A grand jury indicts Comey again, this time over seashells
A grand jury indicts James Comey a second time—over a social-media photo of seashells reading “8647,” charged as a threat against the president—after a federal judge dismissed the first case in November, without prejudice, on the ground that the prosecutor who brought it was unlawfully appointed. Two Virginia grand juries had already refused to indict Letitia James.

Why it matters
When enforcement power is steered toward critics or away from allies, the law stops operating as a neutral public institution. It is tracked here under “Prosecute political opponents”; the classification describes the documented institutional risk, not a claim about motive.
