‘This Is a Schoolyard Grudge Match:’ Vance on Comey Questioned by Secret Service Over 86 47 Post

RUSH EXCERPT:
VANCE: "So look. This is a Schoolyard grudge match." We all lived through the momentous occasion. That led to Donald. Trump firing. Jim Comey as the director of the FBI. I don’t. Think we need to rehash that personal relationship. The interesting. Legal question here is whether this qualifies as. A threat. And the Supreme Court has. Actually spoken on this notion of what constitutes a. Criminally prosecutable threat. And this simply does not ring those bells. This is First Amendment protected speech. I’m not defending it. It may have well been an exercise of bad. Judgment on. Director Comey’s part. But the reality is not all speech is the sort of speech that someone can be prosecuted, even for threatening a president with. And this is not even close. So this is the sort of abuse of the criminal justice system that we’re seeing this administration engage in. At the same time, it claims that it’s investigating weaponization of the criminal justice system by the prior administration."
