It's not about convicting Comey, or anyboby

it's about intimidation and silencing any critics. Comey can fight this, the case will most likely be thrown out.
But others, who don't have those resources, will stay quiet, rather than face this.

This is how fascists work.

Trump still feels humiliated about being arrested, so bringing people down to his level is a big part of it. In his mind once they are dirtied by his tricks, they are no longer better than him. He’s all about ego.

The most cowardly of bullies try to intimidate everyone, by having their boys threaten actual tough guys. And of course this will be tossed. It really is no different than challenging someone to meet you at 7 pm at some location to fight, and not showing up because your mommy doesn't let you out that late.

I've known a lot of tough guys, who held world titles in boxing. I fought a lot of tough guys in the ring, and a couple outside the ring. They were/are distinct from these pathetic asswipes.
