This case will probably get tossed out before it even goes to trial. What a joke. Blanche, just provided with that statement, more evidence of a vindictive prosecution. This is over. It never started. It just gave the media a distraction from the shit-show

Is that kinda like nobody who storms a Capitol building and beats public officers will be prosecuted. Comey has more dignity and class is his morning shit than Todd Blanche...✌️

So he's very helpfully explaining that they select whom to prosecute. I'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't this make it hard to beat a "selective prosecution" argument.

Every instance comprises the same four digits. So in what manner, pray tell, is "every case different"? Todd Blanche has to be the dumbest moron ever to head the DOJ much less hold a JD at all.

The bar for arguing selective prosecution has been set extremely high, they can try, but it's far from a slam-dunk. The courts are required to assume the prosecution is being conducted in good faith, and require a preponderance of evidence that it is in violation of the 14th amendment.

So glad ABC is just a stenographer for the administration at this point. Maybe the headline should include how that is illegal selective prosecution and won’t stand up in court. 😑

Something something “discriminatory purposes”, something “discriminatory effects”. Public statements as clear evidence. Demonstrable intent to cause punitive financial and reputational harm. Am I following this correctly? #LegalSky

WHY did no Congressperson take their phone, repost the meme in front of him, and DEMAND that Blanche arrest them!!!!!!! Fucking Democrats, always bringing focus groups to a nuclear showdown.

Once again, does he actually hear what he's saying? He just made Comey's case that it's selective prosecution. This is after yesterday when he admitted that Cole Allen fired his weapon, despite that fact that that is one of the charges against him.

We are witnessing the systematic hollowing out of the American DOJ. When legal standing is traded for personal fealty, the result is a fragile, transactional justice. Our latest audit on the rise of the 'Vendetta State. bsky.app/profile/demo...

Yeah, sometimes 8647 is just an excuse to yell (mumble) 6 (mumble) 7 ! (I assume the kids have long since stopped saying that and now just mock the adults for still being hung up on it.)

That just means they are politically prosecuting Comey. If you aren't going after everyone screaming 8647 you're doing it out of revenge. Petty.

Why not? Is this the law or is it not? If it is and Comey is being prosecuted for having posted it, then anyone who has posted that phrase '86' in relation to any POTUS is also subject to prosecution. The alternative is that this is a 'law' for only 1 person, which is not at all Constitutional.

What a colossal clusterfuck and waste of the taxpayer's $$ This is an OBVIOUS DISTRACTION from what we really want. EPSTEIN FILES ARE EVERYTHING! EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
