Did you intend to kill the President?
No.
Did you intend for somebody else to kill the President?
No.
No further questions.”
Wow, the defendant denies the charges?
Who wouday thunk.
And of course, the right question is not why make Comey relevant again.
The right question is why did Comey try to make himself relevant by advocating for killing the President.
This is clear case of FAFO
I am glad the DOJ did not let it slide.

Clearly, 86 has nothing to do with killing the president”
Paul is a dimwitted Marxist, but occasionally he says something remotely true.
This is like saying having a gun has nothing to do with killing the President, until you say you are going to use it against him.
Putting an image up that you know is going to be seen by millions of people and explicitly stating through the image “eliminate (86) the President (47)” it is really no different than stating it in words. And that is not protected speech.
Maybe by the time this gets to leftist judges it will be thrown out. The case that Comey lied to Congress was a damm good case but the leftists found a technicality to get rid of it.
Maybe Comey won’t be so lucky this time. This area of NC is no Washington DC or NJ.

I don’t see a reference to “true threat” or “conscious disregard” in there. So those are not ELEMENTS of the offense — the elements are what Congress prescribes them to be.
A charge that tracks the language of the indictment is sufficient. The fact that the word interpreting a statute in case law are not set forth in the indictment does not lead to the conclusion that the jury wasn’t instructed.

I don’t know what was presented to the federal grand jury that indicted Comey. Maybe there are witnesses, maybe there is evidence Comey knew what the message meant (at the time he stated he didn’t know what it was beyond that it was “political”). Maybe there is evidence he intended to start some kind of movement.
Bitter is an attorney and thinks its a weak case, maybe he is right. While in my view Comey is clearly inciting violence against the President, maybe it doesn’t rise to the level needed to obtain or sustain a conviction.
I am only arguing that not bringing the case because it is a “distraction” or because Trump can’t govern while it is happening is utter BS.

On more important matters, they didn’t find the treasure on Oak Island last night. And now there is only one more show in the season.
However, Rick Lagina did go to the Azores and found a boulder that seemed to look like a boulder on Oak Island. The significance of this cannot be understated.
Also a coin expert in the Azores says the coin that was supposedly found on Oak Island on previous expeditions is rare and many such coins are missing. Ergo, they could be on Oak Island.
I think they are closing in on something, just a hunch.

Last week I wrote about the changing times with regard to MLB. Now, last night I was watching both the Cubs/Padres game and the Marlins/Dodgers game. A Tuesday night no less. A Tuesday night that featured the King Charles/President Trump’s speeches, both NBA and NHL playoff games, and of course, Oak Island.
The attendance at San Diego was 40,000 and in LA was 52,000. Again, on a Tuesday night. Those numbers used to be only for Sunday afternoon games.
And speaking of Sunday afternoon games do anyone remember, especially in LA, when most men were wearing white shirts (church clothes) and the both infielders and outfielders had trouble picking up fly balls and pop ups due to the white shirts?

A lot of good points here by Insurrection Barbie. No, I don’t know who she or he is, I just saw the comment on the link Tina provided. I agree with all of them.
“James Comey did not stumble onto a beach and innocently photograph some seashells. He is the former Director of the FBI. He spent decades studying exactly how coded language is used to signal violence against public figures. He led the Bureau through the rise of stochastic terrorism as a national security category. Then he posted “86 47” arranged in sand to hundreds of thousands of followers, with eighty-six being slang for elimination and forty-seven being the sitting President of the United States, who had survived two assassination attempts in the previous twelve months. He took the post down within hours, which is the move of a man who knew exactly what he had communicated and realized he had said it too plainly. Innocent posts do not get deleted within hours. The defense, that he simply did not connect the numbers to violence, is laughable. He was on a national press tour promoting his novel FDR Drive, a thriller about a public figure using coded messaging to incite his followers to commit acts of violence against political enemies. He told NPR the book’s central themes were free speech and “what happens when someone’s words incite violence.” A man cannot be on national radio explaining how coded incitement operates while simultaneously claiming he failed to recognize coded incitement in his own Instagram feed. That is not a coincidence. That is a confession delivered by a defendant who spent eight years building a public career on personal opposition to Donald Trump. The First Amendment is not a magic word. The Supreme Court ruled in Counterman v. Colorado in 2023 that true threats lose protection when the speaker consciously disregards a substantial risk his communication will be read as threatening violence. Comey’s expertise, his audience, his timing, his take-down, and his eight years of documented hostility toward the President all answer that question. He knew. He of all people knew. And in the end, the country needs to face what this case actually is: a former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation posting a coded call for the removal of a sitting President during an active assassination threat environment, then asking the same Bureau he once led to believe he meant nothing by it.“

“NASCAR Star Who Flipped 13 Times Roasts Stephen A. Smith for Saying He’s Not a Real Athlete”
What Smith said was that NASCAR Drivers are not athletes, he wasn’t singling out one driver.
Dictionary.com: athlete: a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill.
Fact: Most NASCAR drivers are athletes, as successful drivers possess very quick reflexes (agility), and physical stamina (working the controls of a car for hours with little rest). Many drivers clearly work out and are in great physical shape so as to maximize their potential to win.
Fact: Some NASCAR drivers are/were NOT athletes. Drivers like Tony Stewart or Jimmy Spencer clearly were not in the best physical shape, and yet Stewart was still successful.
Fact: You don’t have to be a true athlete to be a NASCAR driver, although being an athlete probably helps increase a driver’s potential for success.
Stephen A. Smith’s point is technically valid, although most drivers are in great physical shape, reflecting their desire to optimize potential for winning races.
But fat drivers can win, just like Bartolo Colon was a successful, but fat, MLB pitcher.
