The Federalist "Comey’s latest post would no doubt be pursued as incitement to violence — something Comey himself would seem to advocate were he not the subject of investigation."

"James Comey dog-whistling his desire for President Donald Trump to be assassinated via a now-infamous “86 47” social media post — only to play dumb after well-deserved backlash — is a final befitting act by the disgraced former FBI director in his long-running campaign to destroy the president. Justice demands he answer for this outrageous act, particularly because the holier-than-thou G-man has to date completely skirted justice.
"Indeed, Comey, among those most responsible for eviscerating the rule of law and undermining our republic over the last decade, has evaded any accountability for his sordid and malevolent conduct — besides being fired during the Trump I administration. Yet consider the parade of horribles for which Comey bears culpability.
"The Russiagate hoax originated and festered under Comey’s leadership. Comey briefed the incoming president on the wholly uncorroborated Steele dossier days before his first inauguration — a briefing whose leak triggered the media to report on the garbage oppo research package. This in turn undermined the incoming administration and helped foment the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. The FBI would of course use the dubious dossier to justify the unjustifiable spying on the Trump campaign through Carter Page, via a civil rights-obliterating FISA warrant that Comey and his comrades zealously pursued.
"Comey also orchestrated the brazen ambush interview of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in a bid to set a perjury trap that would lead to his demise and destabilize the administration. Flynn was poised to radically restructure the deep state. That’s one of the reasons why he was among its first targets in the Trump administration.
"Instead of being able to help the president root out the rot and corruption and reorient the national security and intelligence apparatus toward America’s national interest, Flynn ended up having his career destroyed, his reputation tarnished, and his finances ruined — despite having committed no crime. He underwent a devastating sham trial before a judge who, botching the facts of the case, slandered the storied terrorist-hunting Flynn as a traitor, and has never received restitution for this ordeal.
"Comey delivered public testimony to Congress discrediting President Trump months into his presidency by claiming he was under investigation as part of the Trump-Russia collusion “probe” Comey’s FBI cooked up, while privately reassuring the president he was not a target of investigation." . . .
