Fox News legal contributor Jonathan Turley wasn’t going to bury his head in the sand after the Trump administration indicted ex-FBI Director James Comey for a beach photo he posted last year. (Watch the video below.)
Turley appeared skeptical of the development in an interview with the conservative channel on Tuesday.
Comey was indicted again by Donald Trump’s Justice Department, this time for allegedly threatening the president by sharing a photo of seashells arranged on the sand in the shape of “86 47.”
The accusation reinforced the administration’s apparent effort to attack those Trump considers to be enemies through prosecution. But the case is flimsy, according to some legal experts.
The slang “86” usually refers to throwing someone out of an establishment, not murder or bodily harm, as advocates for the president seem to be insisting in the criminal accusation.
