FLASHBACK: James Comey Says He Prosecuted Martha Stewart “Because If It Was Jane Doe She Would Have Been Prosecuted”
Destiny called and James Comey choked. It will forever be his legacy. He should resign now!
James Comey Says He Prosecuted Martha Stewart “Because If It Was Jane Doe She Would Have Been Prosecuted”
The same is true in the Hillary Clinton case. But suddenly, Comey is using the completely opposite standard.
Excerpted from U.S. News & World Report, May 30, 2013: Before joining the Bush administration, Comey served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2002 to 2003, where he prosecuted WorldCom executives for fraud and Martha Stewart for lying about insider trading. He handled the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing investigation as an assistant U.S. attorney in Virginia and was lead prosecutor in the 1993 murder and racketeering case against mobster John Gambino.
Comey decided to charge Stewart, who ultimately served five months in jail, because “if it was Jane Doe she would have been prosecuted,” he told the student newspaper. “[T]here were 2,000 cases by the Justice Department that year for providing false statements during an investigation. I thought of my hesitation about the case due to someone being rich and famous, and how it shouldn’t be that way. I decided we had to do it.” Read the whole thing
I hope you either paid or were paid by Donald Trump to regurgitate his talking points. I do believe he’s trying to resurrect Trump University by going after those who attack his trademarks like “Crooked Hillary”.
