Former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor thinks he's probably next on the list of people to get the James Comey treatment from President Donald Trump.

Trump demanded that the Justice Department act on the former FBI director with a prosecution. On Wednesday, Comey was arraigned in court, and Taylor was in court to watch.

"I showed up because I agree or disagree with James Comey's decisions over the years, to me, this is so obviously a case of selective and vindictive prosecution, and sets an extraordinary precedent. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't say I think that precedent probably affects my fate as well. I'm on the president's enemies list. I think that there's a coin flip chance he tries to put me in the same shoes as James Comey, charge me with something that's obscure," Taylor surmised.

He went on to assert Comey's rights are being violated — and that would apply to anyone in that situation.

"I think it was important for people to go up there, including former Trump officials like myself, to be there at the courthouse and to point out that this is, again, a vindictive prosecution," Taylor added.
