I don\u2019t want to, but I could. I mean, it\u2019s this crazy world that Donald Trump has dragged this country into, but he could be wearing an ankle bracelet while accepting the nomination at the Republican Convention,\u201d Comey said. \u201cIt would be rejected if you put it in a script for a show, but you could have a president who is potentially incarcerated when he\u2019s elected president.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Comey, who proudly and loudly supported Biden for president in 2020, spent the rest of his time on air fearmongering about the damage a second Trump term could wreak on the nation.<\/p>\n<h3>Grandstanding About Potential Abuse of Power<\/h3>\n<p>Grandstanding about the potential abuse of power by Trump is rich when considering how the FBI under Comey abused its authority to launch a \u201cseriously flawed\u201d investigation into alleged collusion, of which there was no actual evidence, between Trump and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its long history of corruption, Comey claims the FBI is \u201ccompetent, honest, and independent.\u201d That claim isn\u2019t just false. It\u2019s completely tone-deaf to a majority of Americans who say that the FBI is corrupt and must be punished or dismantled.<\/p>\n<p>Comey\u2019s predictions that a second Trump term will be riddled with malfeasance are also ironic given the fact that his preferred political candidate did the exact thing he claims to fear \u2014 weaponizing the federal government against Americans for partisan purposes \u2014 for the last two and a half years.<\/p>\n<h3>Biden&#8217;s Threats to Use Executive Authority<\/h3>\n<p>Biden not only threatened to use his executive authority to disrespect the Supreme Court but also weaponized the federal government against Americans for partisan purposes for the last two and a half years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>James Comey Warns of Dystopian Future Under Trump, Ignores Biden&#8217;s Current Abuses of Power<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Last summer, the Supreme Court\u2019s <em>Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em> decision was met with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-overseeing-weaponization-of-government-against-trump-james-comey-frets-trump-could-weaponize-government\/\" title=\"Comey oversaw weaponization of government against Trump, now fears Trump could do the same.\">pro-abortion mobs protesting<\/a> outside the homes of Republican-nominated justices. The Biden administration explicitly warned U.S. Marshals against arresting these violators of federal law. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to James Comey, former FBI director, Donald Trump is a threat to the rule of law and democracy. He claims that Trump will stop at nothing to obstruct justice and attack anyone who tries to hold him accountable. However, the reality is that the current administration under Joe Biden has already perverted the rule of law, threatened democracy, and obstructed justice to protect his son and corrupt business dealings.<\/p>\n<p>Comey himself has obstructed justice by refusing to give his testimony about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation to Special Counsel John Durham. Despite all of this, Comey reaffirms his allegiance to a regime committed to political persecution and claims that Joe Biden is the only one who abides by the law and the Constitution.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"UGJr6u32givxuNcUnGtozYli7BjsT6ECCZ1EMDqJ5mkPIXwvF14HgLjVAPwta4TDf0RRnMl8BxKyKY\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jen Psaki: &#8220;Do you intend to vote for [Biden] again or is there anyone on the Republican side you might consider?&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>James Comey: &#8220;It has to be Joe Biden!\u2026 The president must be someone who abides the law and our constitution.
