In what undoubtedly will shake the foundations of the Democrats’ power structure in America and worry a lot of leftists who participated in the weaponization of the government against President Trump during his first term, a grand jury has indicted ex-FBI chief James Comey.
Comey, who recently promoted the “86-47” messaging presumed to mean “86” or destroy “47,” with Trump being the 47th president, was indicted on two counts – one count of lying and one count of obstruction of justice.
He already has been complaining how Trump has weaponized the government against his opponents, such as Comey. But Comey’s comments come in the aftermath of his participation, and the participation of multiple Democrat power figures, in the fraudulent “Russiagate” conspiracy theory that was assembled to try to keep Trump from being elected, or then to destroy him during his first term.
That conspiracy, now proven to be completely falsified, was based on a scheme by twice-failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to tie Trump to Russia.
Comey’s FBI participated in that scheme, including launching an unfounded investigation of Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”

The charges followed Trump’s decision to remove Erik Siebert, then the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who sources insisted had doubts about charges against Comey.
Also in the equation is New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned for office on the promise to “get” President Trump even before she assembled wild claims of fraud against him and his companies.
Her case penalizing Trump nearly $500 million came through a judge with confirmed anti-Trump agenda, and was reversed as unconstitutional at the appellate level.
Trump replaced Siebert with Lindsay Halligan, a former defense attorney.

ABC said that federal prosecutors in Virginia claimed they could not establish probable cause to charge Comey.
Trump said, “Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States. She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving.”
Reports called the charges a “most dramatic escalation” in what Trump opponents have claimed is retribution by Trump against those who attacked him when they were in power in government.
Comey, who in fact was fired by Trump during his first term, has vocally criticized Trump over and over.
He’s even claimed Trump is politicizing the justice system, a charge that Trump himself repeatedly has brought against Comey and other Democrats.
