Trump And DOJ Indicts James Comey On "Trumped Up" Charges!

This is what you get when you don't hold Donald J. Trump accountable. He uses his minions to come after you.

So the former FBI director's 8647 post on Instagram must have irked the dottering president. His cognitive decline is happening in real time. He cannot cover it up with his makeup.

I bet James Comey wished he didn't investigate that server from former secretary of state Hillary Clinton in October 2016. We would have the first female president.

I bet Joe Biden wished he had listened to his voters when they were saying we were giving too much to Israel. We were not sticking to a strong message. We were allowing Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman dictate the party. We were warning Biden that his age was an issue. We warned Biden that he should have thrown the book at Donald J. Trump.

Oh the 45th/47th President of the United States is the very definition of white privilege, status quo politics and America's decline. The world is noticing.

President Donald J. Trump vowed he would go after his enemies. He said it at that white nationalist Charlie Kirk’s funeral. He says this when Jimmy Kimmel was reinstated. He continues his revenge tour on Rosie O'Donnell, George Stephanopoulos, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Robert Mueller, John Bolton, Chris Christie, Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Stephen Colbert, Joy Reid, Neil Cavuto, Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen, Michael Avanetti, Colin Kaepernick, Seth Meyers, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Christopher Wray, Barack Obama, Hunter Biden, John Brennan, Susan Rice, Alexander Vindman, Eugene Vindman, Karen McDougal, E. Jean Carroll, Joy Baher, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mary Trump.

Comey who was fired by Trump in early 2017 became a fierce critic. 

Today, he was indicted on two criminal charges of mishandling classified information and lying to federal authorities.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Republicans long sought having Comey arrested for crimes they concocted in their heads. 

The Justice Department has charged former FBI Director James Comey with lying to Congress, two DOJ officials and a person familiar with the matter told NBC News Wednesday.

“There are still internal matters being sorted out,” one of the officials said.

A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on any matters relating to Comey.

The internal debate comes just days after President Donald Trump posted on social media that Attorney General Pam Bondi should take action against Comey and two of the president's other political foes: Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

"We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!" he said in the Truth Social post on Saturday.

He told reporters later that day: “If they’re not guilty, that’s fine. If they are guilty, or if they should be judged, they should be judged. And we have to do it now.”

Any charges against Comey could come from the Eastern District of Virginia, where deliberations over how to handle the Comey case are active, the second Justice Department official told NBC News.

The charge in question would involve testimony Comey delivered to Congress on Sept. 30, 2020, in response to a question from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, about the authorization of an information leak. Comey was asked whether he stood by earlier testimony from 2017 denying that he'd authorized the leak, and he responded, "I stand by the testimony."

Had he held Trump accountable for his collusion with Russian operatives, he wouldn't be in this mess. Trump's DOJ throws some bullshit charges on James Comey.

If the Justice Department decides to charge Comey, it could happen in the coming days. A five-year statute of limitations is set to expire early next week.

A representative for Comey declined to comment Wednesday.

Trump's call for action from the DOJ came a day after he forced out Erik S. Siebert as acting U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Senior Justice Department sources recently said that Siebert had decided to resign rather than seek an indictment of Comey due to the lack of evidence in the case.

Trump later posted on X that he had fired Siebert, rather than him resigning. He was replaced Monday by Lindsey Halligan, one of Trump's former personal lawyers.

The Justice Department acknowledged in July that it was investigating Comey, but did not release any information about the probe.

Trump has long been critical of Comey, who started an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible ties to the Trump campaign. Trump fired Comey in May 2017, a move that led to former FBI Director Robert Mueller being named special counsel of the Russia investigation.

Mueller's probe spanned almost two years and led to 34 people and three companies being criminally charged. His report found that the Russian government “interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion,” but said investigators did not establish that Trump or his team “conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” despite numerous contacts.

Trump has long derided the investigation as a "witch hunt" and a "hoax."

Siebert had also been investigating mortgage fraud allegations against James, whose office successfully sued Trump and his company for fraud.

Two senior law enforcement officials told NBC News last week that the investigation stalled over concerns from federal agents and prosecutors who felt they lacked the evidence to obtain a conviction if the case were to go to trial.

James has denied any wrongdoing.
