Just Like He Did &#8211; The Federalist"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><p>    Former FBI Director James Comey, who played a key role in the    Russia collusion hoax, hasnt given up on his dream of keeping    President Donald Trump from the Oval Office.  <\/p>\n<p>    For nearly 10 minutes on Sunday, Comey and    former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki fantasized on    MSNBC about the bureaucracy-led campaign to fell their common    archenemy, Trump.  <\/p>\n<p>    Can you envision a scenario where Trump managed to win back    the White House, and justice is delayed? Psaki asked.  <\/p>\n<p>    I could. I dont want to, but I could. I mean, its this crazy    world that Donald Trump has dragged this country into, but he    could be wearing an ankle bracelet while accepting the    nomination at the Republican Convention, Comey said. It would    be rejected if you put it in a script for a show, but you could    have a president who is potentially incarcerated when hes    elected president.  <\/p>\n<p>    Comey, who proudly and    loudly supported Biden for president in 2020, spent the    rest of his time on air fearmongering about the damage a second    Trump term could wreak on the nation.  <\/p>\n<p>    Think about what four years of a retribution presidency might    look like, Comey said. He could order the investigation and    prosecution of individuals who he sees as enemies, are on the    enemies list, because the president constitutionally does    oversee the executive branch entirely. Which includes the    Department of Justice, prosecutors, and investigators.  <\/p>\n<p>    President Trump could say I dont care what the Supreme Court    says or these district judges say, Im telling the Marshal    Service dont enforce the court order, he added.  <\/p>\n<p>    Grandstanding about the potential abuse of power by Trump is    rich when considering how the FBI under Comey abused its    authority to launch a seriously flawedinvestigation    into alleged collusion, of which there was no actual    evidence, between Trump and Russia.  <\/p>\n<p>    Despite its long history of    corruption, Comey claims the FBI is competent, honest,    and independent. That claim isnt just false.    Its completely tone-deaf to a majority of    Americans who say that the FBI is corrupt and must be    punished or dismantled.  <\/p>\n<p>    Comeys predictions that a second Trump term will be riddled    with malfeasance are also ironic given the fact that his    preferred political candidatedid the exact thing he    claims to fear  weaponizing the federal government against    Americans for partisan purposes  for the last two and a half    years.  <\/p>\n<p>    Biden not only threatenedto use his executive    authority to disrespect the    Supreme Courts Dobbs v. Jackson decision last summer,    but his Department of Justice explicitly warned U.S. Marshals    against arresting    the pro-abortion mobs violating federal law by protesting    outside the homes of Republican-nominated justices.  <\/p>\n<p>    Trump, Comey claims, comes for the rule of law, the system of    justice, and the agencies with a flame thrower.  <\/p>\n<p>    He will come and try to criticize and attack your family, your    witnesses. There are no limits to what he will try to do to    obstruct an effort to hold him accountable, Comey complained.  <\/p>\n<p>    Yet, once again, the dystopic regime Comey claims will come    with Trump is already in full effect under our current    president, who has weaponized his administration to pervert the rule    of law, threaten    democracy, and obstruct justice to protect his son    and his corrupt business    dealings. Comey, similarly, obstructed    justice when he refused to give his testimony about the    Crossfire Hurricane investigation to Special Counsel John    Durham.  <\/p>\n<p>    Our constitution really does give a rogue president, which is    what this would be, tremendous power to destroy. And so thats    why Im trying to warn people. Given the way he said he intends    to operate if hes reelected, this will be something we could    never have imagined. Again, it seems like science fiction in a    way, but its what another four years of Donald Trump really    promises, Comey asserted.  <\/p>\n<p>    It should come as no surprise that, even after all of the Biden    administrations unconstitutional actions, Comey reaffirmed his    allegiance to a regime committed to following through with the    political persecution it started in 2016.  <\/p>\n<p>    It has to be Joe Biden, Comey said of the 2024 election. And    Im glad hes willing to serve. It has to be somebody committed    to the rule of law, committed to the values of this country.  <\/p>\n<p>    The current president, Comey asserted, abides by the law and    our Constitution, which is why theres no one else but Joe    Biden.  <\/p>\n<p>    I want the American people to stare at the threat that were    facing and understand that they cannot take the next election    off, he said.  <\/p>\n<p>    If history tells us anything, the FBI, which has meddled in    several presidential elections, certainly wont take off in    2024 unless it is forced to by Congress.  <\/p>\n<p>    Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer    of The Federalist Radio Hour.
