When the dust settles it may be that instead of Comey being punished, it will be Halligan and Bondi facing consequences for their unethical, unprofessional actions. www.thebulwark.com/p/bondi-hall...
Bondi and Halligan’s Spectacularly Bad Lawyering for Trump
The Department of Justice’s inappropriate, unethical, and incompetent actions in the case against James Comey are veering toward “uncharted legal territory.”

Comey stated that "a message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.” If only that were so. Trump's assault on the rule of law is not over.

Trump’s pardons of Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and others indicted under state law for election-related conspiracies and other state law crimes are legally invalid. The move is an unconstitutional power grab from the states, possibly designed to wind up in litigation and ultimately the Supreme Court.
