James Comey is tweeting again, this time quoting Robert H. Jackson, a former Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice and the chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials after WWII:

James Comey ✔@Comey

“[T]he citizen’s safety lies in the prosecutor . . . who serves the law and not factional purposes” Robert H. Jackson (former Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice, chief Nuremberg prosecutor)

Sadly, partisan purposes are driving the feebeye trainwreck.

The prosecution of Trump has nothing to do with Hillary being a lousy candidate. It has everything to do with destroying those that might bring the treasonous crimes of the previous administration to light, and prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law. They deserve the end of a rope.

Interesting that he brings up the Nuremburg prosecutor.

America is in need of her own Nuremburg trial. I’ve been saying this for a while. RICO wouldn’t even begin to cover the treason that’s gone on as well as the money laundering, murders, etc that the deep state traitors have been doing for some time now. All cloaked under “national security”. We’re just now beginning to see the incestuous, corrupt relationships within our so-called “intelligence” and “law enforcement” communities.

Hillary said if Trump was elected they’d “all be hanged”. And Trump was elected largely for that reason. So let’s get on with it already....

Although ignored by Comey and Meuller, Robert Jackson also gave a clear and cogent warning about prosecutorial abuse and misconduct:

If the prosecutor is obliged to choose his cases, it follows that he can choose his defendants. Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted. With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him. It is in this realm in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies. It is here that law enforcement becomes personal, and the real crime becomes that of being unpopular with the predominant or governing group, being attached to the wrong political views, or being personally obnoxious to or in the way of the prosecutor himself."

THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR, An Address by ROBERT H. JACKSON, Attorney General of the United States, Delivered at The Second Annual Conference of United States Attorneys, April 1, 1940

Comey is one of the most dangerous type of people to have in a position of power, he's a sanctimonious narcissist with a messiah complex. He honestly believes he is morally perfect, infallible and on a divine mission to “save” the nation.

Yep. Rational people know our security lies in freedom not oppression. Seems our elites are not so smart.

[Wasn’t that William Shatner?]
No, it was Marlene Dietrich

I think Burt Lancaster steals the scenes in the movie. The problem with Otto Klemperer is that it is difficult to watch without thinking of him in Hogan's Heroes, though the movie was before the TV series.

I’ll start with this: I am not a Comey fan.

IMO, Comey saw himself thrust into a matter involving an election that he did not wish to be a party in. If he began a prosecution of the witch he would have surely tilted the election to Trump, whom I don’t believe he wanted to win anyway. So, he gave her a pass, put the info out into the public sphere and wished to let the electorate decide. To accomplish that, he had a press conference to both lay out what would have been an indictment. He then jumped the shark deciding there was no intent. This was unprecedented and beyond the scope of his job as investigator.

Meanwhile, the minions working on this matter knew his desire and since they wanted Hitlery to win anyway, they found nothing because they wanted to find nothing. The lead agent in fact reviewed Comey’s statement and made sure he did not mistakenly include words what would have been an indictment.

Then info surfaced from Carlos Danger’s PC right after the white wash. He was forced to reopen the matter, on paper, confiscated the material from NY, and provided it to his band of conspirators whom looked it over for a few hours and said: nothing here boss.

Since that time, everything has been a cover up regarding this matter. This all would be an obstruction.

Of course this is not the whole story. IMO the most important crime here has been the attempt to remove Trump from the presidency. The SC matter, with Mueller in the lead, has been nothing but a coup attempt orchestrated by Clinton, the Obama DOJ and the democrap party. The violations there are misuse of the FISA apparatus, planting of false evidence, and using the tools of the government for personal benefit.

This whole matter is way beyond what Watergate was.

I do not expect this to end up with the result those of us here are hoping for. It is too grand a conspiracy for the system to obsorb. Someone will take the fall, probably McCabe and the Strck the FBI agent. In reality, Obama, Clinton, Comey, those mentioned and others should all be behind bars but that will happen after the 7th monday in next month.

Werner, but a totally agree with your analysis. Lancaster stole it. He WAS his character.

Comey's actions directly removed the function of the "prosecutor" who he now praises as being essential to he "safety" of all of us.

Is this a bad joke on his part? Does he know what he just tweeted in the context of his BLOWING of any case against Hillary?

He knows full well that if he went after Hillary for using private email for government work, it would have implicated Barry for the exact same thing! And we can't have the FBI going after the second 'black Predident', the Messiah of the Democrats....and Mufti for the MB.

Great quote. Thanks for posting it.

We can’t say we weren’t warned.

Days after the election, Page texted to say she bought “All the President’s Men,’’ a book about Nixon’s demise from the Watergate scandal, because “I needed to brush up on Watergate.’’
