It seems that unless you wish to sign up for Trump's criminal enterprise then doing his bidding is career death in US Law.

I hope some Simple Sabotage is being applied to the demands of the corrupt DoJ, a good lawyer should know how to do that...

Court ruling on protest speech raises questions for DOJ case against James Comey

A recent federal court ruling in an unrelated case has drawn attention to potential implications for the Trump Justice Department’s criminal prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey. The case itself centers on a dispute involving a protest outside a federal courthouse near the National Mall, where a liberal advocacy group has been displaying a large banner reading “86-47,” a slogan critics interpreted as threatening but supporters argue refers to removing President Donald Trump from office. A National Park Service official attempted to force the removal of the banner, calling it obscene and unprotected speech, and the group alleged harassment from federal authorities, including the Secret Service. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss issued a two-week restraining order preventing the National Park Service from interfering with the protest, ruling that the phrase constituted political speech protected under the First Amendment. He acknowledged concerns about rising political violence but emphasized that the slogan, in context, reasonably referred to political removal rather than incitement to violence. This interpretation could have broader implications for a separate Justice Department case against James Comey. Comey has been charged over a social media post featuring seashells arranged in the sequence “8647,” which prosecutors have suggested could be interpreted as a violent message. Comey has denied any intent to threaten violence and later deleted the post and apologized. Following the court ruling, legal observers note that the reasoning could weaken arguments that similar expressions constitute criminal threats. The report also notes internal shifts within the Justice Department, including the reassignment of a prosecutor involved in the Comey case, adding further uncertainty to the prosecution’s direction.
