Rep. Jamie Raskin: The Charges on James Comey Are ‘Surreal and Absurd,’ Someone Else Create the Seashells Formation

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: "I mean, the charges here are just surreal and absurd. But of course, from the perspective of the person who’s obviously calling the shots and proudly calling the shots under the unitary executive theory of the Justice Department in America, you know, it’s not important whether or not the grand jury either, you know, indicts or doesn’t indict or whether the court throws it out or doesn’t throw it out or the person is convicted or not. What matters is that he can occupy Mr. Comey’s time and lots of resources. It will probably cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend himself against, you know, this 'Sally sells seashells down by the seashore' charge, and, you know, as long as he’s occupying other people’s time and space, that’s all he cares about. It’s not like he’s got some program for America he’s working on, like he’s focused in the same way on trying to get health care to everybody or lower the price of groceries, or lower the price of gasoline, or end the war that he just unleashed on the world in Iran. He’s focused on on Mr. Comey and what happened at the beach nine months ago."
