FCC Demands Eight ABC Stations Re-Apply for Certification Early, Citing the Stations' Brazen Racial Discrimination Based on Illegal "DEI" Criteria
Plus: Comey May Be Forced to Give Up Profits on His Stupid Book?

Bad news for the Disney Groomer Network.

Tim O'Brien:

[T]he Federal Communications Commission (FCC)... announced on April 28 that it is moving up its review of the ABC network's eight local broadcasting licenses over the network's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.

On March 27, 2025, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr initially sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger notifying him that the FCC was investigating the company (Disney and ABC) to determine if it was in violation of the FCC's own equal employment opportunity regulations. Common sense will tell you that when you replace "equal" with "equity" you will have problems, and that's what they're looking at.

Keep in mind that this was months before the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September and the Jimmy Kimmel drama that followed.

Now, just recently, David J. Brown, the chief of the video division at the Federal Communications Commission's media bureau, sent a notification memo to The Walt Disney Company that said: "Specifically, FCC rules provide that whenever the FCC regards an application for a renewal of a license as essential to the proper conduct of an investigation, the FCC has the authority to call the broadcaster's licenses in for early renewal. Doing so both allows the FCC to conduct its ongoing investigation and enables the FCC to ensure that the broadcaster has been meeting its public interest obligations more broadly...The FCC determines that calling in Disney's ABC licenses for early renewal, at this time, under the Communications Act's public interest standard is essential within the meaning of agency regulations."

The ABC stations in question were on the schedule for license renewal in the 2028-2031 window. The FCC's decision now requires the ABC stations to file for renewal by May 28 of this year.

It's important to understand that the Federal Communications Commission doesn't regulate networks directly; their content is carried by third-party local broadcasters that use the public airwaves, which the FCC does regulate. American Broadcasting Company owns eight local television stations that are within the FCC's jurisdiction: WABC-TV New York, KABC-TV Los Angeles, WLS-TV Chicago, WPVI-TV Philadelphia, KTRK-TV Houston, KGO-TV San Francisco, WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham, and KFSN-TV Fresno.

Those are among ABC's biggest stations. Only two -- Raleigh-Durham and Fresno -- are second-tier.

On to James Comey.

James Comey posted his "8647" threat to boost sales of his piece-of-shit homo book.

But that means he profited from a crime, and may be forced to disgorge those profits.

Though, to be honest, I can't imagine she made much money off this "book."

BREAKING: DOJ sources tell me prosecutors are pursuing a "forfeiture action" in relation to James Comey's alleged felonies because they believe Comey posted the "86" Trump threat to also help drum up sales of a forthcoming book. Comey posted the image five (5) days before the May 20, 2025, release of his new crime novel. Controversy over the posting thrust Comey back into the headlines and drew potential book buyers to his Instagram and X accounts where he heavily promoted the book.

According to the Comey indictment, "Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense."

Viva Frei explains that the case against Comey isn't just about the "8647" tweet-- he posted a series of tweets to promote his gay book, which spoke of... encouraging people to kill political enemies.

Too many people are either ignorant of the facts, or being obtuse as relates to Comey's "8647" (in shells!) Instagram post.

It was not a simple "one-off" post. Faulty premise and factually incorrect.

So everyone comparing it to Jack Posobiec's 2022 tweet of "8646" is not comparing comparables.

Also, not an irrelevant factor - Jack is not the former Director of the FBI!

Posobiec's tweet was stupid. And I would expect to be investigated and possibly charged if I were to ever post anything so stupid.

That says, now back to it not being a "one-off" possibly ambiguous tweet:

People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey's Instagram post. It was not a "one-off". It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so.

Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached).

Post 2: 8647 in shells.

Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary:

"Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested "something should be done" about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes."

Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing.

Reading his book.

Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) - 47 for Trump.

Suggesting "something should be done about them" - 86 for kill or eliminate.

And "his fans have obliged" from his book description that he posted.

All of the elements are there to eliminate any ambiguity as to what common meant - sandwiching his 8647 in shells in between a picture of him reading his book, and a summary of his book - which has to do with calling out enemies by name, suggesting something should be done to them, and his fans obliging.

He quibbles about whether the indictment should contain all of this evidence. I don't think it does. An indictment is not a presentation of evidence. That's what a trial is. An indictment is just a listing of charges that a grand jury has said there is evidence enough to support a conviction thereupon.

Oh, and Andrew McCarthy is defending his butt-buddy Comey from prosecution, as usual, even after he defended Comey's prosecutions of Trump and the J6 defendants.
