James Comey, the former director of the FBI, six years ago gave classified material to the New York Times through the intermediary of a friend on the faculty of the Columbia Law School. Comey, left unpursued by the Justice Department in which he once held a high position, nevertheless last week judged the indictment of Trump for the same offense: “A good day for the rule of law.”
Is it “a good day for the rule of law” when Donald Trump’s main political enemies — Comey, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden — all abscond with classified material without legal repercussions, but the former president faces 400 years in prison?
Put another way, Trump faces the same punishment as the Want-Ad Killer — who died earlier this year after serving an eighth of that sentence — a rapist and/or murderer of known victims from age 13 to 58. Comey, Clinton, and Biden, in contrast to Trump, did not, and will not, even face misdemeanor charges.
