Episode 168 Trump DOJ Perp Walk Plot Exposed with Grand Jury Indictment

This week, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche unveiled a criminal indictment against former FBI Director James Comey over a May 2025 Instagram post of seashells shaped in the numbers 8647. White House officials claimed the seashells were an assassination threat against Trump. Asha and Renato discuss how a grand jury could have possibly returned an indictment over an Insta photo of seashells, what protections the First Amendment offers and if Trump’s ultimate goal is the spectacle of a Comey perp walk.

Renato and Asha also review the odd-looking court filing in the White House ballroom case that looked in part like a Trump Truth Social post. Tune in! Asha Substack:
