If Comey were held to the standard that he and his fellow coup plotters and lawfare insurrectionists have held Trump, he likely would have been prosecuted many times over for his abuses of power; his leadership in what amounted to a conspiracy to destroy a president — including to systematically violate or deprive the commander in chief and those in his orbit of their rights; and his running of information operations against the American people aimed at interfering in our domestic politics and defrauding the country. //

Comey’s animus towards Trump is beyond well-established. He is not ignorant of what 86 47 means. Nor is he unaware of the fact that the president faced two assassination attempts in the last year. For all these reasons, an argument could be made that Comey is being shown grace by the Trump administration in merely being investigated by the Secret Service over a post obviously calling for his assassination to his followers.

If he is to be interviewed, as my colleague at RealClearPolitics Susan Crabtree has suggested may occur, one can bet he won’t be ambushed and trapped in a bid to do to him what his FBI did to Flynn. Odds are, Comey will enjoy the protections of a system that he did not afford his own political opponents and avoid prosecution.
