The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey โ€” and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say
CBS ^

Posted on 10/05/2025 4:55:00 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, and has suspended an agent who refused to participate in the plan, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Comey was charged last week with lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, an unprecedented move that came after President Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into his longtime adversary. A grand jury voted to indict him on Sept. 25 and hours later, Comey was issued a summons directing him to appear in federal court in northern Virginia for an Oct. 9 arraignment. His lawyers agreed to bring him to his arraignment, two sources said.

Law enforcement has long opted to carry out public perp walks for some defendants. The tactic is controversial, with critics arguing it undermines defendants' presumption of innocence.

Bet CBS was just fine with what happened to Roger Stone. Wonder if CNN will show up if invited to tag along for Comey's perp walk?

Or how about Peter Navarro, or Steve Bannon, or grandmas who happened to be standing around on January 6, 2020? I'm sure CBS would say 'that was different'.

“suspended” seems weak.

4AM, SWAT team, dragged outside his home in his bathrobe with his wife. Politically hostile news organizations warned in advance. That would be established protocol.

Exactly. What they did to Roger Stone at six in the morning is how it should be done, shock and awe, not CBS talking about them weighing their options.

Let us never forget the raid on President Trumpโ€™s Florida home, posting of his mug shotโ€ฆ..
Once again the leftist media memory holes and then cryโ€™s โ€œoutrageโ€

“sources”. Kash still has a problem with leaks. Don’t talk. Do!

“sources say” = bullshit ... CBS is a day late and a dollar short in reporting these lies started by MSNBC ... Kash Patel has already refuted all of this BS, calling MSNBC “an ass clown car of misinformation” ...

A perp-walk is likely the only Justice Comey will ever get.

This is the biggest stupid problem for our side, we tell them what weโ€™re gonna do, or thinking we might do. Just shut up and do it. Go get Corney and arrest him if heโ€™s done wrong. And Donald, donโ€™t tell anyone youโ€™re sending troops to Portland (or anywhere else), just send them in the middle of the night.

It would appear that one of the biggest problems (if not the biggest) affecting the FBI is the worthlessness of Blondie, a purebred uniparty/GOPe type. She’s looking like Sessions.

When did SeeBS originally report this? It was reported elsewhere yesterday and Patel came out and made a statement to the effect that it’s now the official position of the Justice Dept. to NOT do perp walks.

They should’ve picked Comey up at 4:30AM with a SWAT raid and Fox news van out front.

I would lie the thank the unnamed “agent” for outing himself. We have to get rid of every traitor.

Go get Comey on October 8th to make sure he appears in from of a judge for October 9th. We already know his word is trash. Never trust a lawyer.

Don’t broadcast it. Just do it.

Do it in the afternoon....that way a slow drive to jail in a car with no AC at the height of afternoon traffic in the back seat of a puke smelling car with a wet seat. Give him the full effect. If you get him to jail and processed late, you may be able to keep him overnight or have him mix with some of the other inmates. Give him a night to remember.
