The FBI is considering carrying out a “showy” arrest and perp walk of the agency’s now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, and has suspended an agent who refused to participate in the plan, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Ray refused to participate in this plan, believing it would be inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey, according to the source. He was then suspended for insubordination.
The FBI is now actively working to put together a team to arrest Comey between now and his court appearance on Thursday, but other FBI supervisors have also refused to cooperate, said a source knowledgeable about the conversions and a law enforcement source familiar with the situation. The expectation is that the FBI will eventually find somebody.
So it’s fine to parade a person around after an arrest for political reasons so long as they’re a lower-class peasant.
Even when the FBI does the right thing they do it for the wrong reasons.
Of everyone this administration is victimizing, this is one man I do not care about.
If he was the only person they were persecuting, I would probably feel a lot differently.
So while I’m very sad for what this means for our country, I do find a little pleasure in watching an unjust persecution of someone who at least deserves bad things happening to them, because he is in large part to blame for this.
Truly a bittersweet taste of irony.
