Elie Honig Calls Comey Re-Indictment 'Deeply Flawed'
Former prosecutor Elie Honig said the case faces major legal weaknesses after a Virginia grand jury previously declined to indict Letitia James.
- On Tuesday, the Department of Justice indicted former FBI Director James Comey regarding a social media post featuring seashells that critics say may struggle to stand up in court.
- Prosecutors allege the post, which James Comey later deleted, constituted a "smoking shell" threat against President Donald Trump. Comey previously stated he viewed the post as a "political message."
- Former prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN anchor Jake Tapper the indictment is "deeply flawed," citing concerns about the prosecution's ethical foundation and legal merit.
- CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins reported that one former DOJ official called this "might be the worst case DOJ has filed in my lifetime," amid a pattern of failed prosecutions.
