No, this is not about politics, or tit-for-tat.
Fired former FBI Director James Comey, who was yesterday indicted for lying to Congress, has always put on the public persona of a "Boy Scout," apolitical, only concerned with honesty and honor.
Maybe even "the last Boy Scout." His media allies, after all, say so -- over and over.
And in the narrative of some, Comey was this poor thing, so honorable, so guileless, so noble (pay no attention to that "86 47" assassination threat he put out there), who could be no match for the wily and unscrupulous Trump. Get a load.
Now he's accused of lying, from a grand jury, according to CNN, along with obstruction of justice:
During the 2020 testimony, Comey doubled down to the Senate that he had not been authorizing leaks to the press when he was FBI director atop sensitive 2016 investigations.
He had previously testified in 2017 that he hadn’t authorized leaks. In 2020, Comey said, “I can only speak to my testimony. I stand by the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017.”
The Justice Department said in its indictment on Thursday that Comey “knew” and “in fact had authorized” an unnamed contact of his “to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation.” That's some Scout's Honor from the guy whose media allies constantly portray him as upright to a fault.
The mainstream press, aligned with the Democrats, is now trying to defend him, comically so, given that up until recently, they blamed him for Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 election to Trump, and hated him accordingly.
Now they've got the 'Hitler' machines running at full tilt with these indictments.
They're calling the charges "political," they're calling the prosecution a "weaponization of justice,"

Didn’t Comey say that “my ethics come from my communism”?
Is there anyone in the Comey family not employed by the Department of Justice?
Comey should go to prison for the way he duped Martha Stewart.
Any action he took was based on a false premise.
That he said or did anything is fraud and he knew it.
He committed HIGH TREASON and what he’s charged with is a joke.
Was that Comey too? I had forgotten the particulars. BTW, Comey’s behind his back nickname in the FBI was “the Bishop” for his self righteousness. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving and smug, smarmy prick. Well, maybe to Strok?
“He committed HIGH TREASON and what he’s charged with is a joke.”
18 U.S.C. § 2381 states that a person convicted of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000”.
18 U.S.C. § 3281, states that “An indictment for any offense punishable by death may be found at any time without limitation”.
He could be charged with treason at any time. It’s been pointed out that the lying to Congress and obstruction charges require filing by Tuesday of next week, or he scates.
Treason is very hard to prove in most cases because the Constitution sets very strict proof requirements: the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or a confession in open court, along with evidence of intent to betray the nation.
“Is there anyone in the Comey family not employed by the Department of Justice?”
Past tense. I’m sure Comey had no influence on both his daughter and son in law being hired by the DOJ /s. At least they are now both gone. Of course some slimey N.Y. law firm will pick them at up at double their Federal salary.
His allies are supposedly “media”? What kind of credibility does that make for?
Karma indeed
I think the charge of obstructing a congressional proceeding is the real stick in the eye. That’s what they charged the J6 patriots with to work toward the charge of insurrection.
EC
I’m still waiting to see the booking mug shot. Was he even placed in custody, brought to a facility and processed?
