Except for Fox, it seems the other US media outlets are ignoring this. Most of the news about it on ground.news is translated from foreign sources:

My Twitter feed is flooded with copy and paste shit about this and the GOP creating a constitutional crisis.

There is no constitutional crisis other than the fact the corruptocrats are finally having to deal with it.

If you're under oath and lied and it's provable, I don't understand how anyone could think constitutional crisis. The whole innocent until proven guilty. Not you, but people need to let the system do its thing. DOJ thought it was warranted, so people need to let them do their job.

I have no issue with the FBI as I don't do illegal things. But if Comey did lie in a legal setting, he's not above the law. No one is.

Last night, a federal grand jury in Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony charges: making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. Both charges relate to Comey’s 2020 testimony over RussiaGate, when he (falsely) told Congress he never ever approved media leaks of (now-debunked) classified information from the investigation. Stunned Senators watched Comey’s nose grow by two full inches.

Comey must appear for arraignment in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, on October 9th. (FYI: I could not confirm rumors Comey would be required to surrender for arrest and processing. Don’t count on a mugshot.)

The Democrats and corporate media have obviously agreed on a unified narrative that Trump is out for revenge. They can’t afford to focus on the facts, since the evidence is overwhelming that Comey lied to Congress about deliberate leaks of RussiaGate intel. The facts were so self-evident that even a DC-area jury indicted him. ...

President Trump has been loudly, publicly, and repeatedly complaining about James Comey for months, if not years. Meanwhile, Comey can’t complain, since he has acquiesced into the villain role and has been pouring fuel on the fire, taunting Trump with unhinged efforts like his too-cute pictures of shells spelling “86-47”— the very kind of thing a puppy-murdering gangster might do.

Early this morning, Trump updated the country on the nascent prosecution, and complained that Comey’s assigned judge is a Biden appointee:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or
not, and I can't imagine too many people
liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie,
it's a very simple, but IMPORTANT one.
There is no way he can explain his way out
of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has
been, but he was just assigned a Crooked
Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he's off to a
very good start. Nevertheless, words are
words, and he wasn't hedging or in dispute.
He was very positive, there was no doubt in
his mind about what he said, or meant by
saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of
error on a big and important answer to a
question. He just got unexpectedly caught.
James "Dirty Cop" Comey was a destroyer
of lives. He knew exactly what he was
saying, and that it was a very serious and
far reaching lie for which a very big price
must be paid! President DJT

We’ll see. The worst thing that District Judge Michael Nachmanoff could do is give Comey preferential treatment. Since Comey’s is the very first Trump prosecution, it will get massive attention. Nachmanoff would be well advised to play it as straight as he possibly can.

The DOJ’s strategy seems spotless. They indicted Comey with the easiest crime to prove and prosecute. Perjury is even easier to prove than tax evasion, which put Al Capone away. Recall that Republicans finally put away the otherwise untouchable Soviet Spy and State Department darling Alger Hiss for lying to a federal grand jury.

Regardless what happens here, Comey remains on the hook for other, more complicated crimes. If this prosecution fails, the DOJ can conceivably try, try again.

Trump and the DOJ have delivered on their campaign promise to prosecute Comey. Now it’s up to the courts and the legal system. Just like Trump, Comey will get his day in court. Just like Trump, Comey must now endure the process, which the old saw tells us is the real punishment anyway.

Double jeopardy doesn't apply when the crimes are multiple and distinct. The gift that keeps on giving - corruption.

"Hey. Would you like to become our arm's length criminal puppet at the FBI?" Comey (who is a Communist): "Yeah, that sounds like a great gig!"

I would hopium that a lot of Bondi's apparent lethargy was in preparing the ground for this and future attractions behind the scenes. Woo knows?

"We have here a sealed indictment with your name on it. Would you like to start cooperating, or should we open it now?"

Mr. Comey’s indictment is probably just the opening salvo in what will be a barrage of indictments coming down against government officials who used their powers-under-law to harass, disable, cancel, dis-bar, bankrupt, persecute and ruin thousands of their fellow citizens, including especially the 45th president and the people who worked for him.

Jim Comey was the engine who pulled the choo-choo train of seditious fakery known as RussiaGate (Donald Trump colluding with Vladimir Putin) into America’s public life, which then expanded into the years-long ass-covering operations of the Mueller Investigation, then Impeachments One and Two, then the J-6 FBI-engineered “insurrection,” then Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional J-6 committee gong show, and then the four various fugazi prosecutions against Mr. Trump in 2024 designed to derail his re-run for office, bankrupt his family, and stuff him in prison for the rest of his life.

Mr. Comey and his associates must be astounded that none of that worked. It really was a mighty organized criminal endeavor. And, as such, it stands to be prosecutable under the RICO statutes, which means that these current two charges against Mr. Comey should be a preview of attractions to come against him and many other familiar characters, possibly including his successor as FBI Director Christopher Wray. (The Blaze reports overnight that the FBI deployed roughly 275 plainclothes agents into the J-6 protest crowd at the US Capitol, as opposed to the 26 agents that Mr. Wray testified about to Congress.)

The smuggery of this gang in the years since all this business started in 2016 has also been out of this world. Mr. Comey dropped one rancid video after another either making threats or sanctimoniously declaring his sainthood, as if he expected the dreadful day would never come that he might face charges. Likewise, former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe ran his mouth all over CNN for years, former CIA Director John Brennan spun fibs on MSNBC, while FBI RussiaGate straw-boss Peter Strzok rode shotgun regularly with fake news confabulator Rachel Maddow. All of it was designed to bamboozle the public, and it worked!

You can expect more than one RICO case to come because these crimes against our country occurred in many discrete episodes of organized misconduct over many years. The RussiaGate op involving Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Hillary, Obama, Biden, et al., was quite separate from Adam Schiff’s orchestrated seditious Impeachment #1 featuring CIA mole Eric Ciaramella, Col. Alexander Vindman, and ICIG Michael Atkinson. As was the activity of the Mueller group actually supervised by Andrew Weissmann (because Robert Mueller was secretly non compos mentis). As were the J-6 shenanigans of Mr. Wray’s FBI, including the DNC Pipe Bomb sideshow. As were the Lawfare exploits of Norm Eisen and Mary McCord conniving with “Joe Biden’s” White House to arrange the Trump prosecutions by DA Alvin Bragg and AG Letitia James in New York and DA Fani Willis in Fulton County, GA. As were the dark deeds of Merrick Garland and his Special Counsels Jake Smith, David Weiss, and Robert Hur. As were the 2020 and 2022 election-rigging capers of Marc Elias & Company. As were whatever peculiar directives were ordered by Alejandro Mayorkas to throw the US borders wide open. As were the “autopen” abuse by the White House staff and their cover-up of “Joe Biden’s” mental decline.

All of these vile pranks would have to be prosecuted in separate packets of cases. You might think it’s just too much for this Department of Justice, and that the three remaining years of Trump 2.0 are not enough time for so much action. But they represent extremely serious breaches of official duty verging on treason. There are probably aspects of it all and additional characters involved whom I have left out. They have gravely injured our country and turned us against each other. Their prosecutions will be heavy lifting, but it has to be done.

@ceffer is definitely upping his game here (I'm excepting the BF woo shit).

I remember reading that Epstein had donated money to https://www.interlochen.org/

I was there myself for a week in high school. It's probably the top music camp in the country, so thousands of students go through there every year.

But it is very interesting if Epstein and Obama were there at the same time.



He didn't say the other people were there at the same time or knew each other.

Serendipity, coincidence, or design?

I never get my hopes up with this kind of thing. It always winds up being handled by some deep state types who dismiss the charges for their partners in crime.

Patrick says

Nachmanoff would be well advised to play it as straight as he possibly can.

He got where is by following orders for promotional advantage. He will continue to follow orders no matter the personal reflection on his own lawlessness or lack of ethics. I wouldn't presume there is either a moral or self interest boundary that he will be free to pursue.

I think that is a pretty good presumption for the Federal courts in DC in general. They are fatted installations drunk with their own power, status, or emoluments. They are Deep State plumbing.

stereotomy says

The subject comes up regularly about these 'coincidences'. Bill Barr's father was (employed the wayward Epstein at Dalton School):


Bill Barr was reputed to be the youngest recruited CIA agent at 17 years old. However, the various dynastic families in Intel groom the children from youth, like Obama.




Satanic Ritual Abuse, homosexual conditioning in the yutes, and the Intelligence agencies go together like a horse and carriage. Many of these 'elite' private schools have this character, though probably not for all of the students, just those who are bloodline or selected for various kinds of perverted advancement aka Epstein himself or Bill Barr or Homo Obama.

Obama was a gay hustler trading sex for cocaine when he was at Occidental. Many 'middle aged men', it seems, and they could have been in the ranks of the political and powerful.

Obama's 'family', the Dunhams, were multiple generation CIA. Obama was planned out for the Manchurian hustle from birth.

From Preface of "Space Relations"

Freemason auto-fellatio?

Well, we're back in 'HopiumLand' again: that there is a method to the madness, and justice will prevail, and not just another 'Get Out Of Jail' free card for the elites. What's your vote? It's like the Great Durham carrot dangling and disappointment again?

Dunno. It smells like the Durham distraction again so far. All of Biden's autopen pardons were supposed to elicit testimony from the guilty because they couldn't claim the Fifth. That went nowhere fast.

Also, the treason level indictments are supposed to shift over to military tribunals, not the Swamp Courts.

Absolute grounds for recusal and self recusal.....and yet???? Are they engaging in ritualized mockery of the people again?

Daughter AND son in law infiltrating the Guv with the frauds? Knew about the daughter, but treason must be a family tradition.

Ceffer says

Dems NEVER recuse themselves even in the most egregious conflict-of-interest situations. I'm pretty sure they work behind the scenes in order to get involved in those cases, because abusing power is what powermongers do.

I wouldn't be surprised if they justified setting up his daughter as the judge.

It's also precious the way they claim that the selections are 'randomly assigned'. Yeah, randomly assigned by the local Freemason bosses.
Karloff says

I wouldn't be surprised if they justified setting up his daughter as the judge.

When you watched the Senate hearing and when Senators like Senator Graham asked Comey questions, they wanted to know what Comey knew as far as who leaked the info.

Comey testified he did not authorize anyone in the FBI to leak the info.

Comey at least lied by omission or deceived the Senate as Comey "authorized himself" to leak that info to his friend, who then leaked it to the media.

Comey will get an OJ jury (i.e., jury nullification) in a federal court in the Washington DC metro area.

The very worst that would happen to Comey is that he gets Epsteined. You know a fake staged death and then he's off relaxing on a beach somewhere. Remember "Nobody's above the Law".

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-agent-relieved-duty-over-refusing-comey-perp-walk-four-people-familiar-say-2025-10-03/

Looks like a protege of McCabe and Strozk. How much of the DOJ and FBI are compromised with Democrat loyalists ? As much as the federal court system ?

Nothing is said about security measures for Comey, if he turned State's evidence in some kind of plea. If he did, he would require a LOT of security.

I remember all those Law & Order shows where the police and DA reassured witnesses that 'We can protect you' only to see the witness killed by the end of the episode. It was almost a staple and I used to laugh every time the cops said 'We can protect you' because the witness may as well have had 'dead meat' printed on their forehead.

Muh Rank and File!

Pundits were using Comey's gentle treatment as an indication he was singing like a canary.

After all, all of Trump's wingmen were rousted in the wee hours and frog marched with the most humiliating arrest publicity possible.

Comey broke tradition and demanded a speedy trial —his constitutional right— and his judge speedily set trial for January 5th. It’s a bold and unusual move that pressures both the DOJ’s and his own lawyers.

Nearly every criminal defendant (99%+) waives their right to a speedy trial. On balance, I think it was a good move, but it also means less time for Comey to try to dismiss the case (he’s mentioned scads of reasons) or to try to disqualify the prosecutor, Lindsay Halligan. There’s only so much his lawyers can do at one time, and they must also now prepare for his trial during the worst time of year: the holidays.

I didn't know that defendants could waive their right to a speedy trial. Is there some legal definition of speedy?
