DOJ’s ABSURD Seashell Prosecution
Against James Comey About to Implode!
So friends, I appeared on MS NOW this morning with hosts Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, and Jackie Alemany. As you may know, I left MSNBC about a year-and-a-half ago to be all independent in my legal analysis work. But occasionally I’ll accept an invitation to go back on cable news, and I did that this morning.
On air this morning we talked about several topics:, including Jeanine Piro’s unbated string of losses, her botched grand juries, and her failures in trial; Michael Cohen and Donald Trump, back together again – reunited and it feels so good (actually, it feels kind of icky).
We also talked about the James Comey case – the great seashell caper -and that’s the one I want to drill down on a little bit today
because in my opinion, James Comey is about to kick Todd Blanche’s and DOJ’s butt up one side of the courtroom and down the other.
