Comey under attack from right and left

 Trending Politics:

ABC daytime viewers were undoubtedly shocked on Thursday when “The View” co-host Joy Behar stated that she agrees with President Donald Trump that former FBI Director James Comey may have broken the law.

Since Sunday, Trump has made plain that he wishes for the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute the Obama-era director on charges related to the baseless Russiagate allegations. On Wednesday, officials close to the administration announced that authorities were preparing charges that may be announced by the end of this week.

Comey’s wrongdoing resurfaced during a 2020 congressional hearing where he allegedly perjured himself while discussing the FBI’s investigation of Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide and Trump’s former personal attorney.

Behar agreed that Trump has a point but couched her defense with caution, adding that she also distrusts Comey for opening an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s missing emails 11 days before the 2016 election.

“You know what, I don’t like Comey. I agree with Trump on this one. I don’t like what he did to Hillary,” Behar said. “I’m just saying. But I rarely have something that I agree with Trump on, so this is one thing.”
...

Comey’s damning remark came while responding to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who asked at the 2020 hearing whether he leaked information regarding the Trump or Clinton campaigns. Comey replied, “No.”

Cruz later revealed that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe admitted he had received permission from Comey to leak sensitive information to the Wall Street Journal related to the Bureau’s investigation into alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 election.

Prosecutors are now said to be “nearing a decision” about whether enough evidence exists to charge Comey. Halligan has urged prosecutors to do so, the Daily Caller reported.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard this summer turned Comey over to the DOJ for criminal prosecution, citing documents obtained during a review of the U.S. intelligence community’s activities in the wake of the 2020 election. He was among a slew of former Obama officials recommended for criminal investigation, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper.

The Russian collusion hoax was one of the biggest political frauds in US history, and those responsible for it should be held accountable.  I believe that many of the perps knew or should have known it was a fraud cooked up by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
