I wrote yesterday about former FBI Director James Comey apparently making an assassination threat against President Trump. Democrats love to talk about killing Trump; it is almost a fetish with them. For some reason, they think Trump won’t take it amiss, despite the fact that he was actually shot on the campaign trail.
But the President is indeed taking it seriously:
🚨BREAKING: President Trump goes scorched earth on James Comey for the assassination threat, says he knew exactly what “8647” meant:
“You’re the FBI director.. You know that meant assassination. He wasn’t very competent, but he’s competent enough to know what that meant..” pic.twitter.com/sFwoRHRFMw

As is Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin. Martin himself has been relentlessly smeared by Democrats, and has no incentive to cut Comey slack. He apparently takes seriously the possibility that James Comey could go to prison:
🚨BREAKING: Associate Deputy AG Ed Martin says James Comey is going to prison over Trump assassination threat — Either lie to the jury or admit he knew what “8647” meant:
“He knew… He’s got a problem. Perjury traps are next. Going to jail on one or the other.” pic.twitter.com/VYA6cYe2dM

In the end, any prosecution of Comey will be up to Attorney General Pam Bondi. I doubt that Comey will be charged, and I very much doubt that he will serve time in a penitentiary. But he will have some very bad moments in the weeks to come.
