"McCarthy went on to forensically pick apart the DOJ's case, eventually concluding that, there is no way the government could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Senator [Ted] Cruz was asking Comey about someone other than [Andrew] McCabe, much less that Comey understood that Cruz was doing so and willfully lied about it. The indictment is inadequately pled and factually without foundation. It should be dismissed, he added."
"I think, you know, the people who've looked at this, Molly, so far, it's not like a bunch of Biden or Hillary Clinton prosecutors have gotten together and sort of whitewashed this thing. Not that I think they have much use for Comey either, but these were people who actually Trump hand selected people who looked very hard at this case, and tried to make it and decided that they didn't have the case, he explained."
The Trump DOJ indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is incoherently drafted and fails to fulfill an indictment's constitutional purpose. The case against Comey is so ill-conceived that increased scrutiny only makes it weaker. The indictment cannot establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Senator Ted Cruz was referring to someone other than Andrew McCabe, nor that Comey understood and willfully lied about such a reference. The indictment is inadequately pleaded and factually without foundation and should be dismissed. Prior prosecutors hand-selected by the Trump administration examined the case and declined to bring charges. Perjury prosecutions are difficult and concerns exist about political pressure.
