Inexact charges

Throwing a pinch of Stalin into the mix:

Prosecutors are expected to ask a grand jury to indict former FBI Director James Comey in the Eastern District of Virginia in the coming days, two sources briefed on the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

The exact charges remained unclear, and it was uncertain whether the grand jury would return an indictment against one of Trump’s longtime political antagonists.

There’s nothing to indict him for, but Trump has ordered them to come up with something.

One of the sources said some prosecutors within the Eastern District of Virginia have presented new U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be filed, saying the case lacked evidence to show probable cause that a crime was committed.

Evidence shmevidence. Trump said to indict him so indict him! That’s an order, Corporal!

Trump, in a social media post on Saturday, urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to bring charges against Comey and other political rivals of Trump, including U.S. Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Trump chided Bondi for not moving fast enough to bring criminal charges against his most prominent antagonists, saying “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW.”

Which is very much something presidents are not allowed to do, but Trump don’t care.
