Summary
Imagine trying to convince a judge that a photo of seashells on a beach is actually a coded assassination plot. It sounds like a rejected script from a B-movie, but it is the current legal strategy being used to target James Comey. Michael Steele peels back the layers of what can only be described as the "epitome of dumb." We’re looking at a legal team so desperate to appease their "audience of one" that they are attempting to criminalize the word "86"—a term every restaurant server in America knows—while conveniently ignoring when their own allies use the exact same language to describe political rivals.

| 0:32.2 | forgive me, little to zero evidence of crimes, no predication, no reason to go forward. But she didn't push as |
