Paul Engel, host of The Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Podcast Network, examines the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly threatening President Trump by spelling out '8647' on a beach—interpreted as a coded message to 'get rid of' the 47th president. Engel argues this charge is a thin, politically motivated witch hunt, pointing out that '86' in restaurant lingo means 'don't serve' rather than 'kill,' and that the First Amendment protects such expression. He contrasts this with the indictment of Dr. David Morinz, a former NIAID advisor, for allegedly destroying federal records related to COVID-19 research funding, which Engel sees as a more credible case with potential evidence. Throughout the episode, Engel critiques the erosion of constitutional rights, citing unconstitutional laws like the in-car monitoring mandate, the FACE Act, and the Farm Bill, while warning that when investigations become tools of political retribution rather than justice, the rule of law collapses. He calls for civic responsibility, urging Americans to hold their representatives accountable and to demand better governance rooted in the Constitution.
A prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich—meaning weak cases can be brought forward, especially when politics drives justice.
The '8647' beach incident is likely a misinterpretation of restaurant slang, not a credible threat to the president.
The indictment of Dr. David Morinz over destroyed records related to Wuhan lab research may represent a legitimate case worth pursuing.
The in-car monitoring mandate violates the Tenth Amendment and due process, punishing the innocent rather than the guilty.
The FACE Act is unconstitutional as it restricts peaceful assembly and due process under the First and Fifth Amendments.

The Comey Indictment: A Political Witch Hunt?
“A good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Because that's pretty much what we're seeing here is a ham sandwich.”
The Morinz Indictment: A Case with Substance?
Engel shifts focus to the indictment of Dr. David Morinz, a former senior advisor to Dr. Fauci, for allegedly destroying federal records related to COVID-19 research funding. He acknowledges this case appears more credible, with evidence of document tampering and potential fraud.
The FACE Act and the Weaponization of Law
Engel critiques the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act), calling it unconstitutional for restricting peaceful assembly and due process. He argues it’s been weaponized by the Biden administration to target pro-life advocates, turning legal tools into political weapons.
The EPA and Climate Change: Law vs. Emotion
Engel analyzes a heated exchange between EPA Director Lee Zeldin and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, where Zeldin defends following the Clean Air Act over political pressure to address climate change. Engel frames this as a clash between legal authority and emotional politics.
The Farm Bill: A Pork-Laden Monstrosity
Engel lambasts the Farm Bill as a vehicle for unconstitutional spending, fraud, and corporate favoritism, highlighting provisions like pesticide immunity and SNAP program abuse. He calls for investigations into federal embezzlement and systemic corruption.
“A good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Because that's pretty much what we're seeing here is a ham sandwich.”
“The president is a servant of the states. His primary job is to execute the laws of the United States.”
“Rather than punishing the guilty, Congress wants to once again punish the innocent.”
