Looks like deep state creep James Comey will have to “86” some of his plans in the coming months after being indicted on charges of lying to and obstructing the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020.
An injustice! Democrats cried. Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, declared that Comey’s indictment is part of President Donald Trump’s “wrath and vengeance campaign.” The Maryland leftist, of course, was all-in on the Biden administration’s vengeance campaign against his presidential predecessor and his supporters.
But Raskin said something remarkably hypocritcal, even for him.
He’s confident that a jury of Comey’s peers will see past the Trump hater’s trouble with the truth and “vindicate” the disgraced former FBI head.
“But, until that happens, Mr. Comey will be forced to spend time, money, and energy defending himself against this blatantly fraudulent and vindictive indictment,” he said Thursday evening in a statement.
Wow! That’s rich.
‘Unprecedented Legal Action’
Raskin and his Trump Derangement Syndrome-suffering colleagues rejoiced in the time, energy and money — lots of money — the president and his campaign spent in fighting “blatantly fraudulent and vindictive” indictments.
In just a two-year period, Trump, his campaign and other fundraising organizations, according to the Associated Press, were forced to pay out $76.7 million in legal fees to defend the then-former president and Republican Party presidential candidate from the most expensive and nation-rending lawfare campaign in the nation’s history.
As should be abundantly clear to even the most dim-witted liberal, the Democrat Party, the party for today’s political assassin, stopped at literally nothing to take out Trump. The Biden administration and its leftist prosecutorial pals in New York and Georgia and Arizona and Wisconsin and several other states turned the administration of justice into a political gun — used liberally against Trump and his defenders.
And Comey, the FBI’s leaker-in-chief, played a role in the weaponization of justice as Trump was opening his first term.
As if the previous four years had magically never happened, Politico described Comey’s indictment an “unprecedented legal action.”
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned on getting Trump, used a kangaroo court to prosecute her party’s top political enemy in a bogus civil fraud case. The politically conflicted judge presiding over the trial levied a half-billion fine against the Trump Organization. A New York appellate court ruled the fine was excessive and unconstitutional and tossed the penalty altogether.
“The immense penalty in this case is troubling,” Justice Peter Moulton said during last year’s oral arguments. “How do you tether the amount that was assessed by the Supreme Court to the harm that was caused here where parties left these transactions happy … ?”
‘Punishing and Silencing’
Russia collusion hoaxer, California Sen. Adam Schiff, who has his own leaking problems, audaciously declared that the DOJ “is now little more than an arm of the president’s retribution campaign.”
Sen. Mark R. Warner, a Virginia Democrat and Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in a statement that Trump “has made clear that he intends to turn our justice system into a weapon for punishing and silencing his critics.”
Democrats, of course, actually did try to silence their political opponent by unconstitutionally kicking Trump off the Republican primary ballot.
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who has also had his own leaking problems, insists that the merits of the ridiculously political federal indictments against Trump “are very different from this extremely thin indictment that’s presented against Jim Comey, the facts of which, at least as far as I’m aware, are going to be very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.”
We’ll see.
And before liberals begin to cry about how much it will cost the American taxpayer to prosecute the former FBI director (because Democrats are sticklers for saving taxpayer dollars), they should remember that we’ve seen this move before. According to a Newsweek review, taxpayers were on the hook for at least $50 million that special counsel Jack Smith’s office spent in his failed prosecution of Donald Trump via the Biden administration’s weaponized Department of Justice.
FBI Director Kash Patel said, as Comey and plenty of Democrats have said of Trump, “No one is above the law.”
“Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability,” Patel wrote on X. “For far too long, corrupt leadership weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and eroding public trust. Under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on. No one is above the law.”
