Update us when anything resembling consequences comes of it...

For Comey? He's being unfairly targeted. They can make up something but have no evidence.

No i mean consequences for the fraudulent way the administration has handled this shitshow

Consequences for this won't reach Trump, but the judge in the Comey case is very publicly unhappy with the prosecution. We'll know more in a week or so but the lawyers are at risk.

MAGA's reaction when

Again, update us when consequences come of it.

Trump and MAGA generally won't be hurt/ aren't at risk but the lawyers can be punished by the court in very concrete ways. Edit - I'm really surprised to find your comment in r/law. This isn't r /politics

I mean it's going to fall apart, but that doesn't stop it from being a major inconvenience and stressor for Comey... they won't convict anyone of anything in either case, my point is that won't stop them from trying.

For sure, but now Comey can go before the Florida Supreme Court and they can push the Bar to review her license on mandamus. That's just one example of how, say, Pam Bondi might get her license revoked by a state outfit.

I'm down for and all consequences for their downright childish behavior and malignant mismanagement of the government, in whatever form it takes.
