The American people aren't waking up every morning worried about the political prosecution of James Comey. Instead, they are worried about affording groceries and their electric bills.

While Comey’s prosecution matters in terms of the big picture, Trump’s abuse of power to seek revenge on his imagined political enemies, the courts are likely to quickly dispose of this flimsy case.
