Foreign. The United States government has turned into a concierge service for a completely broken, demented man that lies about his height, about his weight, and in our non medical opinion, has full blown dementia. He has a little hit list of enemies that he would like to prosecute because he doesn't give a shit about any of the needs or services that Americans would like to get from their government. And of course he's going after James Comey. The Justice Department officials race to charge James Comey as deadline looms. Prosecutors are moving forward days after President Trump ousted US Attorney who voiced doubts about charging former FBI director. And Pumps, I believe that this U.S. attorney had been investigating this for nine months, correct?
Pumps
Correct. He was a Trump appointee. Trump appointed him in Trump 2.0. But because there was no evidence or probable cause to charge James Comey, he got fired. Because Trump, as we saw with his truth social post, he wants these people, people prosecuted that he doesn't like.
Host
So we can deduce from that in the tea leaves that he wants people to manufacture evidence.
Pumps
Of course he does. He's a criminal.
Host
So this leads me to all of the information we're currently getting out of sycophant ass kisser, Beta male, crazy eyed cash money, Ching Ching Patel's FBI. And that's why I call Beta on all of it because I just, it's crazy living in an America where we cannot trust our agencies and institutions at all and even a Trump appointee can't be a big enough piece of for him. So moving along here, put up the next slide. Kylie, newly appointed U.S. attorney will attempt to charge James Comey despite prosecutors finding no probable cause. Pumps explained for the layman why, what probable cause is.
Pumps
The feds have to go to a grand jury and present their evidence and they have to have the grand jury say it's more probable than not, I would say 51, 52% probable to indict. So his prosecutor that he appointed did not think there was a 51% chance he could make these charges stick.
Host
Okay, and then here's an excerpt from that article. Earlier this week, prosecutors presented Lindsey Halligan, Trump's former personal attorney, whom he appointed to lead the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia with a detailed memo recommending that she declined to bring perjury and obstruction charges against Comey. The sources familiar with the memo said, so Pumps, basically he has appointed somebody to go do his bidding. And let me ask you this. The text message or DM that it appeared that he sent to Pam Bondi that came out that was basically like, you're not prosecuting my enemies. Right. Does that lead a judge to throw this whole thing out because it's clear that this is targeted weaponization and abuse of his office?
Pumps
I think you could, like a Democratic Justice Department or an independent Justice Department can make that claim in this case. I don't think it will get that far because I don't think a grand jury will indict because they don't have probable cause.
Host
Okay, and then who is Lindsay? All right, so put this up. Lindsay is a former Miss Colorado USA 2010 top five. There we have Lindsey Halligan. She was a pageant queen. And we all know who owned these pageants. Interestingly here, you guys, you cannot make this up. Fourth runner up is Erica Franz V. Who is now known as Erica Kirk. So Trump's new attorney that has never tried a case in her life, I don't think was in the. In the pageant with Charlie Kirk's widow.
Pumps
Yeah. Third runner up, Lindsay. Fourth runner up, Erica.
Host
All right, let's listen to this great legal mind. Let's just listen to this pleasant past. Yeah.
Legal Analyst
I mean, it's. It's not about whitewashing. It's all about full context. So while. While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery, honestly, unless you also talk about hope and progress. And I think we can.
Pumps
Can you imagine getting on TV and saying you can't talk about slavery unless you talk. Talk about hope and progress? And even there, she was so ineloquent.
Host
While. While.
Pumps
Good.
Host
Do you remember that girl that was in the pageant, and it was probably about 15 years ago, and they asked her, and she's like, because Americans don't use maps and because of the Iraq and stuff like that. I mean, that's exactly the vibes that she's giving right there. Okay, and then moving along, next one.
News Reporter
We are being told this by three sources that an indictment of Comey is expected in the coming days. They're also saying that this same office is expected to charge Tish James, the New York Attorney General, with mortgage fraud, and, of course, Donald Trump. We all saw it posted on Truth Social in recent days, exhorting his Attorney General to charge both of those people as soon as possible. But again, you know, this is grand. Juries are secret. This is a fluid situation. It's also important to know, though, that the U.S. attorney, the Trump appointed U.S. attorney in this office, Eric Siebert, was essentially forced out last week in part because he was Refusing to bring these cases. We're told that he was opposed to both, to prosecuting both James and Comey on these grounds. And he's out now. And the new U.S. attorney is a former Donald Trump defense lawyer who's never prosecuted a case.
Host
All right, stop right there. This broad has never prosecuted a case, is a Trump sycophant to the highest order. This is everything that they spoke about. Maga, all of the MAGA influencers and Fox News. It's a swamp. It's corrupt. Weaponization of government was mere projection.
Pumps
Absolutely.
Host
And so now they're coming in and they've made the government a swamp. And basically all of these agencies now are Donald Trump kanks evil concierge service. He wants them to curry favor for him. And this is a mob boss meets dementia care center, meets bad interior designer meets broken, malignant narcissist. This is bonkers. And what's so horrible. And we'll let Pump speak about this. My husband isn't a criminal defense attorney, and he has a lot of friends that are U.S. attorneys, and these are serious people that studied and believe in the rule of law. Thousands and thousands and thousands of attorneys, and they are making a mockery of this entire thing.
Pumps
Federal prosecutors are smart and they're dedicated. So this is a slap in the face to them. But I just want to remind Lindsey all of Trump's attorneys that represent presented him in the election case. Disbarred, suspended, sued criminals. Now, so she needs to watch out because Trump may be immune from this stuff, but even this, this sounds a little outside the immunity. If they wanted to prosecute him, she's not.
Host
Let's face it, the Roberts court is never going to make this man feel anything.
Pumps
You're right.
Host
Other than supported and coddled and rocked and breastfed and burped and a diaper change on top of it because we all know he wears diapers. And so what is this whole thing about, this whole James Comey Donald Trump feud? Because I Remember back during 2016, James Comey totally fucked the Democrats. Hillary was up in the polls and then there was some emails and he comes out and announces it. And then she dropped in the polls and it was he total her and delivered the presidency. Trump 1.0 to Kanks, which led to all this later. So Kylie put this up. Giuliani Trump fired Comey because former FBI director wouldn't say he wasn't a target in investigation. So basically, when Trump came on, Comey was still the FBI director. And I guess at this point they were investigating Trump, Yes, The Russia Gate.
Pumps
Okay, so he wanted Comey to say publicly, Trump is not a target of Russiagate. And Comey couldn't do that in good conscience and an ethical nature. And so Trump got mad. And you just have to remember Bill Barr went ahead and did Trump's bidding. Up to a point, everybody that is in Trump's orbit, they have to do what he says. And because he couldn't with an ethical conscience. And I'm no fan of James Comey, but I'm just saying he was like, I can't do this. And toast Trump's like, you're out. And then of course he goes back and forth on why I fired him. But his then attorney, Rudy Giuliani said it straight up. And then Trump said it, then he tried to walk it back.
Host
Okay, and then let's one more tidbit here. The bizarre and toxic feud between Trump and the Comeys will run and run. And here's a little excerpt from this. The President told NBC News Lester Holt that he fired Comey over the investigation into the Russia collusion. Comey said that he was summoned to the White House for an uncomfortable one on one dinner with Trump a week into his first term and asked to pledge loyalty to the President in a breach of protocol by which FBI directors have sought distance from the Oval Office. So this all goes back to Trump 1.0 because he is so butthurt that Joe Biden beat him by like 8 to 10 million votes. Because once, here's the thing about Trump, when he's campaigning, sadly, the American public finds it entertaining and doesn't take him seriously. And then the moment he starts governing, all this fuckery happens. And in Trump 1.0, you had people that put up guardrails. Even Bill Barr, who was a total sycophant, wouldn't go as far as Trump wanted him to, and James Comey wouldn't. So he holds these little grudges and now he's using the FBI, the doj, Homeland Security, everybody and anybody that he can to be his evil concierge service.
Pumps
And you know what? I look at this Trump, you always hear him talk about loyalty and he wanted Comey to make a loyalty pledge. People don't ask you to make a loyalty pledge unless they want you to do shady shit. I mean, you know, I've never asked you for a loyalty pledge because I've never asked you to break the law for me.
Host
I mean, it's just, it is so.
Pumps
Obscene how this whole thing works. And Pam Bondi is just like, Lap dog can't get it done quick enough.
Host
It's just, it's so crazy and it's such a layup for Democrats. We're playing two different games here and we're writing strongly worded letters and demanding sit down interviews. Meanwhile, as Putin, Netanyahu are dog walking Trump, Trump has Jeffries and Schumer. They're little Pomeranians with pink bows on their hair and he's sitting in the oval just evil like Dr. Evil just petting them and fluffing up their hair. It's unbelievably pathetic. The Democratic response to all of this. They should whip up and immediately say no across the board and quit around. The American people would love it. Yeah, they would love it. They're just dying for leadership. Dying for it. All right. That's all we have with this unbelievable story. And we'll be back later today with more news.
