James Comey surrenders to feds after grand jury indictment
The Post Millennial ^ | 4/29/26 | Hannah Nightingale

Posted on 04/29/2026 10:56:54 AM PDT by CFW

Former FBI Director James Comey has surrendered himself following the grand indictment against him on charges related to a 2025 social media post in which he allegedly threatened the life of President Donald Trump.

Per CNN, Comey turned himself in to federal authorities at an Alexandria, Virginia courthouse. The grand jury indictment revealed on Tuesday charges Comey with threatening to kill Trump and transmitting the threat in interstate and foreign commerce.

Comey said in a video following the indictment on Tuesday, "well, they’re back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won’t be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me, I’m still innocent, I’m still not afraid, and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary, so let’s go."

Excellent! I want to see his mugshot on the front page of NYTimes and WaPo.

He knew what he was doing. He didn't "find" those shells. He arranged them himself.

I’m no lawyer, but this seems like a pretty thin case (though worth it just for the indictment and mugshot).

He needed to be woken at 3 AM and marched out in his undies to all sorts of media cameras.

May not be able to ‘prove’ he arranged them either. Which is sad since he’s such a sanctimonious POS.

The only question is whether this will be laughed out of court or simply dismissed without any laughter. What are we even doing?

There is some reasoning behind this. It’s not just seashells on the beach.

Maybe the prosecution will explain the genesis of “86” to the jury, i.e., “8 miles out, and 6 feet under”.

I hate being this cynical but l think it is possible that Blanche knows this case is going nowhere and it is just him trying to stay AG. Blanche was a rat just a few years ago and l do not want him to be the AG period.

If they want to just make stuff up in front of a judge, then sure, maybe they will.

It’s very thin. Petty in fact.

Blanche is a rat mole. I think this is a cynical attempt to stay AG.

I have a feeling there is other evidence. For a grand jury in Virginia to indict him, there may be something we aren’t yet privy to. An online threat or admission of what those numbers referred to? I don’t know. At the very least his personal wealth will be decimated by lawyers...

I agree but ... the arrest warrant was brought by a duly convened Grand Jury.
Let’s not get out over our skis.

He coordinated the election fraud, wiretapped Trump campaign HQ, lied about Mikey Flynn and framed him, ran spies against the President inside the White House, and he helped create and push the fake Steele “dossier”. SO we have Blanche the Democrat until inauguration day, running this distraction scam.

He ignores all of that and his background at a dope bank.
And charges him for the stupid seashell thing? His lawyer will easily swat that away like a gnat.
He still claims he was walking down the beach and “look what I found! lol”.
How does anyone prove he did it.

And goofballs are celebrating like it means anything. This goes nowhere and anyone with any sense knows it.
But nobody is talking about food and fuel prices, Epstein, Trump being run from Tel Aviv, etc.

We all know he didn’t find those shells. But proving it takes more than we just “know” he did it.

Will they try to put him in solitary without any visitors or medical care?

Sauce for the goose, if that were done.

DOJ - You arranged the shells.
JCom - No I didn’t.
DOJ - Well you posted a picture of them.
JCom - Yeah, and that is free speech.
DOJ - Well you were mean to DJT.
JCom - Can I go home now?

And we will look like the weak losers we are. I hope they have something else that are going to trap him with.

Was there a CNN crew on hand for the festivities?

RE: Comey surrenders....

I Surrender
—Celine Dion (and Elvis version was #1 in 1961).

There’s so much life I’ve left to live
And this fire’s burning still
When I watch you look at me
I think I could find the will
To stand for every dream
And forsake the solid ground
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they ever knew
I’m in love with you.

Every night’s getting longer
And this fire is getting stronger, baby
I’ll swallow my pride
And I’ll be alive
Can’t you hear my call?
I surrender all.

Right here, right now
I give my life to live again
I’ll break free, take me
My everything I surrender all to you.
