Former GOP speechwriter Tim Miller was stunned at the new developments revealing potential misconduct in the criminal charges being brought against former FBI Director James Comey — and on MS NOW’s “Deadline: White House” Wednesday, compared this series of events to something that would happen in a tinpot dictatorship.
This comes after a bombshell report that acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who is overseeing the case, never even presented the second indictment against Comey to the grand jury.
“I’m just a simple country podcaster, so I can’t get into the details … but I look at all this and it’s just it’s blatantly incompetent, right?” Miller told anchor Nicolle Wallace. “And so I don’t know how much more time is necessary to spend on that. To me, it’s like the incompetence almost papers over the perniciousness of this, right?”
“I don’t know why this struck me in particular, but I was looking at this selfie that Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, took with Pam Bondi at the state dinner with MBS last night,” said Miller. “I was just looking at that and I was like, that, just, picture in contrast with this story. You know, to me, I just found it extremely gross, right? Because I think that there’s something to the fact that we all kind of know that this is a preposterous case and that Jim Comey is not a real criminal and that they’re doing this for show. And so the stakes feel a little bit low for people at some level. But to me it’s like, look, this is the government of the United States. That’s the attorney general, in that selfie with a tech CEO, who is ordering an investigation against a political foe.”
“That’s purely political. It’s based on nothing,” he continued. “It’s just based on pure politics because their boss told her to do so, like it’s a banana republic. And she assigned an insurance — Florida insurance lawyer to do it because none of the professionals would actually do it. And then that lawyer botches it so badly that the judge is gobsmacked.”
“Like, to me, that series of facts would make — you know, would want to make anybody in polite society want to say, I don’t want to be seen with Pam Bondi,” Miller added. “Like, what she is doing is a frontal assault on the rule of law. She’s doing it in an extremely incompetent manner. So maybe the risk is a little bit lower than if there was an attorney general who is really good at assaulting the rule of law and going after their political foes. But, I mean, it is, it’s really outrageous, you know, when you look at it from kind of that 30,000-foot perspective.”
