I believe that bringing James Comey to trial for his beach shells incident is a mistake, but evidently there is more to the story.

On Sunday, Just the News reported:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond his “8647” Instagram post about President Trump.

“Rest assured that it’s not just the Instagram post that leads somebody to get indicted,” Blanche said on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

“The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn’t just look at the Instagram post and walk away,” he added.

Blanche declined to elaborate on the matter.

“So I am not permitted to get into the details of what the grand jury heard or found,” he said.

I hope that whatever other charges the government has against James Comey are substantial. I disagree with the solo charge of shells on the beach.

I believe that James Comey is a sleeze who should have gone to jail for previous crimes, but the statute of limitations has passed, and the law is the law. If Facebook posts similar to his resulted in indictments, our courts would be full. Yes, his post was tacky, unnecessary, and petty, but I question whether or not it was illegal.

Someone with a different opinion than mine told me that he was glad James Comey would have to use his resources to defend himself–much like the pain his lawfare caused to others when he was in office. I see his point, but does this indictment further polarize the country?

We can’t  undo the damage the Biden administration did to the concept of equal justice under the law, but we can avoid making the same mistakes.
