(131,081 posts)which, they said, makes his ridiculous, outrageous prosecution for posting 86-47 in sea shells somehow OK. He deserves it, some people said. And it made me wonder - sadly - whether some of us alleged liberals are just as eager as Trump to prosecute someone for a thing that isn't a crime but is clearly protected speech just because they don't like him and think he deserves punishment even if it's for something completely unrelated. But take that headline and just change the name to, say, Adam Schiff, and the same folks would be up in arms, as they should be. It shouldn't matter who it is.
So my question to those who think Comey deserves this sham, vindictive prosecution is, WTF is wrong with you? If you became the attorney general in some future Democratic administration, would you prosecute the truly loathsome Kash Patel for writing 86-48 in sea shells because statutes of limitations have run on any crimes he did commit so you can't bust him for those? If your answer is yes, then shame on you for wiping your ass on the same Constitution Trump used for the same thing.
First they came for Jim Comey and I spoke out because I know the rest of the fucking poem.
