Matt Taibbi on Jim Comey: “Think of the National Security Implications of Implying that Your Own President is a Spy for a Foreign Country!… You Cannot Let That Go On”

Investigative journalist Matt Taibbi joined Jesse Watters on Friday night to discuss the James Comey indictments.

Taibbi blasted Comey for leaking false documents to the leftist press accusing President Trump of being a Russian spy. This was something Comey KNEW was factually incorrect and yet he took these actions to take down a sitting US President.

The criminal charges against Comey are much more serious than what the media is reporting!

In a previous time in American history Comey would be hung for treason.

Matt Taibbi: “People have to remember what is the substance of these lies? What were they for? These news stories that were put out there that were leaked to the press, the thrust of them was that Donald Trump was under the throes of a foreign government. He was a Russian agent.

Think of the national security implications of implying that your own president is a spy for a foreign country.

Would that be tolerated in any normal country?

You cannot let that go on. You can’t have an FBI director doing these kinds of things and engaging these sorts of manipulations and lying to Congress about it and getting away with it.”

Jesse Watters: Yeah, he basically framed him as a traitor. What’s the punishment for treason? We all know what that is. I mean, this is the worst thing you can possibly do…

Matt Taibbi: One thing I think we’ve learned during the Russiagate period is that James Comey has a peculiar vanity that I think is often his undoing.

He often thinks that he’s being clever when he’s not. He often thinks that he’s showing tremendous rectitude when he’s actually looking like a phony on television.

The more exposure that he gets for himself, I think actually the more it will redound to Trump’s benefit.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s good if he’s on television more during this period.

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP: One of Comey’s “Criminal” Leaks Was to His Current Attorney Fitzgerald

You just can’t make this stuff up.  In 2019 we presented an inventory of Comey’s “criminal” leaks.  One person on the list was Comey’s friend Patrick Fitzgerald who is now representing Comey in his case. 

“Dirty Cop” Jim Comey was fired from his position as FBI Director in 2017.  On Thursday night Comey was charged with two crimes.

Comey is a dirty cop who went after President Trump in an effort to remove him from office.  Comey, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, Andrew Weissmann and many more were accomplices in this attempted coup.  To this date, they have not been held accountable for this historic, unprecedented and massive crime on the American people.

Comey was FBI Director and was fired.  He also was found leaking documents in an effort to bring down President Trump.  We believed these leaks were criminal based on the information below.

Regardless, who would ever imagine the FBI Director in this country leaking documents to the press to bring down a duly elected President who did nothing wrong?

In 2019 we listed the known leaks that Comey made to the press.  His current attorney was involved in criminal leaks which Comey has yet to be charged for.

In Comey’s current case where he is charged with two crimes he filed with the court a document identifying his attorney as Patrick Fitzgerald.

FBI Brass Fires More Than 15 Agents Photographed Kneeling During George Floyd Protests and Riots in DC

The FBI raided the home of the former President of the United States over made-up offenses.  This is the same President whom the FBI attempted to prevent from winning the 2016 Election and then attempted to remove from office with the Russiagate scam during his first term.

FBI leaders from the corrupt Obama/Biden Administration hired a Russian and others and used their made-up information to attempt to remove President Trump from office during his first term.

At least 14 FBI whistleblowers in 2022 approached Rep. Jim Jordan with allegations of misconduct and abuse within the bureau under Christopher Wray’s leadership.

Rep. Jordan received information at that time about retaliation against at least one whistleblower and a ‘purge’ of conservative employees.

Jim Jordan said security clearances of conservative employees were being revoked as punishment.

In September 2022, insiders at the FBI told The Washington Times that the agency is becoming more political by putting liberal agents in charge through promotions and punishing or firing agents who support conservative causes.

Trans Terrorism Is Rising: The FBI Lacks the Tools to Counter It

Over the past five years, there have been more transgender mass shootings than in the previous two decades. From 2018 to 2025, at least four or five confirmed cases appear consistently across sources, compared to just one case documented before 2018 in The Violence Project database, which tracks incidents back to 1966.

Recent cases include the 2025 Catholic church attack in Minnesota, where a transgender individual killed two children and injured 17, leaving a manifesto threatening to “kill Donald Trump”; the August 2025 Minneapolis school shooting by Robin Westman; the March 2023 Nashville Covenant School shooting by Audrey Hale; the November 2022 Colorado Springs Club Q shooting; the May 2019 Highlands Ranch, Colorado, school shooting; and the September 2018 Aberdeen, Maryland, warehouse shooting. In February 2024, Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, a pansexual nonbinary Antifa sympathizer from Irondale, Alabama, attempted to bomb the state attorney general’s office in Montgomery. The 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk was not committed by a transgender person, but by a man romantically involved with a transgender individual who subscribed to trans ideology.

Tracking this trend is difficult because federal crime reporting systems do not record gender identity. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports and Active Shooter documents track age, race, and biological sex, but not whether an offender identifies as transgender. Similarly, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) categorizes offenders by biological sex, meaning a transgender shooter would typically be reported as male. As a result, there is no centralized, official dataset specifically counting transgender offenders in murders or mass shootings.

Beyond mass shootings, which represent only a small percentage of violence in America, transgender perpetrators are increasingly appearing in violent assaults, though the real numbers are likely higher given the crime data collection problems discussed earlier. On example was in June 2024, Jason Lee Willie, who identifies as a woman and goes by Alexia, was sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to threatening to rape girls in restrooms, carry out school shootings, and bomb churches.

The rise in trans-perpetrated violence, intimidation, and assaults by extreme trans activists is often linked to “Trantifa,” a loosely organized movement of far-left transgender activists associated with Antifa ideology. The name, a portmanteau of “transgender” and “Antifa,” refers to activists who view the United States as systemically racist and oppressive toward trans people, framing laws against gender-related practices as part of a “trans genocide.” Online, an official Trantifa International Facebook and Twitter presence describes itself as “the transgender arm of Antifa.”

REPORT: Disgraced Former FBI Director James Comey Expected to SURRENDER Today, Friday Morning

On Thursday evening, the Department of Justice finally dropped the hammer on one of the most crooked swamp creatures in American history.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two felony charges: making false statements and obstruction of justice.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned two counts against Comey, just days after President Trump demanded that his DOJ act “now” to hold Comey and other corrupt operatives accountable.

James Comey built his career on dishonesty and abuse of power. He repeatedly lied to Congress and the FISA court to secure illegal warrants against President Trump and his allies during the hoax “Russiagate” witch hunt.

Comey knew as early as 2016 that the Steele Dossier was fabricated opposition research, yet he used it anyway to weaponize the FBI against a sitting President.

For years, he operated as a partisan hitman inside the Bureau, greenlighting lawless spying operations and leaking strategically to the press to damage Trump.

CHRIS WRAY LIED UNDER OATH! FBI Had 274 Plainclothes Agents in the Crowd on January 6th – IT WAS A TOTAL FEDSURRECTION

It appears that James Comey could have a familiar cellmate when he is finally sent to prison for lying under oath to Congress and the American people.

Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.

In a bold statement that directly contradicts multiple official sources, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress in July 2023 that he “does not believe” undercover FBI agents were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Wray’s statement came during a tense exchange with Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who specifically asked about the number of undercover agents in the Capitol vicinity on the infamous day.

Wray stated that he could not provide such a figure and even expressed doubt about the presence of undercover agents at all.

“I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene,” Wray responded to Biggs. “As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents on.”

Biggs wrote on Twitter that “Wray will be held accountable for this lie.”

“FBI Director Wray just told me he “does not believe” there were any undercover FBI agents in or around the U.S. Capitol on January 6. This claim has been already debunked—including by the former U.S. Capitol Police Chief,” Biggs added.

HYPOCRITE ALERT: Sen. Blumenthal Defends James Comey After Trump DOJ Finally Indicts the Corrupt Ex-FBI Boss — Admits Democrats Are Now Writing Legislation to Block Prosecutions of Their Allies

Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, who infamously lied about serving in Vietnam, is going all-in as a radical activist on behalf of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, who was just indicted by President Trump’s Department of Justice.

The very same Blumenthal who gleefully celebrated when Joe Biden’s weaponized DOJ tried to throw President Trump behind bars for the rest of his natural life is suddenly clutching his pearls over “malicious prosecution.”

During his CNN appearance with Erin Burnett, Blumenthal openly bragged about his plans to interfere with the DOJ’s case against Comey.

Blumenthal admitted that Senate Democrats are drafting legislation to give “remedies and rights” to political operatives like Comey who face prosecution, claiming America is on the “way to tyranny” because Trump’s DOJ dared to indict a Democrat’s ally.

Erin Burnett:
I want to ask you, in this context, what can you do right now as a Democratic senator about this?

Blumenthal:
“I can ask questions of the Department of Justice, which we will do. We can support colleagues and others on the Republican side who may be inclined—I hope they will be—to draw a line here and protest. Obviously, I have no role in court. I was a prosecutor for four and a half years as U.S. attorney in Connecticut. I also was attorney general for 20 years.

The most consequential decisions I made were whether to charge someone, because nobody ever fully recovers from those charges. A lot of people believe that an acquittal just means there was some technical issue.

I think it’s important to encourage the private bar to step up. Donald Trump made deals with a number of the major law firms in the country. They’ve got to rip them apart and say, enough is enough.

I would encourage attorneys in the Department of Justice to stand up for their conviction and conscience, as Eric Siebert did. He’s the U.S. attorney who resigned rather than bring those charges.

As a member of the United States Senate, I’m going to go to the floor of the Senate, I’m going to go to committee meetings, I’m going to speak privately, I’m going to protest, and I am going to seek legislation—we’re formulating it right now—that may well prevent some of this perversion of justice.

We are writing legislation that will give remedies and rights to people who are victims of malicious prosecution. We have to provide safeguards, because we’ve clearly seen how the ordinary norms are defined by this autocratic president. We’re on the way to tyranny if we’re permitted to go forward.”

Ex-FBI Director James Comey charged with making false statement, obstruction, AP source says

 James Comey was charged Thursday with making a false statement and obstruction in a criminal case filed days after President Donald Trump appeared to urge his attorney general to prosecute the former FBI director and other perceived political enemies.

The indictment makes Comey the first former senior government official to face prosecution in connection with one of Trump’s chief grievances: the long-concluded investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump and his supporters have long derided that investigation as a “hoax” and a “witch hunt” despite multiple government reviews showing Moscow interfered on behalf of the Republican’s campaign.

The criminal case is likely to deepen concerns that the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Trump loyalist, is being weaponized in pursuit of investigations and now prosecutions of public figures the president regards as his political enemies.

FBI Releases Photo Showing Anti-ICE Messages on Bullet Casings Engraved by Dallas ICE Shooter Identified as 29-Year-Old Joshua Jahn

The radical left strikes again.

Two people are dead, including the shooter, in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility as an act of targeted violence, the FBI said on Wednesday.

Among the deceased are two detainees, and a third is in critical condition.

The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Joshua Jahn fired at the ICE building from a nearby rooftop and ended up killing two detainees.

No ICE agents were injured.

The Daily Mail reported:

A sniper who killed at least two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the identity of the gunman as Jahn, and ICE said in a statement that the sniper ‘fired indiscriminately’.

The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.

Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter’s body were engraved with ‘anti-ICE messages’, and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: ‘Anti-ICE.’

The FBI confirmed the shooting was an act of targeted violence.

FBI says it found classified documents in John Bolton’s DC office

FBI agents executing a search warrant at former national security adviser John Bolton’s downtown Washington office last month turned up documents marked as classified, according to a court filing released Tuesday.

description of the documents gathered in the Aug. 22 search suggested they included materials that referenced weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. mission to the United Nations and records related to the U.S. government’s strategic communications.

The inventory by an FBI agent doesn’t specify the number of suspected classified documents. But it lists several collections or folders that were labeled “confidential” and some pages marked “secret.” The heading on at least one set marked “confidential” was redacted from the inventory, filed earlier this month in federal court in Washington.

FBI agents also carried out a search warrant the same morning at Bolton’s Bethesda, Maryland, home. The inventory from that search contained no outward indication that classified information was located. However, in both instances, agents reported seizing computers and other electronic devices whose contents were not detailed.

Both search warrant applications indicated FBI agents were seeking evidence related to three felony offenses, including gathering, transmitting or losing national defense information in violation of the Espionage Act and retaining classified information without permission.

In Trump’s first term, Bolton faced a lawsuit claiming he included classified information in a book he wrote after leaving the administration. A federal judge warned publicly that the former White House official’s actions might have been criminal. However, a Justice Department probe did not lead to charges and was eventually dropped under the Biden administration in 2021.

It’s not known when the investigation restarted. Court filings indicate that investigators determined that Bolton’s AOL email account was hacked by a foreign entity, although details of the alleged hack and how the U.S. became aware of it remain unclear.

Redacted court filings related to the Washington search were released by Justice Department lawyers after several news organizations, including POLITICO, filed a formal motion asking for disclosure of the records. DOJ attorneys agreed to make public redacted versions of the inventory, search warrant and accompanying affidavit, but resisted blanket release of the information, citing a need to protect a national security investigation.
