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.

If he is forced to wear a braclet, it will cement his winning the Presidency.

He’s trying his hand at writing fiction, which he’s an expert at, seeing as he fabricated crimes, colluded with other criminals, lied, and covered his own crimes during the years he was FBI Director.

Remember, this is the guy who admitted to hiding in the curtains so he wouldn't have to meet President Trump.

And after he takes it off, he’ll personally lock it on Comey.

“In an interview with ABC News in April 2018, Comey said that the Republican Party ‘left me and many others,’ and that ‘these people don’t represent anything I believe in.’”

Make American Great Again

I’d say Comey is worth about 30 yuan.

The dems would be happy to arrest Trump on false charges to keep him out of the White House.

These people are filled with hate - a hate that never goes away when they get their way - a hate that they will carry into hell.

Comey believes the Deep state should run things, not the elected officials.

lol - what a pointless exercise, other than to humiliate Trump. Where on earth would he go where they’d need an ankle bracelet to locate him?

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.

Even worse, unbalanced people like him are currently in charge of these various agencies.

With all due respect, as opposed to Comey assholes at least have a legitimate function.
