Congressman Cohen Blasts Baseless and Corrupt New Comey Indictment

WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, reviewed the rationale for a second baseless indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, and made the following statement:

"James Comey's photo of a colorful artistic expression of seashells on the beach was not threatening to President Trump. I've long known the symbol '86' as a restaurant kitchen term for 'we're out of it.' Trump is out of it. The continued weaponization of the U.S. Department of Justice and its campaign to go after Trump's perceived enemies must end. The First Amendment of the Constitution was designed to prevent a vindictive President from using the power of the federal government to arrest and potentially jail those expressing dissenting views."
