Trump might have just opened a can of worms

[videohead5]

Comey still has friends at the FBI. Some of them know what is in those Epstein files. Comey also has former FBI friends that know what's in those Epstein files. I will bet something will leak within the next 7 days. It will not be good for Trump.

[Faux pas]

1. YES PLEASE!!!!

[SSJVegeta]

2. His daughter knows what's in the epstein files

[KentuckyWoman]

3. Probably why

She does not allow her children to be alone with her dad. Either Jaren or Ivanka have to be in the room. I heard her say it a few years ago in an interview.

At the time I figured because of what he did to her. Could be she knows it was a lot more than her.

[SSJVegeta]

4. Oh I meant Comey's daughter. But that too!

[Timewas]

5. Sadly

He has opened many many cans of worms and has never been held accountable for anything..

[Joinfortmill]

6. More than time to let the Epstein files see the light of day

[tinrobot]

7. Comey could subpoena the fired prosecutor who refused to press charges

I'm sure there's all sorts of other discovery to be had regarding the handling of the case.

[Wiz Imp]

9. Are you talking about Acosta?

He already gave testimony to Congress recently behind closed doors. So we don't know exactly what he said, but reportedly he said he didn't remember to most of the questions. Of course he lied.

But Comey has no power to subpoena anyone at this point. Whether you're talking father or daughter, they're private citizens.

[VGuerra276]

11. He can subpoena for trial

Comey can request issuance of subpoenas for trial!

[Wiz Imp]

12. Yeah, but it may be several years before a trial would happen.

Also, since Comey is not indicted for anything related to Epstein, I'm not sure that the court would see a valid reason to subpoena Acosta.

[NJCher]

16. Comey could exercise his right to a speedy trial

and totally screw them because the lawyer Lindsey whatsername has no clue what she's doing. This will force them into persuading another DOJ lawyer to go to trial because she doesn't know how to do that.

Furthermore, the indictment is two flimsy pages and they're the same count, even though they tried to make it look like there were two separate counts.

If he did this, Comey could issue subpoenas, as poster upthread remarks.

[Wiz Imp]

20. Yeah. I don't think this ever sees a courtroom.

I think it gets thrown out pretty quickly. They have zero chance of a conviction.

[NJCher]

24. Bill Bahr

even refused to touch it. Pathetic.

[ancianita]

19. Nope. Cases out of Eastern Dist of VA are rocket docket cases. The hearing starts in early October and will

wrap up in no time, cuz there's absolutely no case.

[Wiz Imp]

22. I don't see where a hearing has been scheduled, just the arraignment on October 9

I know it shouldn't really matter because there is zero possibility of a conviction.

[ancianita]

23. Okay, cool. He's booked tomorrow, and I didn't hear arraignment. But Goldman said it's going very fast.

Reason is that the Eastern Dist of VA handles CIA, counterterrorism and national security cases, (because intel is in VA) etc., very heavy stuff.
So this isn't going to be like the DC Dist.

[tinrobot]

15. Not Acosta. The prosecutor originally assigned to this obstruction case.

He found no credible evidence and would not press charges.

He was fired and another prosecutor was brought in (who filed today's charges).

[Wiz Imp]

18. Oh. You mean the guy from Virginia that just resigned or Trump fired.

That makes sense.

I don't think it ever sees a courtroom though. It should get thrown out before then because there is no probable cause. There is zero chance of a conviction.

[ancianita]

17. Erik Siebert out of the Eastern District of VA.

The OP is about Comey, not Epstein or Acosta.

[Wiz Imp]

21. Yeah, I figured that out.

It gets confusing because several people in the thread were talking about Epstein.

[Wiz Imp]

8. I wouldn't count on that happening, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if it did, either

[flashman13]

10. I've been thinking we are on the verge of having the Epstein files explode all over Trump very soon.

I think a massive leak in the next 7 days isn't unrealistic. There are just too many people in the know to keep the files from going public. Comey could be the perfect trip wire.

[zorbasd]

13. Zeus willing

Let it be so.

[Ocelot II]

26. There could be a Daniel Ellsberg in the FBI who'll leak the files, like the Pentagon Papers.

[eppur_se_muova]

27. Maybe a guest at Mar-a-Lardo will get curious about what's in the bathroom now ... nt

[Aussie105]

14. Worms?

Please tell me these are jumping brain worms, ready to jump out and enter through Trump's left ear.
Job's half done with the Trump brain rot currently, anyway.

But yes - need I say this is another distraction attempt? EPSTEIN FILES! RELEASE! NOW!!!!!

[ecstatic]

25. Those who are still employed are in the cult so I doubt it
