The Grand Conspiracy Against President Trump

BREAKING: Former Federal Prosecutor Reveals Obama Prosecution Possible in ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Case Against President Trump; Says James Comey’s “8647” Indictment Will Likely Survive First Amendment Challenges by Defense Under True Threats Doctrine

This week on Straight to the Point, I sat down with former DOJ official and longtime federal prosecutor Jim Trusty for a wide-ranging interview on the expanding investigations into Obama-era intelligence and law enforcement officials dubbed “The Grand Conspiracy."

Trusty identified 18 USC 242 as the leading statute for prosecutions in the alleged ‘grand conspiracy’ against President Trump and discusses how former CIA Director John Brennan’s TV appearances and recently published book might have restarted the statute of limitations. Trusty also addressed James Comey's recent “8647” threat indictment, possible superseding false statements charges, and whether the root of it all was an effort to undermine an incoming President.

Responding to the NC indictment, former FBI Director Comey said he is still innocent, not afraid, and believes in the independent judiciary.

John Brennan has called the investigation politically motivated.

Columbia Law School Professor Daniel Richman has not responded to repeated requests for comment.
