James Comey is back in Trump's crosshairs. This time, it's different.

James Comey, who is under investigation for an Instagram post about Trump, said he believes the judiciary will protect him from a dubious prosecution.

James Comey, the polarizing former FBI director, walked into a Barnes & Noble in New York City, sat down on a three-legged stool and began to extol the virtues of his new crime novel to the few dozen people who came to his book signing Monday night. 

Days earlier, he sparked a firestorm on the right — and a Secret Service investigation — when he posted a photo on Instagram that Donald Trump and senior administration officials insist was a call for the assassination of the president.  

Now Comey, as talkative and confident as ever, was brushing aside the chance that he might face criminal charges. 

“They were total pros,” Comey said of the Secret Service agents who interviewed him, adding of the brouhaha: “Maybe it’ll go away.”   

But while he was signing books, Trump’s former defense lawyer Alina Habba, now the acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey, announced that she has filed criminal charges against Rep. Lamonica McIver, D-N.J., for her actions during a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark.
