.

He did so to prevent the further draining of his family resources.

We do not know whether Comey is guilty or not.

I can tell you this, if Comey is convicted, there will be no pardon.

Because they threatened to go after his son if he didn't plea guilty. Most good fathers would throw themselves on a sword for their son.

My understanding is that there are two counts, 1. Lying to Congress (harder to prove); 2. Obstruction of Justice, which is easier to prove, but will a jury indict? I understand trump is shopping for a friendlier trial venue outside of metro DC. It's a total railroad attempt, that like I say, will blow up in trump's face like that Russian hooker's bladder did.

Yes but i read the indictment core parts and the 'obstruction' charge is for 'lying to Congress' so it is two writings of a single action that must be adjudicated and decided by a jury of 'did the gov't prove beyond a reasonable doubt Comey lied'.

And lets put forth the worst case scenario and flip the IG findings to saying 'they thought Comey was the one misrepresenting but they could not conclude it was deliberate',... even under that most juries would not convict, as it is hard to be so sure, even if you think Comey did misrepresent, that he did not do so mistakenly.

As it is not against the law to make a mistake and be wrong and even if a jury does not think that is the case, the question that catches is the lack of proof. They do not generally convict on 'feels' for this.

I think this DOJ lawyer faces the real chance of the judge kicking this out with prejudice and referring the lawyer to the BAR disciplinary panel and being disbarred over this. I think what might save the lawyer is that the case is kicked even prior to the judge doing that, for this US Attorney not being legally appointed and thus the prosecution voided. Typically the DoJ could bring that back with a proper official (Todd Blanche started signing everything for Alina Habba in the same type ruling) but since Comey's case would be beyond the Statute of Limitations, it cannot be refiled.
