“On the face of it, there should be no prohibition against the chief law enforcement officer of the country indicting someone he doesn’t like. And as my old boss in the U.S. Attorney’s office, Bob Morgenthau, famously said of his pursuit of Trump’s unsavory mentor Roy Cohn, ‘A man is not immune from prosecution just because a United States attorney happens not to like him.’ Comey’s lawyers will doubtless mount a motion to dismiss on grounds of selective prosecution — that Comey was singled out for prosecution for political or other base purposes. Normally, that’s a hard one to prove, and a harder one to win, but not in this case. It is typically difficult or impossible to prove that the government had some impermissible motive. But here, Trump gave Comey the selective prosecution argument on a silver platter.” (09/30/25)
