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.

And James Comey deserves to be hanging by a rope by then, if not sooner.

Mr Comey, that works in your direction too and ESPECIALLY well since you’re guilty as sin.

So effing what? Unless convicted of insurrection he can run, be elected, and serve.

So, Comey, piss off.

Just keep in mind what is gonna happen to your A** when he takes office.

Isn’t the idea of an ankle bracelet to make sure the person can’t just disappear to some unknown location? As if that would ever be a problem with Donald Trump. To point would just be to humiliate him.

Comey is very right to be worried!

Former FBI head James Comey worries a Trump presidency would lead to 'retribution' of politically motivated prosecutors

https://thepostmillennial.com/former-fbi-head-james-comey-worries-a-trump-presidency-would-lead-to-retribution-of-politically-motivated-prosecutors

Comey quote from this article:

"Think about what four years of a retribution presidency might look like. He could order the investigation and prosecution of individuals who he sees as enemies. I’m sure I’m on the enemies list, because the president constitutionally does oversee the executive branch entirely, which includes the Department of Justice, prosecutors and investigators," Comey told Psaki. "And so, he could commission, direct that individuals be pursued."

What really concerns me is the such a politically motivated individual such as Comey could be elevated to such a level of power in the government. Not only should individuals such as Comey be removed from power, the "DEEP STATE SWAMP" that put them there should be purged.

Trump should welcome the ankle bracelet, and you, Comey, should welcome the Necklace made from HEMP when they put it around your neck

Do ANY jurors believe FBI testimony these days? The FBI has completely destroyed its credibility.

Biden should be in prison for real crimes and corruption. I don't hear clown Comey talk about Joe and Hunter. He is a big reason the FIB has lost the trust and respect of over half the country. He belongs in prison with Biden and his friend Hillary.
