If I were Comey, I'd be tempted to offer this defense --

"I did not see anyone arrange those shells on the beach, and my faith therefore compels me to conclude it was the hand of God. Who am I to question God? My highest purpose in life is to spread his Word to the ends of the earth. Which is exactly what I did."
 
In a way, Comey played a pivotal role in paving the way for his own now-persecution (er, maybe even prosecution if it gets far enough). It's 100% political lawfare of course, but oddly karmic as well.

As an attorney (not sure if you do criminal), does this have any legs? Im sure it will hit his wallet.

How about this as a defense - “every person on earth familiar with the term ‘86’ knows my post had nothing to do with harming the president.”

If that post from Comey begets a federal indictment then I think virtually every conservative online influencer out there should probably expect a 1000-count indictment for the posts they make on a daily basis.

This needs to happen. They must be made to suffer what they have inflicted. Otherwise they will never stop.

“… Mr. Bolton has now decided to plead guilty to a single felony count for retaining classified information. He will pay a $2.5 million fine, which is best understood as an attempt to deny Mr. Bolton the earnings from the book.

… Especially troubling and truly vindictive, therefore, is that Justice is still insisting that Mr. Bolton go to prison. The concession prosecutors have made is that they won’t ask for a sentence longer than five years. Mr. Bolton will instead ask the court for probation, which is far more suitable for the single offense, but a judge will decide.

Mr. Bolton isn’t pleading to transmitting classified information, and he didn’t bring documents home. He wrote diary notes based on his memory that informed his book. He submitted the book draft to the White House for vetting for classified material, and it was cleared for publication by Ellen Knight, the senior director at the time for pre-publication review.

… Mr. Bolton continues to be under a death threat from Iran, and he must pay for his own security after Mr. Trump removed his government protection at the start of his second term. Iran hacked his AOL account in 2021, after he had left government, and Mr. Bolton voluntarily reported that to the FBI. Iran could have him killed by criminal mercenaries in prison for as little as a pack of cigarettes.

… As we said at the time of its publication, it was bad political form to publish his book while Mr. Trump was still in office.

But no one outside the Trump acclamation chorus believes that John Bolton would have been prosecuted had he written a book that was favorable to Donald Trump.“

Yet another convicted felon from Trump’s orbit (and in this case another from his first administration).
