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.


Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Thursday, per a Public Telegram Board, that NATO and the European Union are waging war against Russia "using Ukraine as a proxy" and are "directly participating" in the conflict.

Lavrov's comments follow repeated Kremlin claims that Western military and financial support for Ukraine amounts to direct hostility toward Russia.

.. and Completely Missing The Point Of Romans 1


Comments

"According to Justice Department guidelines, prosecutors are generally barred from bringing charges unless they can prove a defendant will "more likely than not be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by an unbiased trier of fact and that the conviction will be upheld on appeal."

Despite their recommendations, Halligan -- who has never prosecuted a criminal case in her career as an insurance lawyer -- plans to present evidence to a grand jury before the statute of limitations for the alleged offense expires next week, the sources said.

Comey's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Halligan's apparent plan to seek charges against Comey follows a clear directive from Trump, who over the weekend directly called for prosecutions against Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

"Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam Shifty' Schiff, and Leticia???" Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday evening, directly addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi. "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!!!"

And "insurance lawyer"... this reminds me of when Trump's DOJ threatened quit en masse when he wanted them to sign The Letter to states telling them they could change the Election results.

He had found some other stooge lawyer to put in charge of the DOJ, but the whole team threatened to quit if he did.

Trumpers must be SO proud!
