James Comey Is Finally Facing Justice. The Left's Response Tells You Everything.

For years, they told you James Comey was a patriot. A hero. A man of integrity standing alone against a rogue president. The networks praised him. He wrote a bestselling book. He gave speeches for $50,000 a pop. He was, we were told, exactly the kind of selfless public servant our institutions needed.

Now he's been indicted.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made clear on Monday that the case against Comey isn't built on a single Instagram post — the one showing seashells arranged to look like the number "8647," which is shorthand for killing the 47th president of the United States. That post may have triggered the investigation. But Blanche says the case reflects 11 months of evidence collection. Eleven months. This wasn't a snap decision. Someone at the Justice Department looked at Comey's conduct — the totality of it — and concluded there was a case to be made.

Think about what that means. The man who ran the FBI. The man who launched the Russia investigation. The man who briefed Trump on the Steele dossier while his agents were using that same dossier to surveil Trump's campaign associates. The man who leaked his own memos to the press to trigger a special counsel. That man is now a criminal defendant.

The establishment doesn't know how to process this. They've spent years insisting that accountability only flows one direction.

So naturally, they responded by proving the point.

At May Day protests over the weekend, demonstrators held up "86 47" signs. The same slogan Comey posted. The same phrase that means, in plain language, kill the president. Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu — a sitting United States representative — posted "86 47" on his own social media. This was after the third assassination attempt on Donald Trump. After a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. After yet another failed effort to kill a sitting American president.

And a member of Congress thinks this is the appropriate moment to post a slogan that means "kill the 47th president."

Nobody in the mainstream media will tell you this is disqualifying. They won't ask Lieu to resign. They won't demand he explain himself on CNN. Because in the world they've built, the rules don't apply to people on their side.
Ask yourself why.

In Wisconsin, the brewpub owner who publicly pledged free beer to his customers if Trump died — Kirk Bangstad — is now running for governor. He's not hiding from his statement. He's running on it. An FBI investigation into him remains "ongoing," according to federal spokespersons. He's campaigning anyway.

In Pennsylvania, a man named Raymond Chandler III was arrested after leaving messages urging Senator John Fetterman to assassinate the president. He's in custody. But he won't be the last. Because the rhetoric that produces people like him comes from somewhere. It comes from cable news panels that called Trump Hitler for five straight years. It comes from congressmen who post death slogans after assassination attempts. It comes from a culture that decided political violence was acceptable as long as it flowed in the right direction.

Even Bill Maher — not exactly a MAGA ally — stood up and told his audience directly: if you were hoping Trump died in the last assassination attempt, "you're not a good person." The crowd went quiet.

That's how far gone things are. Bill Maher is now the voice of reason.

Here's what's actually happening. For the first time in a long time, the machinery of accountability is being turned in an unfamiliar direction. Comey is indicted. The SPLC — which spent years feeding the FBI's domestic terror designations — is now under federal indictment for fraud and money laundering. The people who ran the institutions that were supposedly protecting democracy are now answering for their conduct.

And the left's response is to post death threats and march with assassination slogans.

That tells you exactly who they are.

They were never worried about the rule of law. They were worried about losing control of it. Now that they have, they're not appealing to norms or principles or democratic values. They're holding up signs that say "kill the president."

Watch what they do when the walls close in. They're showing you right now.
