Acting attorney general says indictment against James Comey goes beyond seashell photo

Source: NBC News

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond the Instagram post central to his case.

“This is not just about a single Instagram post,” Blanche told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “This is about a body of evidence that [prosecutors] collected over the series of about 11 months. That evidence was presented to the grand jury.”

Blanche said he was not “permitted” to share the other evidence against Comey that was collected, but added: “At the trial — a public trial that will be open to the public — everybody in this country will know exactly what evidence the government has against Mr. Comey.”

Comey was indicted last week on charges alleging he threatened the life of the president after he posted a photo on Instagram of seashells forming the numbers “86 47.”

that includes exculpatory evidence, Sparky. It’s not double super secret stuff. I think we’ll see it long before trial, in the motion to dismiss.

So maybe he can force the issue and expose the lack of evidence sooner.

It is perfectly acceptable. We should get rid of this monster and there are ways that don't include murder. They need to STFU and put on their big boy pants.
