35. That's not grounds for prosecution, and it is not why he's being prosecuted.

Comey's only crime is being on Trump's enemies list. You have your grievances against Comey (grievances I share), which have nothing to do with breaking the law. So do Trump and Maga. Neither is better than the other. Next is JB Pritzker. That is the extension of what you are sanctioning here. Trump doesn't like him either.

All of us who care about the constitution and rule of law should be very concerned about this. You are a smart person with a good heart. I believe if you think about this logically, you will see that your reasons are not consistent with the law. If we put every person we didn't like in prison, the country would be a Nazi hellhole. That is in fact Trump's goal. Democrats should not be going along with his agenda.
