Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges of making a false statement and obstruction related to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020, just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act "now" to bring prosecutions against Comey and other political foes.

A statement released by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said that if convicted, Comey faces up to five years in prison. "Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties," the statement said.

"Earlier this week, federal prosecutors in Virginia informed Halligan that they could not establish probable cause to charge Comey, ABC News first reported.

Despite the lack of clear evidence and ethical concerns about bringing a case without clear probable cause, Halligan sought an indictment from the grand jury, sources said.

The charges against Comey are the most dramatic escalation yet in what critics have described as a campaign of retribution by Trump to use the powers of the federal government to enact revenge against those he believes have wronged him."

Welcome to 1930's Germany, ya'll!

"AI Overview
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime systematically targeted, persecuted, and murdered enemies through a combination of extralegal terror, rigged laws, and control of the judiciary. Their first victims were political opponents, followed by social and racial groups deemed undesirable.

Following Hitler's appointment as chancellor in 1933, the Nazis moved swiftly to eliminate all opposing political parties and leaders."

Well, if this doesn't take the public's attention offa Epstein's Wingman, then we may have to go to WW III against Venezuela, Panama, and Canada!

It's only lawfare if it's against Dear Leader; even when it's crimes that they themselves would be prosecuted for if they lied on bank loan forms, finger-raped someone, or tried to overthrow the government.

I don't remember Biden having to fire his own appointees because they wouldn't bring a case due to lack of evidence.

Maybe you could remind us when that happened?

It's a good thing Lindsey Halligan is attractive, because once she loses her bar license for malicious prosecution she can get an OnlyFascists page, shave it in a Hitler Mustache, and do sex acts on camera for the enjoyment of the MAGAts.

No, dumbf^%*, you remember us laughing at idiots like you for applying the term to legitimate criminal investigations and convictions.

Now, as expected, you d^*+less sycophants cheer actual lawfare and weaponization of the DoJ under childish "but they did it toooo" bulls^*%.

In other words, you're a stupid f*+^ who should sit down and STFU.

I remember Biden appointees who smeared Matt Gaetz publicly called him a pedo, but when it was time to prosecute him they didn't have any evidence.

I remember when New York prosecuted a former President for borrowing money against his own property after he paid it all back

I remember when Trump had to stand in a civil trial accused of sexual assault where the statute of limitations had to be changed just to have the trial. And his accuser couldn't even remember when it happened.

And how about that search warrant for Trump's house? remember when you thought that was cute?

Don't be like that fucking moron who posted #19

#20 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-09-26 02:53 PM

If Comey is sentenced to Fed Pen he will serve his time in solitary confinement. Can you imagine showing up and seeing the very faces that you sent there?

#15 | Posted by Sycophant

Why, why does it matter? Why does it make your argument any stronger? Just because someone says there's no evidence, and another person finds more.

I mean isn't that the whole "Epstein schtick", that they found more evidence??

#22 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-09-26 03:01 PM

"I remember when New York prosecuted a former President for borrowing money against his own property after he paid it all back"

At a lower rate than he would've, had he told the truth.

He defrauded every investor in that bank. You're carrying water for a crook.

Trump is a pretty powerful force.

He can get some here to sympathize with the owners of banks.

LOL

Imagine had any of Trump's minions here had done what he did on a bank loan application or anything else in #8.... they would still be in prison.

All of a sudden he finds sympathy for Big Banking

I don't know how anybody can get away with over valuing assets with no oversight.

appraisals, inspections, reviews reviews loan committees, etc..all the underwriting that goes into commercial loans.

Somehow Trump just makes up shit on an application and POOF! it works?

obviously not...there is much more to it.

#27 | Posted by eberly at 2025-09-26 03:16 PM

"He can get some here to sympathize with the owners of banks."

What a riot.

Even Eberly is carrying water, this time for folks he'd crucify if they defrauded his insurance company.

In the Trump case of the felonies they really had to stretch the laws to make the case, they certainly wouldn't do that for your or I.

But you do need an education, the laws are being used by both sides against the other, Biden administration started this. Now you're complaining it's being used against your team. Cope harder. The NEW rule is keep your nose clean or the other team will get you.
The issue is there are so many laws everyone breaks them, tyranny will ensue.

Trump minions, you and I could lie on our loan application, because no one cares.

#29 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-09-26 03:19 PM

-Even Eberly is carrying water,

I don't have the energy to do that.

#30 | Posted by eberly at 2025-09-26 03:21 PM

I don't think was an application, it was falsifying financial statements. Like investing in anything banks had to do their own due diligence.
These weren't normal loans like you or I get.

The statements even included disclaimers stating that the documents were unaudited and that banks should perform their own due diligence.

#31 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-09-26 03:23 PM

"I don't know how anybody can get away with over valuing assets with no oversight."

Clearly, the bank Trump was dealing with was comfortable dealing with crooks and laundering money.

Didn't they loan him more AFTER he'd sued them?

#32 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-09-26 03:24 PM

"The statements even included disclaimers stating that the documents were unaudited and that banks should perform their own due diligence."

Which has the same effect as adding it to your tax return: zero.

IOW, that "disclaimer" is made moot by the "signing under penalty of perjury" clause.

#33 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-09-26 03:29 PM

-I don't think was an application, it was falsifying financial statements

That's just another way to say he lied during the application process.

#34 | Posted by eberly at 2025-09-26 03:33 PM

"I don't have the energy to do that."

So did Trump defraud the bank's investors or not?

#35 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-09-26 03:36 PM

No question he did.

#36 | Posted by eberly at 2025-09-26 03:42 PM

"No question he did."

So does that make you a fan of banks?

#37 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-09-26 03:44 PM

- both sides

"Idiot" in Chinese is, "baichi".

- That's just another way to say he lied during the application process.

Exactly. And he cherry-picked even that out of the examples of. 'finger-raping' and overthrowing the Gov.

INut isn't a serious person, he's an attention troll who's only here because he 'thinks' he's rattling cages, which he's never yet quite accomplished.
