Days after The Fascist Felon publicly said that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and two other political adversaries, a federal grand jury indicted James Comey on two counts: making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. Comey has denied any wrongdoing.
The charges stem from testimony Comey gave on Sept. 30, 2020, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Asked by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, about testimony he gave in 2017 asserting that he did not authorize leaking information regarding the FBI’s investigations into President Donald Trump or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Comey said, “I stand by the testimony.”
Comey’s deputy, Andrew McCabe, has said that Comey authorized him to leak information to the press, according to a 2018 Justice Department inspector general’s report. But the report also found that McCabe made multiple false or misleading statements.
The statute of limitations for the charges was set to expire Tuesday. Comey could face a maximum of five years in prison if convicted.
Mr. Comey has denied any wrong doing:
“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either.
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I’m innocent. So let’s have a trial, and keep the faith.”
Just after the Trump DOJ announced an indictment against James Comey, the former FBI director posted a video on Instagram professing his innocence. “I’m not afraid,” says Comey.
