Not that I think they have much use for Comey either, but these were people who actually Trump hand selected people who looked very hard at this case, and tried to make it and decided that they didn't have the case."
"Line then played a clip of Trump talking about the matter earlier that day. I can't tell you what's going to happen because I don't know. You have very professional people, headed up by the attorney general; they're going to make a determination. I'm not making that determination. I think I'd be allowed to get involved if I want, but I don't really choose to do so, said Trump. Andy, what are your thoughts on that perspective? inquired Line."
Andy McCarthy expressed opposition to pursuing a prosecution of James Comey and warned of political pressure to bring charges. McCarthy noted that prosecutors hand-selected by Trump had previously examined the matter and concluded they did not have a case. McCarthy described a perjury prosecution as difficult to bring and said he was suspicious that evidence may be lacking. President Donald Trump posted urging prosecutorial action and later said he would not intervene, a position McCarthy found hard to reconcile with the public pressure. Media reporting indicated an indictment of Comey was expected in the coming days.
