Ironically, by labeling Trump’s actions as “revenge”, Mr. Comey unintentionally indicts himself.
Last week a Grand Jury indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional hearing. Comey, unsurprisingly, claimed innocence and insisted the charges against him were nothing more than Donald Trump taking “revenge.”
Many other Democrats have said the same: Trump is out for revenge!
It’s an old refrain. Democrats have been accusing Donald Trump of seeking revenge since he was re-elected. For example, November 6th, 2024, the day after the election, Susan Glasser wrote “Donald Trump’s Revenge” in the New Yorker. On April 7th, 2025, The New York Times ran with the headline “In Trump’s Second Term Retribution Comes in Many Forms” with the opening sentence reading “President Trump’s campaign to exact revenge against his perceived foes….” And a March 30, 2025 article in The Guardian reads, “Revenge is his number one motivation: how Trump is waging war on the media.”
In response to the FBI raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s home last August, The New York Times editorial board wrote “ Trump gets his revenge on John Bolton. Who’s next?” The Washington Post editorial board opined “FBI raid targeting Bolton crossed a line in the Trump revenge campaign.” And, Nicholas Riccardi of the AP recently wrote “Trump ran on a promise of revenge. Now he’s making good on it.”
“Revenge” appears to be a key Democrat talking point these days.
Of course none of these Democrat “journalists” or politicians considered either the early morning raid on Mar-a-Lago or the far-fetched criminal indictments of Trump as “revenge.” Nor is the attempted assassination of Trump at Butler seen as an act of revenge.

Do they not understand what “revenge” means? Lol

“...And, by the way, NY, you have what you deserve coming to you if you vote in that muslim, 25 yrs after his people took shots at our country and murdered almost 3000 Americans and visitors....”
^Truth^ that also applies to all of America when they were actually stupid enough to elect the great muslim messiah: odongo. Twice!!!
It will take a long, long time, if ever, to recover from that evil basstid did to this country. ALL of it foisted onto America by the godless communist RAT party...they should be totally banned as a terrorist organization from operating within the confines of the USA.
There are critics on the right who say that the charges are weak and set a bad precedent that will lead to tit for tat political prosecutions and turn us into a banana republic. Some of those criticisms make valid points. But none of them address the fundamental issue - what is going to be done about the complete perversion of the FBI, national security apparatus and DOJ over the past 10 years in a mad effort to persecute Trump and shut down conservative opposition to Deep State policies? Until the critics can answer that, I’ll take Trump’s “revenge” over a George W. Bush “turn the other cheek” any day.
WHO CARES WHY, JUST NUKE THESE PIECES OF HUMAN DEBRIS WHILE YOU CAN
So the left is admitting they did something that needs venging?
Once the liberal has been mugged, it’s justice, not revenge.
Arguably, not. IMO, revenge describes what can occur with little or no consideration of justice, while justice attempts to eliminate the element of revenge. Police carry weapons, as do bank robbers.
It’s the DOJ prosecutors shouting, “BY GRABTHAR’S HAMMER ...!” that is giving it away to the left.
If Comey didn’t violate the law, he has nothing to worry about. Otherwise, it is simple justice.
What was it called by the media when Comey and others went after Trump, his aides and attorneys, and his supporters?
When Democrats seek revenge, it’s called justice; when Republicans seek justice, it’s called revenge.
The term “retribution,” is more appropriate.
How braindead are you? Wut? Pursuit of justice cannot be spurred on by revenge?
So long as justice is applied and pursued, the initiating thought is irrelevant.
How PRECISELY written!👏
You’re so correct.
PS: At this point, I more often find myself grateful for blunt facts & fewer syllables.😄
