It Begins With One

On Thursday, Breitbart posted an article about the indictment of James Comey. The former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director is indicted on two counts–one for making false statements and one for obstructing justice. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to celebrate this. This is the equivalent of charging Al Capone with tax evasion. There is also the possibility, considering the political climate where he is being charged, that he will walk away scot free.

The article reports:

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice.

The charges were brought after the Trump administration replaced the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, with White House aide Lindsey Halligan, who sought an immediate indictment from the grand jury before the statute of limitations could expire next Tuesday.

Without mentioning Comey by name, Attorney General Pam Bondi declared in a post on X that the indictment serves to prove “no one is above the law.”

“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,” she said.

The article concludes:

“Comey’s deputy, Andrew McCabe, has said that Comey authorized him to leak information to the press, according to a 2018 Justice Department inspector general’s report. But the report also found that McCabe made multiple false or misleading statements,” it added.

In July, the FBI launched an investigation into former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey over their roles in the investigation surrounding President Donald Trump and Russia’s alleged collusion.

Although he played a major part in the politicization of the FBI, I believe that he acted in perfect harmony with the Department of Justice and the deep state. He was simply a pawn in a very illegal game.
