Democrats Warn Prosecuting Political Enemies May Set Dangerous Precedent

U.S. — Democrats sounded the alarm over Trump's prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, warning that the prosecution of political opponents could set a dangerous precedent for America's democracy.

"We're entering uncharted waters here," said Senator Corey Booker while waving his arms wildly and popping his eyes out to demonstrate how dangerous and uncharted the waters were. "If Trump can maliciously prosecute James Comey, where does it end? Just imagine what could happen! We've never seen anything like this!"

Democrats and other experts claimed that if Trump opens this door, it could lead to malicious and frivolous "lawfare" that could end in political appointees arrested and prosecuted for obscure technicalities before being marched in front of cameras to have their mugshots taken. "Just imagine if that happened in America," said Booker. "I shudder to think."

Democrats were also promising that when they get back in power, they will retaliate by prosecuting Republicans. Republicans responded that if Democrats prosecute Republicans, they will retaliate by prosecuting Democrats when Republicans take power again. Democrats then responded by saying that if they prosecute Republicans, and Republicans retaliate by prosecuting Democrats, they will then retaliate back by once again prosecuting Republicans.

At publishing time, Republicans had responded by promising to retaliate again by prosecuting Democrats.

Being the president’s political enemy does not give one a free pass.

Oh, but surely this couldn’t be taken to the level of legal persecution of former Presidents...could it?

I figured it had to be the Bee.

Democrats do not have that level of connection with reality.

This Babylon Bee article thinks that Comey is other than a professional law officer of unimpeachable integrity. Well, I thought so too and sent this letter back in December 2018.

Comey is a Dirty Cop

Consider the source before giving credence to Comey’s statement attacking the GOP Congress and Trump about any infraction of law. What credibility he had disappeared when he spoke about Hilary Clinton’s emails. He began by detailing the many ways in which her actions violated Sections (d), (e), (f) of the federal penal code Title 18. He then declared that no prosecutor would ever consider bringing her to trial.

Comey committed an egregious violation of his FBI Director authority by stating Clinton should not be prosecuted. An attorney general or district attorney possesses the authority to decide what if any crime should be pursued. Whether federal, state, or local, police actions are limited to investigation and arrest, as can be confirmed by reading any of their mission statements. That is why we have grand juries and judges deciding upon charges by issuing warrants.

Comey lied by saying the lack of intent to reveal national secrets through Clinton’s prohibited computer system absolved her from prosecution. The applicable statute criminalizes her gross negligence leaving no room for determination of intent. As such the law shares common ancestry with laws from traffic violations to negligent homicides.

Comey is a dirty cop and anything he says, or writes should be ignored.

10 plus years of democrats persecuting Trump was perfectly normal and acceptable by that communist party but when what they created is used against them it’s a whole different kind of persecution.

They are remembering what they did to Trump and the public.

It ain’t karma they fear.
