The #DOJ would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that #Comey intentionally lied to the #Senate cmte, “not just that he got something wrong,” Robert Kelner, a lawyer at the firm Covington & Burling, who has represented the #Republican National Cmte & other Republican organizations, posted.

“What evidence do they have for that?” Kelner said, adding, “This isn’t a serious case.”

“This is what prosecutors do in #dictatorships,” Richard W. Painter, a #law professor at the University of MN who served as the chief #ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, posted.

…#Comey appeared to take the news of the indictment calmly, responding in a video posted on social media. “We will not live on our knees, & you shouldn’t either…I have great confidence in the federal justice system & I’m innocent, so let’s have a trial.”
