It's hard to understand how someone like James Comey could be indicted for posting a picture of seashells on a beach. But, just when it seems like we arrived at the full-on DOJ "low-tide", Todd Blanche and J.D. Vance roll out the new "weaponization fund". Will it ever be safe to go back in the water?

In this episode of set for sentencing, Mark Allenbaugh and I tackle a number of subjects, with the Comey case being the centerpiece. There's something for everyone in this one, including:

IN THIS EPISODE:

• 8:00 --- Pending supreme court cases that could have significant consequences on federal sentencing;
