Feds Open Investigation After ‘86 47’ Burned Into Grass On National Mall

Jordan then broadened his criticism, tying the controversy to Comey’s role in the early Trump-Russia investigation.

“But you can’t threaten the president,” Jordan said. “I think it’s important to remember this is Jim Comey who started it all.”

“This 10-year attack on the president of the United States, on President Trump started with Comey,” he continued.

A federal judge has been assigned to preside over Comey’s case after the Justice Department issued new charges against him late last month.

U.S. District Judge Louise W. Flanagan of the Eastern District of North Carolina was appointed by George W. Bush and is considered to be right-leaning, according to Ballotpedia.

In an interview last weekend, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made it clear that Comey’s indictment was the result of a year-long investigation and had much more to it than his seashells photo posted to Instagram.

“Every case requires an investigation, and what you just showed is one part of that investigation. What you just showed is the Instagram post,” he told Fox News.
