Agree with the threads that point out that whatever our beef with COMEY our focus must be on defending the process against KRASNOV's abuse. Adding, another KRASNOV abuse of undermining institutions, here where we used to think it didnt matter who appointed them because they would act with integrity. Thank KRASNOV's mentor Roy COHN, who said the jury didnt matter, "just tell me who the judge is."

.... U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a 2021 appointee of President Joe Biden, was randomly assigned Thursday evening to the Comey case, which quickly took on national urgency over questions about Trumps deployment of federal prosecutorial power to exact revenge. ....
More recently, Nachmanoff permitted the CIA to fire a doctor who had been targeted by Trumps allies for her role advocating for mandatory Covid vaccines in the military during a prior stint at the Pentagon.
Nachmanoff won confirmation to the federal bench on a 52-46 Senate vote, winning the support of just three Republican lawmakers: Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
Before his six-year stint as a magistrate judge, Nachmanoff spent more than a decade as a federal criminal defender, with his office representing high-profile clients such as Al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui and a group of Somali pirates apprehended in 2010 after an attack on a Navy frigate. ....

flimsy as the evidence is already. This Comey thing won't even make it to trial.
