3. I have no doubt Trump and AG Barbie are counting on Democrats' dislike of Comey and Bolton

to reduce the fury that we should all be expressing about their entirely baseless, retributive prosecution. I'm not a fan of either of them. But I no longer give a single fuck about Comey's mishandling of the Clinton investigation or Bolton's awful foreign policy entanglements, and I'd be more than happy to be out in front of DoJ HQ with a torch and a pitchfork screaming about these absolutely outrageous, downright Stalinist efforts. If you're still holding a grudge against these guys, drop it right now, because "our" people are next: Adam Schiff and Letitia James are in the crosshairs now, and God knows who else - probably other members of the January 6 committee, Jack Smith, Fanni Willis, E. Jean Carroll and her lawyer Roberta Kaplan. Maybe some Democratic governors like Gavin Newsom. There's the judge in Milwaukee who's already being prosecuted on a bogus obstruction charge. It doesn't matter that they've never done anything wrong; like despots everywhere they start with the target and sift through their lives until they find something that could be twisted into something prosecutable. Stick up for Comey and Bolton as if they were "our" people, because with respect to what's happening now, they are our people.
