IT’S OFFICIAL: James Comey Now Faces Two Federal Indictments
Something something about falling into the trap you set for someone else...?
Feds managed to squeak in JUST before the statute of limitations for the relevant actions elapsed, and it DIRECTLY involves his testimony about his involvement in the FBI’s ‘Russian Collusion’ conspiracy against Trump.
Oh, the irony.
Two indictments have been handed down concerning the testimony he gave before Congress.
Kash Patel tweeted this:
Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability. For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust. Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on.
Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.
Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account – no matter their perch.
No one is above the law.
Pam Bondi said something similar:
No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.
As did Dan Bongino.
When Director Patel and I took on our leadership positions in the FBI we promised the American people accountability. Promises matter.
Here’s the early reporting on what the charges themselves look like. Once ABC finished trying to anchor this story in the context of Donald J Trump, rather than letting the charges of false statements and obtruction speak for themselves, they eventually got around to describing the allegations for which he’s been indicted:
The investigation in the Eastern District of Virginia — which is being carried out concurrently in the Western District of Virginia and Eastern District of Pennsylvania — directly stemmed from FBI Director Kash Patel’s discovery of sensitive documents at the FBI headquarters related to the Russia probe, sources said.
They said the documents prompted investigators to examine whether Comey’s testimony to Congress in September 2020, regarding Russian interference, could support charges of perjury or obstruction.
Prosecutors specifically examined Comey’s testimony about Hillary Clinton’s alleged involvement linking Trump to Russia and whether Comey authorized leaks of anonymous information to the media. — ABC
