“In less than a month after the Mueller Special Counsel was created, the Mueller gang was already working on their obstruction efforts against the President.”

You guys DO realize that as sure as WE are that this was a coup attempt, the other side believes Comey, et al., WITHOUT question (and he knows this, hence the weird tweets. He thinks he’s smarter than Trump, et al. And he has been smart, because he’s admitted everything we accuse him of. He hasn’t denied anything. Except motive. In any trial he faces, the only question for the jury is about motive, which means very little evidence will actually be admissible (judges have very wide latitude), and most likely the evidence will be limited to motive. So, alsk yourselves, without retelling the whole story, what actual evidence of criminal intent exists against Comey? He was the Director of the FBI. Not a job you get by accident. So what evidence overcomes the argument, what did you want me to do? Remember, all it takes is ONE stealth juror, and the best case in the world doesn’t matter. Do you understand the stakes here? It’s not what you want, it’s what you can prove, because remember…). The artificial world in which Trump not only colluded with the Russians, but obstructed the investigation, is REAL to them.
You’d be surprised, but a lot of people who serve on juries come into the courtroom skeptical of the police, prosecutors, and the Judge even. We go in behind the 8-ball. The only case I’m bringing first is the biggest charge I can prove to a mathematical certainty. That is NOT the standard of proof required for a conviction, but I am only going to choose a case that I can prove no matter WHO makes up the jury. And I’m going big. If there is a sedition case I can prove to that degree, then that’s my first case. And I give the defense one chance to plead guilty to receive Life in Prison. Otherwise, I tell them: “We’re going to trial, and upon conviction I am going to ask for the death penalty.” If the highest crimes carry a lighter sentence, no problem, but always ask for the max. There is no parole in the federal system.
Here’s another thing, Obama used that database to spy on Trump, right? Who’s been in control of it for three years now? It’s called “letting them talk”, because it’s all being captured. The military controls it now, and if they’re treating it like a coup, which is a specific, and incredibly serious charge that the Commander in Chief uses almost daily (to be on record, reminding the military of how serious this is (and has anyone denied it as specifically as Trump has alleged?)) then this is a military operation. You think there aren’t Title 1 warrants flying out of that FISC court? They are gathering information, folks: (Did Comey call anyone to gloat about not being prosecuted? Did they talk on the phone? Is his home bugged? Do they have people following him 24/7? Did anyone SEE “Enemy of the State”? That’s Title 1 surveillance of: the target, and two degrees of separation)
Every new piece adds to a three dimensional map of what happened, when, and by whom. Have faith, and trust.

Comey didn’t commit gross negligence when he shared his classified memos because as Director of the FBI he knew it was illegal. Remember, sanctimonious Comey the super patriot thought, and even so stated before Congress that he was operating under extraordinary circumstances to save the republic from a Russian plot involving Donald Trump?
So it was James Comey himself who established intent, but under his narrative it was an outcome of his super patriotism.
Now we see things differently because we’ve seen enough of the larger conspiracy. But what we’ve seen has to be developed to pass muster under prosecutorial conditions, it has to stand the test of grand jury indictments and real juries.
I were AG I’d go after the larger conspiracy to spy on political opponents, to blackmail, entrap and take down a duly elected president. Once all those facts are consolidated and ready for grand juries, the ‘intent’ to leak James Comey’s Classified memos will be ripe for prosecution.

Nunes is exactly right. I grew up reading Tom Clancy novels, and Robert Ludlum, obsessed with James Bond movies, exalting the FBI, CIA, etc….fascinated by their tradecraft, etc…for doing really cool spy stuff to help protect the USA.
I stopped watching Homeland a couple seasons ago when it looked like they were making the CIA out to be the bad guys, instead of the terrorists. Now Im rethinking that decision!
The events surrounding the election of 2016, and what has transpired since, have totally changed me.
I guess it mostly started it with Comey in the presser in July ’16 letting Hillary off. I was incredulous. Then President Trump blew my mind when he tweeted on March 4, 2017 “Just found out Obama wiretapped my phones”. Thats really when SHTF.
So I no longer have any faith in any of our intel agencies.
I literally would not give ANY of them the TIME OF DAY if they asked me. If they asked for my help in any way, I would not say one word to them. I wouldnt even say “No”. I would just stare at them with the look of death.
I have no faith that anything they do is protecting any of us, the PEOPLE, and furthermore, they have shown that they will turn the words of an innocent man against him.
Its really a shame.

Although it is clear their was a “seditious” conspiracy, any lawyer will tell you conspiracy is a harder case (not impossible). So although you charge it, you want slam dunk other charges to cover that a juror or two just can’t or won’t understand the conspiracy depth of a given perp (they are tried separately). This way some justice is gained. In the end if all conspirators at every level get a perceived appropriate jail term — the body political can move on.

This conspiracy to effect a coup involves multiple federal agencies (DOJ, FBI, CIA, State), private companies (Fusion GPS), political campaigns, foreign goverments (including allies such as UK and possibly Australia, Italy, etc., engaging inset-ups and spying, and adversaries such as Russia providing anti-Trimp propaganda), and foreign persons (Halper, Mifsud, et al.).
Surely the elements of such a broad-based conspiracy meet some of the elements of RICO: money-laundering, extortion, witness intimidation, computer crimes, etc.
Does anyone here have the experience or education to inform on how RICO may be relevant and, if so, the ways it could be invoked during an investigation and charging?

Here’s a little more context. Comey testified publicly before the SSCI on June 8, 2017. Witnesses’ opening statements are required to be submitted to the committee in writing in advance of hearing day. (Without looking, I think the request letters usually ask for approx 4 days advance submission.)
Tuesday, June 6, Comey’s opening statement transcript was public and CNN wrote a story on it that CNN had to partially walk back. The item in contention was whether or not PDJT has asked about being personally under investigation and, if so, what Comey had told him. This The Hill article gives the story.
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/336871-cnn-issues-correction-after-comey-statement-contradicts-reporting
Since on June 6th, Comey would have been continuing to prep for his upcoming testimony and the CNN piece probably hit that afternoon, those four pages very well might have been written on June 6th around 6:30 PM. Comey was going to testify that Trump was not personally a target of a counterintelligence investigation. That did not mean that PDJT was not a target of an obstruction investigation into his response to the handling of Lt Gen Mike Flynn. It was a fine line. The DS response to Comey’s firing was to bolster the obstruction claim and officially appoint the special counsel. It seems Comey might have handed over a copy of those four pages with the comment about when he had written them. It makes sense because otherwise the agents would have simply noted whatever date was on the document.
According to the contents of the pages released under FOIA, the agents did not go to Comey’s house for the purpose of picking up memos. They were there, by appointment, to DELIVER classified memos TO Comey for his review. Comey was the one who told the agents that there possibly were two memos missing from what they should have brought with them. He wasn’t even sure if he had written a memo about one of the telephone calls with PDJT. Since the agents were able to provide classified material, Comey must have retained his security clearance. Also, Comey volunteered information.
This visit was not a raid. It was a prep session for the upcoming testimony. The FBI/DOJ attorneys would not need any surprises either. There are several Page/Strzok tests that document various testimony preps with various persons on various dates.
The memos were taken as evidence and turned in at the Washington Field Office. If Comey were to testify about information documented in those memos, they would become part of evidence, wouldn’t they?
Quite honestly, if I had been seated on a grand jury and the feds had shown up with this story as a stand-alone, I would not have voted to indict. The case would have looked more like official oppression than wrongdoing that required possible prison time. The retention of memos at home is a matter that can go nicely with other offenses and help establish Comey’s corrupt and arrogant mindset. Not a good isolated case, IMO. (Not a lawyer. Just spouting.)
Here is Comey’s public testimony.

Here is the description that C-SPAN posted.
“Russian Interference in 2016 Election
In his first public appearance since his May 2017 dismissal, former FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He said he had no doubt that he was fired for the role he played in the investigation, and detailed meetings and conversations he had with President Trump prior to his firing.”

I was once told that the law is NOT about “Right/Wrong”; rather about the “Technicality of the Law”.
And it seems that there are many “technicalities” associated with what most of us see as a “Seditious Conspiracy”.
Apparently, Common Sense is not recognized by Black’s Law Dictionary.
What I am hearing from most, is that there is some amount of trepidation in bringing charges against those who have publicly admitted their part in the “Coup”. The main point being centered around the jurisdiction and the “demographic makeup” of the jurisdiction. If that is indeed the case, then I feel that our “Jury Box” has failed us completely and the only box we have left that has not been employed is the “Cartridge Box”.

Two things that strike me following this deep state hoax are 1.) Democrats never recuse themselves from anything no matter how conflicted they are (e.g. Eric Holder, Hillary’s personal entourage, etc.) but Republicans recuse themselves at the first accusation that the left makes at them (e.g. Sessions).
Number two is, the left uses the law to first and foremost harass their opponents and keep them on the defensive. If they get a conviction, great, but that’s just a bonus for them. Conservatives on the other hand seem to only want to take a legal action when they think they they have a surefire chance to convict someone.

Joe Sixpack and Jane Soccermom will never think just being told that Comey, Brennan, McCabe, et. al. did some bad things, but will not be prosecuted is anything they should take seriously. One reason the House was lost in the Mid-Term elections was the way Mueller cranked out indictments made Trump’s administration look guilty. Of what? Sixpack and Soccermom couldn’t be sure, but people were being indicted, so they had to do something, and they were Trump’s people.
If the Comeys and Brennans do not get charged, Sixpack and Soccermom will NEVER believe they did anything SERIOUSLY wrong. When you do something SERIOUSLY wrong, you are CHARGED, and you are ARRESTED, and you stand TRIAL.

If Comey ever goes to jail, it will happen because he was front and center with Lynch and Obama in helping Hillary out of her jam. That is the source of all of this other crap and if that can be proven, criminal behavior after the meeting between Clinton and Lynch will all be linked to the original crime. I also think that if Obama is the source of the original criminal activity, nothing will ever be done about any of this. No President has ever been indicted for a crime that he committed while in office. I am sure the demcommie Obama will never be the first. I am very pessimistic about the whole investigation by the DOJ. PDJT getting re-elected will be enough of a win for me.
