Welp.
"Comey has been indicted on 2 of 3 counts sought by prosecutors --1 count of making false statements 1 count of obstruction of justice-- just days after Trump issued a public demand for his DOJ to act "now" to bring prosecutions against Comey and other foes"

@GottaLaff @Remittancegirl @JDPilley a huge part of the problem on team based political parties is that it's only bad if the other side does it . Everyone deserves a fair shake, that shouldn't be hard to say. Walking back a bad point doesn't mean you lose. Fascism for our team is still fascism.
I do find it amusing when Trump eats team trump, mostly because thats another point for people kissing the ring to pay attention to. You're only safe from him today, he has no loyalty
Laffy
@Remittancegirl Me too.
@JDPilley is apparently incapable of processing simple language.
YOU, JD, said "Comey doesn’t deserve justice..."
Why do you keep going back to someone saying "he won't get justice." Nobody has said that. We're addressing YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT that he doesn't "deserve" justice.
Why is this so hard for you to address? EVERYONE deserves justice. THAT IS THE ONLY POINT WE'RE MAKING.
JHC.

I give up.
JDPilley
@Remittancegirl @GottaLaff BYW, WE aren’t denying him justice.
Many people face bogus charges.
Comey is getting what he deserves.
But this is not OUR doing.
Unless you voted for tRUmp, or didn’t vote if eligible. If you didn’t vote for Hillary/Biden/Harris, you own it.
JDPilley
@Remittancegirl @GottaLaff who said Comey won’t get justice? He’ll get his day in court, if it gets that far. Where was Hillary’s justice in 2016? And by extension, all of us? Supreme Court is denying many people justice. Fuck Comey.
Madeleine Morris
@GottaLaff
If who deserves justice depends on whether you like them or not, then there isn’t justice. There is only tools of oppression.
Laffy
@Remittancegirl TY.
@JDPilley You specifically said "Comey doesn’t deserve justice..."
Now your reply is "Where has Comey been denied justice."
We're all addressing your first point, that he doesn't DESERVE justice. Nobody has said he's been denied justice.
By saying he's undeserving of justice is MAGAesque. EVERYONE deserves justice. Even Manson.
So we should just throw people in prison w/o fair trials? Bc some feel they don't "deserve" justice? Wow.
Madeleine Morris
@JDPilley while you are enjoying the schadenfreude, the last vestiges of what passes for due process in your country are being put to the stake, with Comey as the distraction because they’re banking to convince you to be as unethical as they are, by feeding that schadenfreude @GottaLaff
JDPilley
@GottaLaff Prosecutors get indictments for weak cases all the time. Due process insures a trial. A jury of your peers hopefully renders a just verdict.
Where has Comey been denied justice.
Fuck him! He also broke norms in 2016.
Karma.
Laffy
@JDPilley Btw:
Via Timothy Snyder just now:
Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?
Not that you weren't right about the legality here, but he seems to suggest otherwise.
Laffy
@JDPilley Wait... "Comey doesn't deserve justice"?
So if you disagree with Comey, it's okay to prosecute? That's what Trump is doing. That's okay with you?
I wasn't asking for "empathy," it never entered my head.
But he does deserve justice, as everyone in America does.
JDPilley
@GottaLaff well, it’s not illegal. It might go against norms, but that went away long ago.
As far as unjust, Comey doesn’t deserve justice after his performance in 2016.
No empathy at all for him.
The only thing to come from this is he’ll need to blow some dollars on legal fees. Doubt this case gets to trial.
Laffy
@JDPilley Not really the point though. This is unjust, illegal, and what we feel about Comey is irrelevant
JDPilley
@GottaLaff I still have not forgiven him for 2016.

@GottaLaff @Remittancegirl @JDPilley some people want to bring Twitter over here. The only missing piece is the farm of trolls that each make this argument a single time under each user, so it feels like you are fighting society.
Laffy
I have no more time or patience for someone who refuses to respond to the same question 3-4x & instead responds with something we never brought up.
Even after we explained it repeatedly.
You've become a lost cause.
