Hello and welcome back to Maine Justice. It is Monday morning, May 4th. I'm Andrew Weissman,

0:10.6

and I'm here with Mary McCord. And Mary, we were just talking about where I am and where you just

0:17.3

came back from. And one day we should do a sort of like, in the three years that we have been doing this,

0:23.9

knock on wood, we have yet to miss a week.

0:27.0

And sometimes, of course, there's been more than one week.

0:29.4

But that's because we take our equipment everywhere.

0:32.3

And so I feel like one day it's going to be like, I'm at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro

0:37.0

doing this podcast. And the others would be like, I'm at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro doing this podcast and the

1:33.3

We have the indictment, the second indictment of James Comey, the former FBI director, this time for an Instagram post that showed a picture of seashells on a beach in North Carolina, spelling out 8647,

1:47.5

and he was now indicted for making a threat against the president of the United States.

1:51.8

Can I just tell you one quick thing about that? So you and I were both in Europe last week,

1:57.3

and I almost took a picture of this and sent it to you, but on a beach in Europe, in the

2:03.8

middle of nowhere, I mean, really nowhere somebody in the sand had scrawled out 8, 6, 4, 7.
