Comey, जो Donald Trump के राजनीतिक शत्रुओं में से एक हैं, उन पर दो felonies के आरोप लगाए गए हैं। साथ ही, Disneyland ने facial recognition शुरू किया है।
सुप्रभात। न्याय विभाग ने मंगलवार को पूर्व FBI निदेशक James Comey के खिलाफ नए आपराधिक मामले दर्ज किए।
उन पर क्या आरोप लगाए गए हैं? दो felonies: राष्ट्रपति के खिलाफ धमकी देना, और सोशल मीडिया के माध्यम से उस धमकी को राज्य की सीमाओं के पार प्रसारित करना।
Indictment क्या कहता है? कि seashells की संख्या कुछ ऐसी थी जिसे एक तर्कसंगत व्यक्ति “संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति को नुकसान पहुँचाने के इरादे की एक गंभीर अभिव्यक्ति के रूप में व्याख्यायित करेगा”।
और Comey का क्या कहना है? उन्होंने अपना एक वीडियो प्रकाशित किया जिसमें उन्होंने कहा: “खैर, वे वापस आ गए हैं। इस बार, एक साल पहले North Carolina के एक समुद्र तट पर seashells की तस्वीर को लेकर। और यह यहीं खत्म नहीं होगा, लेकिन मेरे लिए कुछ भी नहीं बदला है। मैं अब भी निर्दोष हूँ। मैं अब भी डरा हुआ नहीं हूँ। और मुझे अब भी स्वतंत्र संघीय न्यायपालिका में विश्वास है। तो, चलिए शुरू करते हैं।” उन्होंने आगे कहा: “यह हम सभी के लिए याद रखना बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है - एक देश के रूप में हम ऐसे नहीं हैं, Department of Justice को ऐसा नहीं होना चाहिए, और अच्छी खबर यह है कि हम हर दिन उन मूल्यों को बहाल करने के करीब पहुँच रहे हैं। विश्वास बनाए रखें।”
