Grand Jury Indicts Comey For Lying To Congress

Oh, how the mighty self-righteous have fallen.

James Comey — yes, that James Comey — the “holier-than-thou” moral compass of the FBI, the man who somehow managed to make everyone on both sides of the aisle question whether federal law enforcement had completely lost the plot… has just been indicted. Not just for jaywalking or forgetting to file his taxes — no, indicted by a federal grand jury for giving false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The very thing he swore he was upholding — integrity, transparency, justice — yeah, that just blew up in his face.

This wasn’t some slip of the tongue at a barbecue. This was under oath, in front of Congress, tied to arguably the most weaponized political narrative in modern American history: Russia, Russia, Russia. You remember that one, right? The endless leaks, the breathless CNN panels, the coffee-stained “intelligence” memos, the Twitter mobs chanting “treason!” while blue-checks turned every wild accusation into gospel? Comey wasn’t just a spectator. He helped light that match.

And now? The match is burning him.

The irony here is so thick you could slice it with a butter knife. After years of smug media tours and endless lectures about ethics, Comey now finds himself the first former senior administration official indicted for his role in the Trump-Russia investigation. Let that sink in. The guy who wrote books about “higher loyalty” is now facing federal charges for misleading Congress about one of the most divisive, damaging political hoaxes in U.S. history.

But don’t expect a humble apology. Nope. Comey’s response to the indictment wasn’t shock or even a whiff of contrition. He turned the whole thing right back into political theater. In a now widely mocked Instagram video, he practically clutched his pearls, painting himself as a tragic martyr betrayed by the very system he once weaponized. His quote? “My heart is broken for the Department of Justice.” Oh please.

Even more absurd — yes, it gets worse — this is the same man who posted a cryptic photo back in May with seashells arranged into the numbers “86 47.” For those blissfully unaware, “86” is known in some circles as code for kill, and “47” just happens to be the number Donald Trump would be if re-elected president. Comey later walked it back, of course. “Oops,” he said, essentially, “I didn’t know those numbers meant that.” Because the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation — the top cop of the country — apparently doesn’t Google-coded threats before he hits “post.”

You’d think this was a parody, but it’s all too real.

And it’s not just Trump, Comey’s been gunning for. He’s been on a scorched-earth crusade against the Republican Party, going so far as to call it “white supremacist adjacent” on MSNBC. Because nothing says “I’m innocent” like blanket-labeling half the country as racists while standing trial for lying under oath.

Trump, of course, didn’t waste the opportunity. On Truth Social, he called Comey “one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to.” And honestly? After watching years of smug TV hits, weaponized leaks, politically convenient “missteps,” and now the alleged criminal obstruction of Congress — the man might have a point.

You won’t believe who agrees with Trump about Comey, although not for the same reason:

FBI Director Kash Patel, in a blistering follow-up statement, made it clear: this isn’t just about one man. This is about rot. “For far too long,” he said, “previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement.”

The Russiagate circus wasn’t just political theater. It was an assault on democracy. And now? One of the ringleaders is being dragged into the light.

Tick tock.

Because if this indictment is just the beginning — and it sure feels like it — then James Comey might soon have some very high-profile company.
