The Comey and James dismissals are a reminder of Trump’s lawlessness | Austin Sarat

A judge tossed indictments against two of the president's political enemies, standing against politicized prosecutions

Yesterday brought good news for two of Donald Trump's most hated enemies: the former FBI director James Comey, and the New York state attorney general, Letitia James. A federal judge dismissed the sham indictments the administration had obtained against them.

Judge Cameron McGowan Currie reminded the president and his attorney general of the great lessons of a society governed by the rule of law: how things are done matters as much as what is done. Without fair procedures, no one can be safe from the arbitrary exercise of government power.
