James Comey is back in Trump's crosshairs. It's different this time.

James Comey, the polarizing former FBI director, entered a Barnes & Noble in New York City, sat down on a three-legged stool and began to press the virtues of his new crime novel to the few dozen dozen people who were signed for his book on Monday evening.

Days earlier he triggered a firestorm on the right – and an investigation of the secret service – when he published a photo on Instagram, on which Donald Trump and high -ranking administrative officials exist was a call to murder the president.

Now Comey, as talkative and confident as always, put aside the chance that he was faced with criminal charges.

“They were total professionals,” said Comey about the secret service agents who interviewed him and added the Bouuhaha: “Maybe it will disappear.”

As he signed books, Trump's former defender Alina Habba, now the reigning US lawyer in New Jersey, stated that she against Rep. Lamonica Mciver, Dn.J.

The announcement underlined how different the Ministry of Justice operated in the first four months of Trump's second term compared to the first four months of its first term. Trump -Loyalisten – such as Habba, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel – have the most important roles of the law enforcement authorities, and this administration was even more aggressive in terms of political enemies as well as universities and law firms.

While Comey played down the examination of his Instagram post as a “distraction”, the indictment against Mciver, as he may not be so secure, presented the indictment against McIVer before the law enforcement or at least as a long-standing criminal examination-as he showed on Monday.

Trump “is surrounded by people who are willing to get into his worst instincts,” said Ilya Somin, legal professor at George Mason University and the chairman of B. Kenneth Simon in constitutional studies at the Libertary Cato Institute.

“I wasn't a fan of Jeff Sessions or Bill Barr, but it seemed to me that they had some limits,” added Somin, referring to Trump's Attorney General. “It seems that Pam Bondi has much fewer limits.”

“Not my first rodeo”

Hours before he appeared at the Barnes & Noble, Comey appeared at MSNBC for his first interview since the Instagram post last Thursday.

It showed mussels that were arranged on the beach in the form of “8647”. Trump is the 47th President, and 86, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, can “get rid of”.

Comey said he never thought that the post would generate controversy.

“I really thought I was done,” he said. “I was in another life. I was a grandfather and an author who wore sweater and jeans, and then took a walk on the beach and posted a stupid picture of mussels that I thought was a clever way to express a political point of view.

“And actually I still think. I don't see it the way some people say,” added Comey. “But I don't want a part of a violence. I have never been associated with violence, and that's why I decreased it.”

In 2017, Trump released Comey in the middle of the FBI examination whether the Trump campaign was coordinated with Russia in 2016. He was examined by John Durham, a special consultant who was appointed during the first Trump government to investigate the appropriateness of the FBI's Trump Russia examination, and he was not charged with a crime.

“It's not my first rodeo,” said Comey.

But he was dismayed by the goal of the Trump government on political opponents.

“One of the real problems we currently have in this country is the use of the power of the president who aim at people who do not have my background or my experience,” he said.

“My thing, for me and I hope for everyone else, is just a distraction that disappears on a weekend. But here is something much more important – the use of power to aim at individuals and erod the rule of law.”

Other studies

Last month, the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the FBI officers opened a criminal investigation by the New York General Prosecutor Letitia James, who won a judgment of $ 454 million against Trump last year because she made false statements about a mortgage application.

The Ministry of Homeland Security said this month that a former Federal Officer, the Trump's claims of voting fraud by Trump, Chris Krebs, contested the election fraud of 2020, is the subject of an unadorned investigation by the federal law enforcement authorities.

And the US lawyers' office for the District of Columbia has opened an investigation by Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor, who is now becoming the mayor of New York City, a person who is familiar with the matter said NBC News late Tuesday. The New York Times first reported on the probe, which focuses on Cuomo's congress status on pandemic.

Everyone denies any misconduct.

McIver, MEP of New Jersey, was charged with two attacks, resistance and resistance and disability of two federal immigration officials on a protest outside a migrant liability facility in Newark on May 9. It faces a maximum penalty of eight years in prison if it is convicted, but the sentences usually usually far below the maximum.

“It is a political intimidation and I'm looking forward to my day in court,” Mciver told reporters in Washington on Tuesday.

Federal investigations can dress for years, damage people and exhaust their finances.

“You can hurt them by examining them for three years,” said a former public prosecutor who spoke on the condition of anonymity and undercut the fear of retaliation.

“The question is whether they want to hurt people or judge people?” The former prosecutor added. “The first is simple. The second is difficult. You need evidence.”

In his television interview, Comey was urged to investigate the secret service and said the judiciary was the only government branch that protects him from dubious law enforcement.

“I believe in our judiciary,” said Comey. “I believe that the remaining leg of our three-legged chair-this independent judicial judiciary is living and good, and that gives me great consolation.”
