MAGA senator admits Trump's revenge bid is likely a loser

Johnson went along with the idea, although he acknowledged that it was unlikely to yield any substantive results. I don't think there will be a conviction, Johnson told Raw Story. The three-page indictment against Comey stems from a picture he posted on his Instagram page of seashells arranged to read 86 47, a phrase that some people on the right have said is a veiled threat. The indictment charges Comey with two felonies, one for threatening the president's life and the other for interstate communication violations. Comey has denied all wrongdoing. Even though Johnson said there likely won't be a conviction, he added that Comey should pay an enormous legal price. The harm of what he did is almost incalculable, Johnson said about Comey's post. They should pay an enormous legal price. They put this country through the kind of political turmoil, investigations, and impeachments that Russia and China could only dream of, Johnson said. What's the legal price they gotta pay for that harm?
