#2 I keep flashing on the pictures from Nuremberg and the Stalin purge trials with 150 defendants facing the dozen or so judges in a dark courtroom with armed guards.

#3 Richman is looking at a charge of releasing Comey's Confidential memos. I guess he couldn't use the spousal exemption

#4 Could be worse.
He could have claimed to be Comey's wife.

#6 This shouldn't be allowed since Comey's buddy was complicit in the criminality (leaking of classified info). Comey pulled this $hit with Hillary's servergate. Recall that Hillary made Cherl Mills her attorney and she was allowed to sit in on the questioning of Hillary. Hillary and Mills then invoked attorney-client privilege thus hiding behind that screen. To further protect Clinton and other associates in the cabal were granted immunity by Comey.

#9 What Matt said - I'd want to see the signed engagement letter, a copy of the retainer fee check (both sides) that Comey wrote and a copy of the part of Comey's monthly bank statement showing that it cleared before I'd allow this 'privilege' to stand in court.

#10 Since he released the memo would attorney/client priveledge not apply as a crime was committed by the attorney?

#11 Attorney/client privilege?

No Problem.

Hang them both.

#12 Option eleven is fine with me.

#13 #10 Deacon is absolutely correct. Being an attorney is NOT a license to break the law. But I wonder if Snoozy Sessions knows that, or cares.
