20:25Now PlayingJill, Joyce, and Barb dig into a wild week in the James Comey "8647" case, where his lawyers filed three separate motions that could blow the whole thing up. They break down the motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution (complete with a 76-page appendix of Trump trashing Comey in public), the motion arguing the alleged "threat" isn't a true threat under the First Amendment, and a motion to suppress evidence over a search warrant affidavit the Sisters say misled the judge. Highlights include Amazon selling "8647" merchandise with zero indictments to show for it, a debunked claim that "86" is mob code (straight from Sammy the Bull himself), and a deep dive into how FBI agents allegedly shaded the truth about Comey's wife, his lawyer, and a mystery witness. If you've been wondering whether this case has a prayer of surviving pretrial, this is the episode.
Topics:
Overview: three motions filed in the Comey "8647" case
Motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution
The 76-page appendix of Trump's public attacks on Comey
Why Comey was singled out despite widespread use of "8647" (including on Amazon merch)
The uninvestigated "seashells in the sand" angle
Selective vs. vindictive prosecution — how the two legal theories differ
Comey's earlier perjury case and why those motions didn't succeed then
Why the timing (indicted a year later, right after his last case was dismissed) matters
The "not a true threat" motion and First Amendment protections
The Franks hearing motion to suppress evidence from an allegedly misleading warrant affidavit
The debunked claim that "86" is mob code for assassination (Sammy "the Bull" Gravano and retired judge John Gleason both push back)
Alleged misrepresentations about Comey's lawyer's photo and Mrs. Comey's Google search
Closing question: is DOJ building a case to win, or to humiliate?
