Former FBI Director James Comey knows that.
For years Comey has lived rent free in Trump's little brain, burrowing in deeper with each day. Trump has tried to indict Comey, but it failed because the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Eric Siebert could find no evidence of a crime.
So, Trump fired him and got former Miss Colorado finalist, Lindsey Halligan, (a personal lawyer who has never prosecuted a case in her life) to go after Comey.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin responded to the blatant attack, "As if by magic, within mere days of being appointed, Ms. Halligan delivered for the president by filing the extra baseless charges against Mr. Comey that her predecessor had rejected."
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy tweeted on X, "We aren't on a slippery slope to a constitutional crisis. We are IN the crisis. Time for political leaders, business leaders, civic leaders - to pick a side: democracy or autocracy?"
So, Halligan is going to try to lie her way through the courts, perhaps to a Trump appointed judge with no scruples. If it turns out to be a neutral judge and Comey isn't railroaded, Trump will still get the satisfaction of having a show trial to demean his enemy. And, of course, another great distraction from the Epstein Files.
This malicious prosecution against Comey has no apparent basis in law or fact, and lawyers of good conscience in the department know it. The question is how many are left with a conscience in the Justice Department?
As long as Trump can get away with fixing the system to work for him against his enemies, he's causing a Constitutional crisis every day. Americans are helplessly caught up in the maelstrom that threatens the very foundation of their Democratic republic.
As it Stands, it only took Trump nine months to create a Constitutional crisis. What lies ahead in the next three years?
