As we told you yesterday, a grand jury has indicted former FBI Director James Comey, accusing him of threats against the president:

Threats against the President

After a grand jury indicted Comey, some on the Left predictably claimed this was an example of Trump trying to get back at those who went after him, and the media is of course doing its part via the usual "unnamed sources" we've gotten used to:
Former DOJ official tells me: "This might be the worst case DOJ has filed in my lifetime." https://t.co/TCicYv5ggO

First of all, it might be helpful to know who exactly the "ex DOJ official is" when it comes to the credibility of the claim.
“Former DOJ official”

Who? Merrick Garland? Eric Holder?
Why do they insist on staying anonymous, even though they don’t work for the DOJ anymore?
Would the former DOJ official's name rhyme with "Tames Nomey" by any chance?
In any case, that claim that the second Comey indictment could be the worst case the DOJ has brought in many decades is being challenged to say the least. Remember this one?

Yeah, that happened, all while the Left applauded.

Comey's statement was as devoid of self-awareness as the ex DOJ official's comment to CNN:
BREAKING: James Comey has responded after reports of a grand jury indictment on two felony counts.

He says he has no remorse and portrays himself as the victim. pic.twitter.com/MOOnbszurk
Ironic comments after all the years of lawfare efforts against Trump and those in his orbit.
