“How many times have you heard people on Free Republic say that we need to get rid of some Democrats or get rid of some people, etc? Should all of those people have been prosecuted for advocating murder?
“I’m just telling you what the law is, whether either of us agree with it or not. This is a guaranteed fail prosecution. To be honest, the part of this that’s most disturbing to me is that I am sure the Acting Attorney General absolutely knows that, but the DOJ feels compelled to push a doomed prosecution to avoid angering Trump so he doesn’t throw a temper tantrum and start firing everybody again.”
Throw a “temper tantrum”?
What an odd choice of words for an FR poster.
Utterances that might lead to the death of a president are held to a very strict standard. That’s the law, and you know it. Why? Lincoln, McKinley, Kennedy.
“This is a guaranteed fail prosecution.”
Lawyers typically say things can go either way (for good reason) (and that you best pay their fees).
I call them as I see them. Trump does not like to be told no, and everybody knows it. I don't see what good it does for us to pretend that isn't the case. Trump has a lot of strengths, but he also has some weaknesses, and this is one of them. Along with overvaluing personal relationships, And being too easy to trigger with insults.

It isn't true, so I don't "know" any such thing. But if you're claiming that it is, please name for me the successful prosecution of people for saying things equivalent to what Comey said.
As I've said, you could likely find hundreds of thousands of examples of other people making equivalent statements about we need to "get rid" of a President. That kind of rhetoric is common. Then there was the whole target "crosshairs" controversy when Sarah Palin ran ads against Democrat members of Congress.
No prosecutions.
