BILL MAHER: Thank you very much. Thank you. Everybody\u2019s in place. Thank you, I appreciate it. Thank you for coming. Thank you.<\/p>\n
Please, there\u2019s 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\u2019t even know he had a talk show. Unbelievable.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s been trying to get Shiffty Schiff. And Letitia James, who prosecuted him in New York, and James Comey, he\u2019s been, shall we say, agitating for this.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t find any evidence.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s going after the former FBI head.<\/p>\n
If this was an episode of Boston Legal, you\u2019d say this show has Jumped the Shark. Thank you.<\/p>\n
Yeah, Lindsay Halligan, did I mention she\u2019s a former beauty pageant contestant? Oh yes, for the talent portion she kissed ass. Thank you.<\/p>\n
So, okay, so if you are tracking the rise of autocracy, okay, we are, we\u2019re past the muzzling dissident phase, and we\u2019re into the prosecuting political enemies phase. I think Trump could be in the general\u2019s uniform by Christmas.<\/p>\n
I, I\u2026 And, you know, this is, this is why it might be good to get back to learning civics, because I don\u2019t 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\u2019re doing it now.<\/p>\n
Trump said, or tweeted, of Comey, he said, \u201cOne of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to.\u201d.<\/p>\n
Worst, worst? Like, like private island having sex with kids worst? I mean, that, that level worse? Wow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BILL MAHER: Thank you very much. Thank you.
