Former FBI director James Comi was given Alexandria on Wednesday morning, or. Outside Washington, outside Washington.
This moment will bring a lot of media attention – and will set fire to the initial pistol on a legal battle with President Trump as well as his prolonged enemy for the enemy.
The President’s critics were less shown to be less than a show test aimed at humiliating an enemy and rejecting disgrowned by standing for Trump.
The President, for his share, is openly gratious on the potential collapse of a figure, which he clearly hates.
It is due to Trump’s confidence that Comi played an important role in preventing speculation about its 2016 campaign and nefarious relations between Russia which kept a cloud in his first term. This is also because the former FBI director has become an open and clear Trump critic.
When Komi was convicted last month, Trump celebrated that he “Justice in America!” In a post on social media. Opposed the president This Comi was “one of the worst humans in this country, which has ever been revealed” and he was now “the beginning of being responsible for his crimes.”
Meanwhile, Comi announced his innocence in an Instagram video, in which he said, “My family and I have known for years that Donald is the cost of standing for Trump. … We will not live on our knees – and you should not be either.”
It appeared to be an illusion for Mauurin Komi, the daughter of the former director of the FBI, who was expelled from his post as a federal prosecutor earlier this year. Maurin Komi is sueing his dismissal.
In the video message, James Comi said that his “heart is broken for the justice department” but welcomed the opportunity to clear his name in the test.
If Comi was eventually acquitted, it would be a major black eye for Trump.
Not only will it bother the President, it will question the sequence of incidents, due to which the prosecution of Comi – the incidents that are already deeply controversial because they play in a broader thesis how to play in the wider thesis that Trump is using a justice system to carry forward personal and political vengeance.
If, on the other hand, Comi was to be convicted, it will validate the criticism stated by Trump and his Maga colleagues that the former FBI Director was engaged in efforts to surround the President.
It will also air in the palace of Trump, current FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Palm Bondi and others, who have argued that the bureau and other Washington agencies have a “deep position” that needs to be weed.
Bondi was the center stage on Tuesday during a stormy presence before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Democrats aims to what they see as evidence that Trump is directing the work of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and inspired by individual animas against data like Comi.
Sen Richard BlueMeMM (D-C) showed a picture of Bandy with Dinner with Trump and others in the evening before the announcement of Comi’s prosecution. Whatever the Attorney General had talked to Trump, he avoided giving a direct answer to him.
Bandy said, “I am not going to discuss any conversation with me with the President of the United States.”
The Attorney General was a similar indirect when Sen Amy Clobuhar (D-Mainon) asked him about the Trump Social Media Post between September, in which he appeared instructing him to find Komi’s prosecution. Clobuhar asked if the post was “instruction” for DOJ. Bondi said that Trump’s views were already well known.
Trump The post was central To open a new front of dispute in the case.
It was addressed to the “Palm” and the Comi and other Trump enemies were told. The President complained, “We cannot delay at any time, it is killing our reputation and credibility.”
The extraordinary nature of a sitting president created a new uproar to publicly move an Attorney General against his enemies.
In his post, Trump also complained about Eric Cebert, who served as an American Attorney for Virginia in the eastern district, but reportedly left the post, as he did not believe that criminal allegations were warned against another Trump Lakshya, New York Attorney General Lettiya James (D).
An enthusiastic Trump associate, Lindsay Holigan, has handled Cebert’s position. And although he won an indictment of Comi, the nature of his case was placed on one, To split one and a half pagesRaises his question.
Komi is accused of making false statements for the Congress and obstructing the Congress proceedings. The heart of the case appears to be his response in an exchanges with Sen Ted Cruise (R-Texas) at the 2020 Senate judiciary hearing.
Cruise cited a 2017 testimony in which Komi was asked if he had “authorized someone else in the FBI to be an anonymous source in the news reports.” In Comi, 2017, replied “No”
In 2020, for the cruise, he said “I am testified” in 2017.
Cruz is confident that this contradiction by former Comi Deputy Andrew McKebe – although McKebe did not testify that Comi pretends any disclosure.
It is possible that the allegation may be completely related to a separate person, a law professor and friend of Comi’s nominated Daniel Richman. But Richman left his role as a “special government employee” with the FBI, before he shared information with the New York Times about Comi’s conversation with Trump.
The complex web of allegations and denials will soon emerge in the test of Comi. There, it can be examined properly and publicly.
Risk for two men whose disputes made headlines for eight years
