The Department of Justice has indicted former FBI Director James Comey for the second time in less than a year.
James Comey has been charged with one count of knowingly and willfully threatening the life of the president and one count of making an interstate threat to kill the president.
The indictment against James Comey, filed in eastern North Carolina, includes two felony counts, each punishable by up to five years in prison.
A previous Department of Justice indictment against James Comey on charges of lying to and obstructing Congress was dismissed in late November after a judge ruled the prosecutor was illegally appointed.
Robert Mintz predicts that James Comey's defense will argue the case is a selective and politically motivated prosecution.
Robert Mintz believes it will be an "uphill battle" for prosecutors to convince a jury that James Comey's social media post constituted an imminent threat rather than protected political speech.
The Department of Justice is reportedly considering indicting New York Attorney General Letitia James after an initial indictment failed.
In the case of Watts v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that a protester's statement about getting President Lyndon B. Johnson in his sights was "political hyperbole" and not a true threat.
