Comey: Trump ‘could be wearing an ankle bracelet’ while accepting GOP nomination

Former FBI Director James Comey predicted on Sunday that former President Trump “could be wearing an ankle bracelet” when accepting the GOP nomination if he wins it in 2024, as the former president faces a number of legal challenges.

Comey said on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” that he doesn’t “want to” but “could” envision Trump getting the Republican nod. 

“I mean, it’s this crazy world that Donald Trump has dragged this country into, but he could be wearing an ankle bracelet while accepting the nomination at the Republican convention,” Comey said.

“You would be rejected if you put it in a script for a show, but you could have a president who is potentially incarcerated when he is elected president,” he added.

Trump if facing a slew of legal woes including an indicted on criminal charges in New York, and two Justice Department inquiries led by special counsel Jack Smith. A Georgia prosecutor is probing attempts to overturn the state’s election results in 2020, and Trump was also found liable last month for sexual abuse and defamation writer E. Jean Carroll.

Trump fired Comey as FBI director during his tenure at the White House in May 2017. Trump cited Comey’s handling of an investigation involving an email server belonging the Hillary Clinton while she was running as Trump’s opponent in the 2016 election even though it benefitted him politically.

Trump ultimately let Comey go over investigations involving Russia and Trump’s aides though Comey had informed Trump that he himself was not being probed.

What an asshole.

Absolutely right.

No one else involved in this mess makes my skin crawl like Comey.

Comey is a little smart .... Has he ever done something good for our country??

Same jerk that put Martha Stewart in prison. If she was a MALE, it never would have happened.

“President Trump “could be wearing an ankle bracelet” when accepting the GOP nomination”

President Trump could also be ordering the army to go to New York State and bust him out of prison in a year and half, Comey.

Whatever false charges stick, he’ll just pardon himself when elected president. :-)

Can the President pardon someone for a state conviction?

Comey said “I don't recall” something like 250 times while testifying under oath before Congress. And he has the chutzpah to talk about DJT’s ankle bracelet????

Comey’s going to be lucky if he’s not wearing a neck bracelet with rope attached in the near future.

Comey has totally gone off the deep end, he’s unstable. I wonder if he should be subjected to Red Flag laws.

Notice there are very few Republicans talking about defunding. Obviously the agency knows there not going to go there.

Barr just ran out and attacked Trump again, called him guilty and said he’s going to be indicted very soon. It’s rather obvious that Barr is defending Biden and won’t even speak about why they are in business with Biden.

It’s really quite appalling that a former FBI director can make such exceedingly unprofessional statements and maintain any shred of credibility as a former law enforcement official.

Comey is emblematic of the worst of our nation. The worst. A narcissistic weenie with no moral code, no honor, no guts, and nothing to give the nation. I'm ashamed of him.

Yep, that's what the left has planned. Their dream is to have him behind bars within the next year.

He’s in a prison of his own making. His life wasted. He’s careening toward the end with less than nothing to show except a few greening pictures of him with Hillary from the good old days.

When he speaks his anguish in muted tones of pathetic projection my heart fills with joy.

You are a poet!

I don't think that is it, not yet. What they want is to set Trump up as the Republican nominee. They are basically supporting Trump now.
