I'm going to die laughing, it looks like Trump will in fact prosecute (and convict and sentence??) Comey for what he did to Hillary: For Trump, Comey’s handling of the investigation into him and his campaign has been at the top of the agenda. He has accused Comey of being corrupt and of damaging his first term by leaking against him. That the two counts Comey faces may be instead about alleged leaks related to the Clinton investigation represents the irony of the latest developments. Clinton has long accused Comey of damaging her campaign and swinging the election to Trump. cnn.com Now really Trump is pissed at Comey for what he thinks Comey did to him, but he will prosecute him for what he did to Hillary, and what can the Dems say about that??

The Prince, chapter 7 Hopefully history won't rhyme here: ....At this point the duke decided that such draconian powers were no longer necessary and might cause resentment. So he set up a civil court of law in the middle of the territory 9780141442259_ThePrince_TXT.indd 28 28/05/2015 14:14 states won by lucky circumstance 29 to which every town was to send a representative and he placed a distinguished man in charge. And since he was aware that the recent severity had led some people to hate him, in order to have them change their minds, and hence win them over entirely to his side, he decided to show that if the regime had been cruel, that was due to the brutal nature of his minister, not to him. So as soon as he found a pretext, he had de Orco beheaded and his corpse put on display one morning in the piazza in Cesena with a wooden block and a bloody knife beside. The ferocity of the spectacle left people both gratified and shocked.... deOrco \|\| Stephen Miller? The DUI hire, I still see as a stupid version of a court jester. Were those common in Renaissance Italy?
