The indictment of one James Comey has triggered among the legacy media and other Acela elites a case of Biden Amnesia wherein they forget the targeted prosecutions of then-former President Donald Trump. And in this case, CNN’s Scott Jennings also catches them in a blaring contradiction.
Watch the exchange, during the panel discussion on CNN State of the Union:
WATCH: @ScottJenningsKY flips the directed prosecution argument back on Democrats:

SCOTT JENNINGS: I'm stunned to hear you say we're now worried about normalizing this kind of thing. We had an attorney...
KATE BEDINGFIELD: Which you are about to do right now. Let's hear it.
JENNINGS: No, I'm about to tell you what happened in the state of New York, when the Democratic attorney general ran an entire political campaign promising, promising not to uphold justice, but to prosecute one person, Donald Trump. And I didn't hear a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth among Democrats about normalizing the weaponization of justice. That chart you put up there, my question is: do they deserve it? If they didn't do anything wrong, I'm not certain anything bad's going to happen to them. Bolton, that started under Joe Biden. James -- I mean, these people that you put on the screen, they may have something that needs to be looked at. But don't you have trust in the processes, grand juries? This is how the system works. And I don't have any -- and Jim Comey, he's going to go to trial.
BAKARI SELLERS: But I think it's the abuse of...
JENNINGS: He's going to get a day in court in front of the jury of his peers.
SELLERS: It's the abuse of the jury of the system. And what we're talking about is the abuse of the system and making people...
JENNINGS: What abuse? What abuse beyond the idea of prosecuting people? When Democrats were going after Trump, were you worried about abuse?
SELLERS: Because- because I firmly believe that Donald Trump broke the law and he was indicted.
JENNINGS: Do you think the 34 charges that are cited all the time were good charges?
SELLERS: But let me just say this. I mean, you just sat here and talked about the process. You gave me a lecture about the grand jury system. Well, Donald Trump actually went to trial and got convicted.
BEDINGFIELD: Correct
SELLERS: That is the process he went through. And let me just explain to you the difference in the abuse and the difference in Departments of Justice. I mean, we can go all the way back to Republicans having a fit when JFK tried to nominate RFK, his brother, to be attorney general. But I can actually go back to Joe Biden. Joe Biden indicted his own son. Did he deserve to be indicted? Yes. But he indicted his own son.
JENNINGS: You're saying -- wait. You're saying that- that White House was directing indictments? You're saying they were directing indictments? That's a revelation.
Much of the media’s discussion of the Comey indictment is focused on pretending that is a unique watershed moment in American history. In order to do so, it must ignore the state and federal prosecutions of Trump.
Jennings is absolutely right in that there was zero gnashing of teeth as these indictments came down. To the contrary, we were festooned with “law and order” editorials and “accountability” commentary. We were bombarded with a conga line of Democrat prosecutors and former officials, joining their hosts and anchors in waxing pious about the sacred duty to preserve the sanctity of our institutions- even as they were made a mockery by weaponized prosecutions.
And then, former South Carolina representative and CNN commentator Bakari Sellers gives the game away by saying that Joe Biden directed the prosecution of his son Hunter, an admission that Jennings immediately noticed. The record reflects that this prosecution was reluctant, after the collapse of a sweetheart deal for the younger Biden, and only after the Biden Department of Justice slow-walked the IRS’s criminal investigation allowing the most severe FARA charges to expire under the statute of limitations. This record would be common knowledge had the Biden Regime Media honestly covered the IRS whistleblowers instead of suppressing the story.
So in lieu of honest debate on the Comey indictment, the public is left with a lot of cope, seethe, and gaslighting by the same media that hailed the Trump prosecutions.
