Judge Andrew Napolitano Says Frivolous' Comey Indictment Will Be Tossed Before Trial: There's No Crime Here'

"I don't think it matters that there's a relatively conservative jury base here because I don't think this case will ever see a jury. There's no crime here under several Supreme Court opinions, one of which says if there's a passage of time between the alleged threat and any harm caused, that dissipates the threat, and it also gives the person threatened the opportunity to challenge it."

"If there is any non-criminal interpretation of the speech, that trumps the criminal aspect. So are there other meanings to '86 47 besides I want to kill the president'? Right. 86 could mean cancel the presidency."

"I think the case is frivolous. I'm not a fan of Comey's at all, and I've never hesitated to criticize him, and we all know what almost happened to the president of the United States the other night and on two dreadful prior occasions."

"This is a political vendetta against a political adversary and it shouldn't be using the Justice Department as a means for that."

Andrew Napolitano criticized the indictment of James Comey as a political vendetta, predicting it will be dismissed. He emphasized that there is no crime under Supreme Court opinions, particularly regarding the interpretation of threats. Napolitano argued that if Comey posed a real threat, charges would have been filed earlier. He highlighted the importance of free speech, stating that any non-criminal interpretation of Comey's words protects him legally. Napolitano expressed skepticism about the case's validity and anticipated a motion to dismiss based on these principles.
