The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.
If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney.

Raid his home at 0500, drag him out in his underwear and handcuffs in front of his family and neighbors, and be sure to have media embedded and cameras rolling. No arranging with his attorney in advance to come in for questioning. After all, “no one is above the law”, right?

He’s one of “them”, and nothing will come of this, and the smug, arrogant, liar will skate. And he knows it. I’m sure he’s already reached out to all the necessary people to stop any investigation from going forward.

James Comey .....
August, 2019
"although he did violate agency policy by taking home unclassified memos and ensuring that they would be leaked to the press."
"The Office of the Inspector General for the Justice Department investigated Comey for leaking his own memos describing conversations with President Trump to his friend, Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia University's law school. Richman then provided the contents of the memo to a reporter at The New York Times who wrote about it."

The SecServ need to grill him extensively while reminding him it is a crime to lie to the Feds.

Comey is a vain arsehole who harbors a grudge against Trump who rightly fired him during his first Admin. He let Hillary Clinton skate on espionage charges that I or anyone else would be serving back to back life sentences in a Fed penitentiary somewhere. Now the former head of the FBI is playing with seashells on the beach. 86 47.......it spelled out. And now he's playing dumb, saying he didn't realize what 86 meant. Jimmy, you need a comeuppance, ASA-freakin'-P.

Could?? WTH - do we have two tier justice system? Just because he was mistakenly put in charge of the FBI, he is a dirty cop, a serial liar, and suffers from TDS.

I know, #1, I could barely get past the first sentence. The SS “MAY try to force..” this lawbreaking traitorous creep a few questions? I expect this garbage out of the UK government - utter cowardice to confront wrongdoing or evil. What the heck has happened to the Secret Service?
We should not be okay with this at all. Grow some b*lls!!!
