A federal grand jury in Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday for making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding during his 2020 testimony about authorizing leaks related to the Russia investigation of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. The charges, which carry up to 10 years in prison if convicted, stem from newly declassified documents contradicting Comey’s sworn denial of directing FBI colleagues to share sensitive information.

James Comey wasn’t indicted because Trump weaponized the FBI. Comey was indicted because he weaponized the FBI and got caught.

The ethics and integrity of public officials must be unimpeachable. So when they engage in criminal activity or worse, sedition, the punishment should be more severe that John Q. Public.

The Democrats their are elected or public officials are above the law and it exempts them from punishment. Reality is coming. Hard, I hope.

Unlike the bogus prosecutions of Trump and his officials, there are no gag orders were imposed, or homes raided, and or an army of heavily armed FBI agents swarming their homes of innocent Americans at 6 in the morning to arrest them.

By: CNN, September 26, 2025: Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by a federal grand jury, an extraordinary escalation in President Donald Trump’s effort to prosecute his political enemies.

Comey, a longtime adversary of the president, is now the first senior government official to face federal charges in one of Trump’s largest grievances: the 2016 investigation into whether his first presidential campaign colluded with Russia.

“JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Comey has been charged with giving false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, and he could face up to five years in prison if convicted.

Both charges are connected to his September 30, 2020, testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. A source told CNN’s Jake Tapper that the indictment for lying to Congress is related to the FBI’s “Arctic haze” leak investigation, related to classified information that ended up in four different newspaper articles.

Appearing by Zoom, Comey testified that “he had not authorized someone else to be an anonymous source in news reports,” the indictment said. “That statement was false.”

Comey responded to the indictment in an Instagram video, saying, “Let’s have a trial. And keep the faith.”

“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I’m innocent,” he added.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X, “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,” Bondi wrote. “We will follow the facts in this case.”
