Brief Comey Indictment Prompts Questions and Criticism.

[0311]

The two-page indictment of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, offered little indication of the evidence that would be presented at a trial. Some legal experts called it flimsy and dangerous. The indictment of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, was just two pages long and contained so little detail that it was hard for legal experts to assess its merits.

Some former government lawyers, as well as prominent Democrats, said the case appeared so flimsy that it was likely to fail. Some Republicans also expressed concerns, though supporters of President Trump, who had relentlessly pushed for Mr. Comey’s prosecution, praised the fact that Mr. Comey was indicted.

A federal grand jury indicted Mr. Comey on Thursday on one count of making a false statement and one count of obstruction of a congressiciousnal proceeding in connection with his testimony to a Senate committee in September 2020. The brief indictment was signed by Lindsey Halligan, a former defense lawyer for Mr. Trump whom he had appointed just days earlier as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia — and whose first courtroom experience came when she presented the case, alone, in court on Thursday.

Halligan never prosecuted a case in her life, she is by trade an insurance lawyer Comey never the source of any leak, McCabe already owned up that. This political malicious prosecution by president who is weaponizing the DOJ to go after his perceived enemies.

It's great that Ms. Halligan's first case is going to be putting the most corrupt FBI director in history in prison.

He has to go through "the process" and unless he pleads out early it can milked for months.

Giving Comey 5 years in the can would be justice for the American people.

Thread 'Comey Indicted'

Sep 25, 2025

A new federal prosecutor handpicked by President Trump is reportedly moving quickly to secure an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress. Comey lied to Congress on Sept. 30, 2020 — the day he denied, under oath, that he was involved in leaking information from the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation. The five-year statute of limitations on...

The weeping of the NYT for James Comey warms my heart.

 

[whitehall]

Upside down thinking? First of all the NYT is hardly an impartial judge in this case. As a matter of fact the Comey indictments are a hell of a lot more solid than the crap democrats threw at Trump

Just give him a fair trial.

 

[DonGlock26]

Watch for a clip of Comey wanting Trump prosecuted.

 

[excalibur]

My feelings exactly.

 

[wamose]

Comey is bad for freedom and accountability. The fact that he belongs in jail but stands a good chance of walking, illustrates how badly the deep state has damaged our government. People have no faith in our justice system because people like Comey, Brennen, Clapper, Strzok, McCabe, Clinton, Obama etc. are never held accountable. This can't go on forever.

So the question here is did Comey lie to Congress regarding the authorization of a leak to the press

Turns out the question Comey was answering was convoluted and confusing

There will be no conviction

It’s just stupid

 

[Oddball]

Here' a question: why was this indictment -already in the can for quite some time- slow walked/obstructed, and who is going to be held to account for that?

/----/ Comey was trained by the agency to be interrogated intensely and how to give convoluted and confusing responses. I believe his arrogance il lbe his undoing.

The only problem with the Comey indictment is that a Republican is attempting to hold an anarchist responsible for his bad actions

An indictment doesn’t have to provide any evidence. It’s simply a charging document, met to give notice to the accused of the crime.

Doesn’t have to be long, frankly two pages, for two indictments is plenty

/----/ Yeah, a RINO.
