the media is trying to argue that the charges that trump faced were legitimate and the charges comey is facing are illegitimate. but, from what i can see, comey is more likely be convicted of perjury, in the end. i might argue they are probably both political attacks and neither is/was really justified, but we judge the value of a court case by it's outcome and it looks like it's comey that's going to jail.
this isn't an acceptable way to use the system, but the democrats need to take responsibility for starting the fight. it's hard to fault trump for defending himself.
