BILL MAHER: Thank you very much. Thank you. Everybody’s in place. Thank you, I appreciate it. Thank you for coming. Thank you.
Please, there’s so much news to get to. Big story, this just happened. James Comey, our former FBI director, was indicted today by the Trump administration. I didn’t even know he had a talk show. Unbelievable.
Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Trump is in his we caught you with your tail light out phase of justice. They will find something to pull you over for.
He’s been trying to get Shiffty Schiff. And Letitia James, who prosecuted him in New York, and James Comey, he’s been, shall we say, agitating for this.
There was a guy, Eric Siebert, he was the attorney general, US attorney there in Virginia, and they wanted him to indict Letitias James. He came back and said, boss, I can’t find any evidence.
FIRED! FIRED! Canned his ass, put in Lindsay Halligan, she is an insurance lawyer, 36 years old, his personal lawyer, never prosecuted anybody, and now she’s going after the former FBI head.
If this was an episode of Boston Legal, you’d say this show has Jumped the Shark. Thank you.
Yeah, Lindsay Halligan, did I mention she’s a former beauty pageant contestant? Oh yes, for the talent portion she kissed ass. Thank you.
So, okay, so if you are tracking the rise of autocracy, okay, we are, we’re past the muzzling dissident phase, and we’re into the prosecuting political enemies phase. I think Trump could be in the general’s uniform by Christmas.
I, I… And, you know, this is, this is why it might be good to get back to learning civics, because I don’t know if people understand this. Presidents are not supposed to comment at all on ongoing investigations. This is the way we always did it. This is not exactly how we’re doing it now.
Trump said, or tweeted, of Comey, he said, “One of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to.”.
Worst, worst? Like, like private island having sex with kids worst? I mean, that, that level worse? Wow.
