On Thursday, Breitbart<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The charges were brought after the Trump administration replaced the U.S. attorney for the\u00a0Eastern 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without mentioning Comey by name, Attorney General Pam Bondi declared in a post on X that the indictment serves to prove \u201cno one is above the law.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is above the law. Today\u2019s indictment reflects this Department of Justice\u2019s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cComey\u2019s deputy, Andrew McCabe, has said that Comey authorized him to leak information to the press, according to a\u00a02018 Justice Department inspector general\u2019s report<\/a>. But the report also found that McCabe made multiple false or misleading statements,\u201d it added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July, the FBI launched<\/a>\u00a0an 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\u2019s alleged collusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
