This is absolutely bonkers. @Comey is invoking his dogged pursuit of Martha Stewart as the model for charging POTUS - a case that was laughably thin. thefederalist.com/2018/04/26/sev…
"Comey didn’t charge Stewart with insider trading. Instead, he claimed that Stewart’s public protestations of innocence were designed to prop up the stock price of her own company, and thus constituted securities fraud."

Imagine if Comey was still in a position to use that same standard against POTUS. I swear, this guy...

And now he's invoking it as a positive! Why didn't Barr follow Comey's lead set out in his most eyeroll-inducing case? Oh, it's a mystery.
"In essence, Stewart was prosecuted for “having misled people by denying having committed a crime with which she was not charged,” as Cato Institute Senior Fellow Alan Reynolds put it." Now apply that to Trump.

"Alone in My Principles" is going to be the biggest hit song, you'll see. You'll all see.
