Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to allegations of lying to Congress five years ago, initiating a legal battle that is expected to involve motions to dismiss the indictment. The indictment followed public pressure from President Trump on Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against Comey, as well as the appointment of a new prosecutor to file charges. The two-count indictment accuses Comey of making a false statement and obstructing a congressional proceeding, though the evidence and specific information discussed with the media are unclear. The case has brought attention to the Justice Department’s targeting of Trump’s adversaries and its impact on the long-broken relationship between Trump and Comey.

The FBI is reportedly planning a “showy” arrest and perp walk of former Director James Comey, who was recently indicted on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. An agent who refused to participate in the arrest plan, which involved heavily armed agents, was suspended for insubordination. The FBI is actively seeking a team to execute the arrest before Comey’s arraignment, despite resistance from some supervisors. This controversial tactic, which has drawn criticism for undermining the presumption of innocence, represents an escalation in the long-standing feud between Comey and former President Trump.

Lindsey Halligan’s debut as a federal prosecutor has been met with public scrutiny due to several apparent errors in the indictment of James Comey. These errors, including clerical mistakes and grammatical errors, have sparked concerns about Halligan’s preparedness, as she has limited prosecutorial experience and was previously a private attorney for Donald Trump. The missteps could potentially weaken the government’s case, delay proceedings, and reinforce criticisms that the politically charged indictment is motivated by pressure rather than law. The outcome of this case could significantly influence public trust in the Department of Justice’s impartiality and competence.

The whole situation surrounding this FBI agent, relieved of duty for refusing to stage a “perp walk” of James Comey, is, to put it mildly, troubling. We’re talking about an individual, someone sworn to uphold the law and presumably dedicated to the principles of justice, who essentially lost their job for showing a backbone. It’s a clear signal that something is deeply wrong when an agent is penalized for, in essence, upholding what’s right.
The crux of the matter, according to reports, is this refusal to orchestrate a public display of Comey’s arrest. A “perp walk,” for those unfamiliar, is the practice of parading a suspect in front of cameras, often with the intention of creating a spectacle and generating negative publicity.… Continue reading
Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb criticized the indictment of James Comey, stating that re-electing Trump would be a significant mistake. Cobb believes the indictment is retribution for Comey investigating Trump’s alleged ties to Russia and an attempt to rewrite history, particularly concerning the events surrounding the 2016 election and the January 6th insurrection. Cobb noted that the indictment, which stems from Comey’s alleged perjury in a 2020 Senate hearing, is likely dead in the water due to Trump’s public interference and meddling. Cobb, who served in the White House during the Russiagate investigation, has become an outspoken critic of the former president.
