I don't think 47 cares if the Comey and/or James cases are dismissed as vindictive

Aside from dismissal, Comey doesn't have much recourse. Federal tort claims for malicious prosecution or abuse of power are specifically barred. And prosecutors effectively have absolute immunity.

So, from 47's perspective, since he can't be sued, there is no downside. If the cases are dismissed, it just gives him another accusation of "radical left judges" to add to his litany.

If you speak the truth about me, I will attack you with legal warfare.

You will have huge legal bills, your reputation will be damaged, cause others to make death threats, etc.

I just hope that anyone else he goes stand strong and calls on others to stand up as well as Comey and James have!
