I wasn't prioritizing sympathy for Comey, specifically. I was addressing "vindictive prosecutions" as you indicate.

MY take is that IF it can happen to Comey, it can damn sure happen to any one of us AND more of us. Most of us do not wield the power or influence that even Comey might still have in some circles. So, if Trump can cause Comey grief and inconvenience, imagine what he can do to regular people.

I do see your point.

Thanks for the exchange. Have a great evening.
