“The Department of Justice’s case against the egregious former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey, is as weak a case as he could hope. Comey had shared an image on social media — a photo of shells on a beach gathered together to markout ’86 47′ — and, when people interpreted it as a possible threat, he deleted it. … Don’t get me wrong. Was it a dumb thing for the disgraced former government official to share? Sure. But even outstandingly horrible former FBI heads have freedom of silly speech. This is not the first time Comey’s been prosecuted by the Trump DOJ. The last time it fizzled. And, considering the First Amendment, this one will fizzle.” (05/11/26)
