Bill Maher Is Tracking the 'Rise of Autocracy' With James Comey Indictment: 'Didn't Even Know He Had a Talk Show'

Bill Maher has had varied views on President Donald Trump over the last several months, but on Friday's "Real Time" he acknowledged that with the indictment of former FBI director James Comey, the country was "past the muzzling dissident phase" and into the "prosecuting political enemy space" during America's rise to autocracy. "James Comey, our former FBI director, was indicted today by the Trump administration," Maher began. "I didn't even know he had a talk show." "Trump is in his we caught you with your tail light out phase of justice," the HBO host continued. . . .
