As for the reaction to all of this, the weeping and gnashing of teeth from the "No one is above the law" crowd could be heard around the world last night. If you've looked at any news sources today, you've heard the word "unprecedented" thrown around endlessly, which tells me that apparently nobody knows what the definition of that word actually is, but please spare me the outrage over political prosecutions. For all of you who ever said "No one is above the law" or said that institutions of justice are sacred and cannot be questioned or described to Donald Trump as a 34-th picked felon, you know what I say? Choke on it. Just choke on it. Honestly, if you cheered the political prosecutions of Donald Trump on cases that were clearly novel and made up just for him, just for politics, choke on it. If you are lamenting today, "Whoa, this was five years ago," and yet you cheered on the criminalization of a liaison Trump had in 2006, choke on it. If you're whining about the use of process to punish people, but you cheered the use of process to cripple Trump the candidate, Trump the president and his people, choke on it. And if you're worried about revenge, let me ask you a simple question. Revenge for what? Exactly. Whatever do you mean? Please elaborate. Do tell what it looks like when the criminal justice systems are weaponized. Another word of the day, weaponized against political opponents. Listen to what a reporter on the South Lawn of the White House actually said to President Donald Trump today. Just listen to this. President Trump, are you worried now that the next time there's a Democratic president, they will indict your FBI director or people in your administration? Well, that's what they tried to do, right? They did it with me for four years. To be honest, that joke is funnier than any joke Jimmy Kimmel has told in the last 10 years. Now Trump punted the question into the sun, as he should have, a good day for the rule of law, the rule of law endures. You know who said that? James Comey, the day that Trump was indicted. No whining about political prosecutions or weaponization or whatever. That's just what he said. Choke on it is what I think. My view is very simple. Comey was indicted for lying by a grand jury through a normal process that produces indictments for a range of crimes across this country every single day. He'll go to court and he'll get a chance to defend himself. The case seems pretty simple. We don't need CSI Alexandria here to figure out the truth. He either lied or he didn't. And the simple evidence testimony will clearly back it up or it won't. But do not, do not bemoan political prosecutions or whine about revenge or whatever today. Just don't. And for what it's worth, I don't hear a lot of people defending Comey on the substance of all this today. I hear fussing about all sorts of aspects of it, but is anyone out there actually defending him on the substance or the charges? I don't see much of that, which ought to tell you something. Everybody knows the DOJ, the FBI, and yes, dare I stay, other elements of the deep state leaked and still leaks like crazy against this president. You know that it happens. It was true when he started and it is still true today. By the way, I'm not hearing enough Democrats thanking Donald Trump today for what you ask? I mean, is he not punishing the destructor of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign? The dirty secret is if Hillary had won anyway, she would have fired Jim Comey on day one and every person whining about this today would have been on TV cheering her on. Selective outrage, hypocrisy, shamelessness. You're getting it all today, America.
