https://apnews.com/article/comey-indicted-trump-justice-department-0765600411c46882dccde70c3354e382 President Donald Trump appears to be prodding his administration to seek criminal charges against more targets after a grand jury returned an indictment against foe and former FBI Director James Comey.
“It’s not a list, but I think there’ll be others,” Trump told reporters on Friday as he departed the White House.
He added: “It’s about justice. It’s not revenge.”
Comey is accused of making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding back in 2020. He declared his innocence Thursday and said, “Let’s have a trial.”
“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump,” Comey said in a video posted to Substack.
Comey, who was FBI director from 2013 to 2017, was fired by Trump during the Republican president’s first term amid the government’s probe into allegations of ties between Russian officials and Trump’s 2016 campaign.
John Bolton, who was national security adviser during Trump’s first term before being fired in 2019, is being investigated for his handling of certain documents after leaving government. His lawyer has denied wrongdoing. Like Comey, Bolton wrote a book that portrayed Trump in very unflattering ways.

What was the Russia probe? Prosecutors led by special counsel Robert Mueller did not establish that Trump or his associates criminally colluded with Russia in 2016, but they found that Trump’s campaign had welcomed Moscow’s assistance. Trump and his supporters have called the investigation a “hoax” despite multiple government reviews showing Moscow interfered on behalf of the campaign. The indictment against Comey, however, doesn’t center on the Russia investigation. It accuses Comey of lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he said he had not authorized anyone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about a particular investigation. It appears from the context to refer to an FBI inquiry related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Democrat who ran for president against Trump in 2016. Trump, who has repeatedly called Comey a “bad person,” celebrated the indictment. “He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation,” the president said on his social media platform. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, leader of House Democrats, said the indictment is a “disgraceful attack on the rule of law.” Comey scorched Trump in book Comey’s disgust for Trump was laid out in his 2018 memoir, “A Higher Loyalty.” “This president is unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values,” Comey wrote. “His leadership is transactional, ego driven and about personal loyalty.” He recalled a private meeting with Trump early in his first presidency in which Trump demanded allegiance. Comey likened it to a mafia induction. Earlier this year, the Trump administration said it was investigating a social media post by Comey that Trump and his allies interpreted as a call for violence against the president.

In an Instagram post, Comey wrote “cool shell formation on my beach walk” under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for “86 47.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary says 86 is slang meaning “to throw out,” “get rid of” or “refuse service to,” and Trump is the 47th president. Comey deleted the post and said he didn’t know “some folks associate those numbers with violence.” Family ties Comey’s daughter was a federal prosecutor for 10 years until she was fired in July by the Justice Department. Maurene Comey is suing to get her job back, saying her dismissal was unconstitutional and connected to Trump’s hostility toward her father. “If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain,” Maurene Comey said in a note to her colleagues. “Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.” The White House said the decision came from Justice Department officials. Separately, James Comey’s son-in-law, Troy Edwards, resigned as a federal prosecutor minutes after the former FBI director was indicted. ___

>>1442438 Good. Drag that motherfucker out in his underwear like Roger Stone. Charge them with anything - everything - as long as it's within the confines of the law. And remember! The bar for starting an investigation is very low! Nobody is above the law. Remember? Hell we can even threaten to charge their children like they did with Mike Flynn's. It was okay back then. Political prosecutions were just fine then. Now when you reap what you sow it's bad? To do what democrats have already been doing? Using their power to arrest opponents, illegally spying on presidential candidates, going after Trump for bullshit crimes, going after his lawyers - his valet even! - and now the tables have turned it's authoritarian now? Fuck you. Fuck every democrat crying about this.
>but Comey won't spend a day in jail That's fine. I don't give a shit. It won't ever be equal to the persecution democrats gave to Republicans during Biden's term, it should be a lot more dems getting arrested and charged, but I'll take what I can get. Fuck 'em. They opened this door and we will walk through it. Raid everyone's houses, keep charging them for any little lie, investigate and interview everyone they know, subpoena every record that you can, drag them all out in the middle of the night with armed agents going through their wives drawers, put their mug shots on Fox News - cuz you never know! Nobody is above the law!
God I love how the left Fucked Around and Found Out. We warned them. We said when the pendulum swung back payback will be a motherfucker. But no, they were loving this shit. They were in a very celebratory mood going after Republicans this way and all the bullshit charges against Trump. Fining half a billion during the election. Changing misdemeanors into felonies. It was all good back then. Look at them now. "This is outrageous! This is Fascism! Authoritarianism!" - Fuuuuuck youuuuuuu.

>>1442868 https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/26/james-comey-indictment-flaws-00582920 The indictment of James Comey, ordered up by President Donald Trump in a breathtaking breach of Justice Department independence, is being welcomed with glee in MAGA circles.
But the case against the former FBI director and longtime Trump nemesis may quickly end in disappointment — and even humiliation — for the prosecutor who was conscripted by the president to bring the charges.
The bare-bones indictment secured by that prosecutor, Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan, is exceptionally weak, former prosecutors and legal experts say. Fundamental problems with the case itself — as well as the unusual events that preceded the indictment — will make it difficult to bring Comey to trial, let alone secure a conviction.
Former federal terrorism prosecutor Andy McCarthy called the charges “poorly done” and predicted they will be thrown out by a judge well before any trial.
“The whole thing is just bizarro,” McCarthy said. “This is the kind of thing that should never ever happen. … This case should never go to trial because it’s obvious from the four corners of the indictment that there’s no case.”
The issues that could doom the case include the overt political pressure by Trump to bring the indictment, Halligan’s own inexperience, peculiarities in the indictment itself and even a five-year-old technology issue.

Imagine having such a pathetic system that not a single person believes either side could manage a fair election. No thinking person in the country believes either side can prove a fair election. Even if the country depended on it. So much freedom. They only support non-democratic govts in conflict states regardless of admin. Public freedom is reduced. Regardless of admin. Corporate powers and corruption are rampant and unchecked. You guessed it. So even if it was actually a constitutional republic, following a democratic process. You couldn’t demonstrate that at anytime since Obama. Which definitionally means you have not been Democratic for quite a while. Can any constitutional minds tell me I’m wrong here? Elections are only to show a transitional process of power. Considering actual power is consolidated supra-politically it’s moot. As long as people don’t show up to the Capitol. Use Portland as a sacrificial limb, it’s always been weird
