![President Trump’s decision to unlawfully manipulate the prosecutorial process for the
express purpose of bringing a charge against Mr. Comey proves that his animus was the but-for
cause of this prosecution. Where the “government ha[s] followed unusual discretionary
procedures in deciding to prosecute,” those aberrant procedures provide strong evidence that the
prosecution was brought for an improper reason. United States v. Greene, 697 F.2d 1229, 1236
(5th Cir. 1983); see United States v. Steele, 461 F.2d 1148, 1151-52 (9th Cir. 1972); United
States v. Falk, 479 F.2d 616, 621 (7th Cir. 1973). In Steele, for instance, the defendants were
individuals who had “publiciz[ed] a dissident view of the census as an unconstitutional invasion
of privacy” and were prosecuted for refusing to return their census forms. 461 F.2d at 1150-51.
The court observed that, before the prosecution, a U.S. Census official had “ordered his staff to
compile special background dossiers on [the defendants], a discretionary procedure not followed
with any other offenders.” Id. at 1151. The court concluded that an “enforcement procedure that
focuses upon the vocal offender is inherently suspect, since it is vulnerable to the charge that
those chosen for prosecution are being punished for their expression of ideas, a constitutionally
protected right.” Id. at 1152. Here, President Trump’s “enforcement procedure”—the eleventhhour appointment of a political ally for the express purpose of prosecuting a longtime critic,
accompanied by a social media post pushing the DOJ to indict—is decisive evidence that the
government would not have prosecuted Mr. Comey but for his “expression of ideas” that
President Trump disliked.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreiepcns67a7aupcga76kup2rfrtwmhytjcjmreozvxeuzj2lpjxqra@jpeg)

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
