Episode notes
Comey's Controversial "86-47" Post
- James Comey posted a shell formation reading "86-47," which can be interpreted as a threat to kill President Trump, the 47th president.
- The Secret Service considers this a violation of 18 U.S. Code 871, creating a serious security concern.
Stupidity vs. Malice in Comey's Post
- James Comey's shell post could stem from either stupidity or malice, blurring the lines between ignorance and intent.
- Stupidity involves not understanding legal consequences, while malice implies knowingly threatening the president publicly.
Problem with Nationwide Injunctions
- Nationwide injunctions by local district courts lack historical and legal basis, leading to judicial overreach.
- Supreme Court is likely to limit these injunctions to preserve fair judicial process and prevent forum shopping.
