That contradiction sits at the center of a federal prosecution built around a photograph of seashells reading “86 47,” along with evidence that Trump publicly demanded action against Comey and personally sought investigative notes. When the government calls presidential control over criminal cases a constitutional “feature,” every critic, journalist, protester, and political opponent should understand where this machine could be aimed next. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
