Joe Rogan pans Trump DOJ's Comey indictment as 'nuts'
Joe Rogan criticized the Trump Justice Department's indictment of former FBI Director James Comey over a beach photo spelling '86 47.' Rogan called the charges 'nuts' and suggested they were politically motivated retaliation. He argued that if Comey had committed serious wrongdoing, there should be more substantial evidence than a viral social media post.
- ▪The Justice Department indicted James Comey on two counts in North Carolina, including threatening the President.
- ▪The charges stem from an Instagram post showing seashells arranged to spell '86 47,' which some interpreted as a call to 'get rid of' President Trump.
- ▪Rogan and guest Mark Normand characterized the prosecution as retaliation for Comey's role in the Russiagate investigation.
