Subject: James Comey-- Be Not Afraid
Dear former Haskell Slaughter colleagues:
For more than two years I have been bugging Alabama lawyers about Trump and the rule of law.
My recent bugging is indicated at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: The condition of the Department of Justice and its FBI.
The James Comey indictment has led me to start a further blog entry at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: James Comey: Be Not Afraid
If you wish that you not be shown in my blog as being a recipient of this email, please let me know and I will delete your email address from the posting on my blog.
Thanks very much.
Rob

I hope the Alabama State Bar will think about that question and perhaps reach a decision to speak publicly against Trump's deployment of Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice against James Comey.

Dear President Roberts:
This is a further email to you about free speech at Auburn and the firing of employees for offensive posts related to Charlie Kirk. ((Two prior emails I sent to you are posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Charlie Kirk and robust dialogue in Alabama.)
The James Comey indictment has prompted me to email Alabama history professors and other parties, asking the question: "Is James Comey America's Alexei Navalny?". My emails are posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: James Comey-- Be Not Afraid.
As Trump's intimidation, if not terrorization, of his political opponents grows, may you be aware of how Auburn may be an enabler of such intimidation and terrorization.
Thank you.
