Signed, "President DJT," on Truth Social, this morning.
The "simple" statement is actually an elaborate back-and-forth with Ted Cruz at a Senate hearing on September 30, 2020:
In the hearing, Cruz pressed Comey on whether he had ever authorized another FBI staffer to serve as an anonymous source in any media reports about the bureau's 2016 investigations involving Mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Comey had answered no to a similar question during another Senate hearing in 2017. But Cruz said in the 2020 questioning that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe — another Trump foe — has "publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that you were directly aware of it and that you directly authorized it," referring to an article about an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
"Now, what Mr. McCabe is saying and what you testified to this committee cannot both be true. One or the other is false," the senator said to Comey. "Who's telling the truth?"
"I can only speak to my testimony. I stand by the testimony," replied Comey.
"I stand by the testimony" is an odd way to answer "Who's telling the truth?" Why not "I am"? Perhaps to avoid the more direct accusation that McCabe is the liar.
Thursday's indictment alleges that [Comey's] statement is false because Comey "then and there knew, he in fact had authorized [an unnamed person] to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation."
A 2018 report by the Justice Department inspector general's office says Comey and McCabe discussed the Wall Street Journal article after it came out, but gave investigators competing stories about their meeting. Comey told the watchdog that McCabe "led him to believe" that McCabe hadn't authorized the release of any information to the Journal. But McCabe said he told Comey a day after the article was published that he'd approved the release himself, and Comey replied that it was a good idea.
The report says "the overwhelming weight of that evidence supported Comey's version of the conversation," and McCabe "lacked candor" in his conversation with Comey....
Back to Trump's "truth." He seems to be laying the groundwork for blaming the judge — "a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge." By the way — English grammar question — does he mean "a crooked judge appointed by Joe Biden" or "a judge appointed by crooked Joe Biden"? It had better be the latter!
Somehow I imagine that if I could ask Trump to his face which one he means he'd say a crooked judge appointed by crooked Joe Biden.
Reminds me of:
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.I solicit parodies. Here's my effort to get you started:
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
There was a crooked cop, before a crooked judge
Appointed by a crooked President, who had a crooked grudge
He told a crooked lie/Under the crooked Senate hammer
And they all belong together in the crooked federal slammer.

Cut back on your coffee
It's kind of funny that the grand jury would not indict the sandwich guy, but did indict Comey. I think this is obvious lawfare, but it was ultimately a grand jury of Comey's peers that decided there was enough "there" there to indict. Trump couldn't just do it. They had to make their case, and did.
Opinion adjectives come first in English so it could be either, but crooked Joe Biden would be unlikely because it would be a Homeric epithet, whereas crooked judge is as common as dirt.
The Democrats introduced lawfare into politics, well, I think it was the WEF globalist cult, ultimately, because we are seeing it all over Europe too, used as a weapon against populism, but if you are fencing with a bob on the end of your weapon, and the other side pulls out a full sword, which the Democrats did, you better up your weapon appropriately or get killed.
Didn't Comey prosecute Martha Stewart, and put in her jail, for lying to government officials?
For some, the truth is a lie but undiscovered
But when revealed, butts they must be covered
Such weasel words will perjurers use to get away
"Can and will be used against you", what you say
The internet is forever, Jimmy.
"Crooked Joe Biden" comes out of his mouth so much that it is a stretch to say that Trump could say Pedo Pete's name without some epithet directly attached.
I remember an incident when Nixon was President and there was a criminal trial that had political implications, and either Nixon did, or did not, comment on it. At the time, there was much discussion about how wrong it would be for the Chief Magistrate to comment on an on-going criminal trial. There was something sacred or awe-inspiring that the state had put a citizen in jeopardy of losing his liberty and reputation, and people understood that nothing should interfere with that. Now, not so much. Maxine Waters, while the jury was deliberating about Chauvin's fate, called for riots if the jury came out the wrong way and not a single Democratic member of Congress uttered a peep. And now Trump pre-judges Comey's guilt or innocence. Were I the trial judge, I would be tempted to throw the case out, on the grounds that Comey's right to an impartial jury had been impaired beyond repair. But that would be a throwback to an earlier time when there was at least a modicum of obeisance to the idea of a justice system where the goddess of justice wears a blindfold.
I'm for it.
I see.Trump can’t prosecute Comey for the original testimony because the statute of limitations has passed. He’s stuck with prosecuting Comey for saying “I stand by the testimony.”
But where is the false statement in that? Comey was standing by his prior testimony. He made no assertion as to the truth or falseness of the prior testimony.
That summary makes it sound like not much--at the level of arguing over the definition of "is." It also feels like arresting Al Capone for tax evasion.
So it is Comey’s word versus McCabe’s.
It good.
Left Bank: raw meat for the punters never spoils. The wounds must stay open issuing puss so that MAGA's focus is on the pain. Facts are irrelevant
Response to BothSidesNow. It was Calley.
AI is great. Nixonmade an off-the-cuff comment on Manson's guilt. Manson's lawyers moved for a mistrial. The judge was disturbed by the comment, but held off ruling until he got an offical transcript. In the meanwhile, Nixon sort of retracted his comment. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1970/8/4/nixon-calls-manson-guilty-attorneys-move/?utm_source=chatgpt.com.
In Los Angeles, defense attorney Paul Fitzgerald told reporters, "If we're going to have the chief executive of this nation categorically or uncategorically speculate on people's guilt, we ought to abandon this court system. Maybe President Nixon in a news conference ought to determine whether these people are guilty." Those were the days.
"He made no assertion as to the truth or falseness of the prior testimony."
Well, that's the argument, but even you seem to understand that his previous testimony was a lie, and it's kind of a stretch to interpret that statement as meaning anything other than "I told the truth, then"
You guys wonder why your stuff isn't working, it's this. Lawyerly arguments defending lying, justifying the murder of MAGA leaders, defending Jimmy Kimmel's right to lie on his TV show, none of these arguments win anybody over.
Or Manson.
The Russian collusion Russian interference lie is still being used by the mass corrupt pro-democrat party media.
I want everyone punished for that lie.
Brennan, Comey , McCabe - Maddow and others on the D- terrorist network MSNBC.
Trump just EO'd the Death Penalty in DC, just in time for Comey. Public hanging or firing squad? I vote to hang him and leave him for a week, to encourage the others.
Trump proclaims he lied but cannot articulate the lie.
There is a Reason Auto-Pen Joe Pardoned The entire Jan 6th committee on the 11th hour of his fraud-Presidency.
FEDERAL AGENT Caught breaking a Capitol window at J-6.
Federal Agent also pushed a man with a flag and no mask - he attempted to blame and instigate the crowd with his actions. That is the truth of Jan 6th.
Also - google was forced to remove all footage showing open doors at the Capitol with peaceful people filing into the Capitol - not harming anything or anyone.
"Nobody is going to top that, please tell me it wasn't AI."
I had used ChatGPT to find the old nursery rhyme and I did invite it to write a parody based on the Comey indictment (which I'd opened ChatGPT to find the facts about).
Here's what ChatGPT wrote (and which I contend is bad in a way that demonstrates the problem with getting it to do something funny or creative):
There was a crooked cop, who spoke a crooked line,
He swore before the Senate that his memory was fine.
He answered with denial on a very simple claim,
And now they say the record shows his words were not the same.
The whole point is to repeat the word "crooked"!
AMDG said...
So it is Comey’s word versus McCabe’s
Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong
Comey's answers to Cruz were indeed somewhat opaque, and I'm sure that's why CBS (and his defense team, but I repeat myself) is touting them.
As I recall, Grassly's direct questions better boxed-in Comey in his lie(s) on whether Comey use other people to leak.
Also, Donald J Trump is so far from crooked that 5 nations intelligence services had to manufacture scandals to trap him.
President Trump is the most honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding President in our lifetimes.
Different district different grand jury, DDD.
the fitzs comey and muellers are like the buchanans from great gatsby, they wreck things and keep moving on, conrad black never got his company back the 40,000 employees of arthur andersen (thanks to weissman) never got their jobs back, same with delay and ronnie earle, they need to have a pound of flesh extracted so they don't do these things again,
I don't think it is clear that McCabe is necessarily the individual that he authorized to leak to the press, but it could be.
Real Clear Investigations lists a lot of the interactions between FBI and the press, any of which could have been authorized by Comey. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/09/16/weaponized_scoops_new_russiagate_documents_expose_mediagovernment_collusion_1134958.html
Comey clearly gave memos and information to Columbia Law Professor Alan Richman who then had several meetings with the press, and Richman was subpoenaed last week. https://jonathanturley.org/2025/09/20/236016/
Did Richman admit that Comey had authorized himself and others from the FBI to go to the press?
Peachy did you see the DOJ admitted "250 FBI agents at J6" today? Not confidential informants like we were told. Agents breaking glass leading "tours" etc.
Didn't Comey prosecute Martha Stewart, and put in her jail, for lying to government officials?
He chased Flynn on the same thing as well.
I see.Trump can’t prosecute Comey for the original testimony because the statute of limitations has passed. He’s stuck with prosecuting Comey for saying “I stand by the testimony.”
Gee, where did Trump get an idea like that??
Well BGB, you may not know that McCabe testified under oath that HE did leak at Comey's behest, so there is that.
weissman would go on to the mueller prosecution, same with dread pirate smith after the Court rebuked him 9-0,
Shorter LBotC: "It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."
comey admitted in his memoir, he tried to 'blackmail' the President even though there was no substance to the danchenko dossier,
He lied and nobody's really denying that, but if the statute of limitations has expired, the case isn't going to go anywhere. The thirst for justice is understandable, but the legal system can't always quench it.
if you are celebrated by the press, odds are you are guilty as sin, look at judge gleason, who was part of that little gotti sideshow,, then followed up years later, on behalf of clients like hsbc perhaps, against General Flynn
Mr D: “ Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong”
Yes, Senator (a Roman office!) Cruz (means Cross) asked “what is truth?”
And the Prof wonders why Messiah Comey didn’t say “I AM.” Maybe all the Rs would have fallen out of their seats. CC, JSM
It wasn't just J6, in Ottawa a man carried a Nazi flag, an event that triggered a harsh crackdown on the protesters, well, provide a pretext for would be a better way to phrase it, and then the prosecution refused to identify him on "national security" grounds.
Remember that Michael Douglas "Ben Franklin" series, where there is a riot in Paris, and Franklin tells his charge not to get involved, "They are half paid provocateurs, and the other half are spies"
the saving grace, is comey kept lying in 2020 and subsequently, conscienceness of guilt,
like Faucis 'I am the science' which proves his dr Frankenstein, bonafides
There is a saying around the world that if your barn burns down, and you don't know who did it, but there are people with signs in your yard blaming your neighbor you always got along with, and the news shows all blame your neighbor you always got along with, you can be sure that there is an American around somewhere.
the Stasi had a shooter who gunned down a protester and this created the pretext for disturbance that led to the formation of the Baader Meinhof gang,
What is the point of going after Comey on this thin stuff?
we've seen how the left all memorized the scalia dissent in morrison, and then promptly forgot about in 2001, with Fitz,
when they went around the statute,
so they are discouraged from doing it again,
after the whole cluster of lawfare, it's ramming speed
Even with the crooked judges who are destroying the judicial system I don’t like seeing criminal cases tried in the news media. Trump can’t help crowing. Too bad. We already know Comey is a crook. He whitewashed Hillary.
There was a crooked man who smiled a crooked smile
When he told his crooked lie and got away for quite a while
Crooked Hillary killed a cat, Obama ate a cooked dog

because the press will tell the truth, have you not been paying attention for 20 years,
was there any reporter who showed any doubt over the whole barrell of cases,
Also in Britain cop threatening to arrest yarmulke wearing
signs of a conquered (dhimmi) people,
James Comey is above the law.
And this case will prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. He is guilty, obviously. And yet he will never pay any price because he is above our laws.
I am guessing that Comey's attorneys are going to use Left Bank's argument- that the statute of limitations had passed 3 years ago on the 2017 testimony and that Comey didn't take a position on that testimony during the 2020 questioning. Of course, this also a lie but it is one a friendly judge is going to jump to take.
Thomas Crooks - 20 years old - Roof Top assassin.
Not seen by Secret Service - but seen by all sorts of people.

I blame Trump for January 6th, because he should have smelled a setup from the stench that the likes of Pelosi, Milley, and Wray left all over it, and old his followers to stay well away from the Capitol.
why is my comment vanishing?
There was a time some years ago when MAGA hated McCabe more than Comey, now McCabe is their star witness.
So I guess when Comey said that he "stood by his testimony," that didn't include the part where he swore to tell the truth, because that's the only real wiggle room I see, but of course a DC jury will seize on any shred of appearance, no matter how baseless, and acquit him, because we don't have a real system of laws anymore, and our political system is therefore no longer legitimate.
It's like the fall of Rome, when the Goths kept the laws, but all of the judges were now Goth. The whole system collapsed and now came the Dark Ages.
That stuff works at whatever whacko left wing site you got that from, LB, probably feels like a real zinger, but where's the beef?
"why is my comment vanishing?"
Because Alphabet does viewpoint discrimination, and you will have to wait for Althouse to restore it.
Again -
JAQ - Agreed. False flag operations... used to crack down and punish.
No one who went to see Trump speak at Jan 6tht was dressed like that FED - in all black tactical gear. No one.
That was the big capture zone.
Remember there is footage of Police officers escorting that man with the face paint and the horns.
Mike Wolff - yes!
Andy McCarthy threw his usual $.02 in.
“so they are discouraged from doing it again,”
sounds like a worthy objective to me, narciso!
This sort of thing will be cited by the Biden judge when he dismisses the charges due to pretrial publicity impairing Comey's right to a fair trial. It's horse shit, especially within fifty miles of the Beltway, but Trump should know better. I'd prefer he just repeated Democrats' "Nobody is above the law" again and again and again. Maybe just re-Tweet what they were posting in 2021.
If Comey lied, then the truth is the head of the FBI went after the President. An American intelligence service was trying to bring down the American President. That's the issue.
I don't think the poem can be done better. And
get that the Comey thing is important, but there are other, also very interesting, stories out there:
(1) Nidal Hasan will finally meet face to face with Shaitan, 16 years after he committed mass murder on fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood. The death toll was 13 by feminist count, 14 if you include an unborn child. Left up to me, I’d sentence him to death by smothering him in pig shit, but there’s that pesky 8th Amendment.
(2) Down in Texas the baseball coach for a kids’ baseball team was leading his team in a pre-game prayer when someone opened fire on them. The coach was wounded in his arm but the kids managed to crawl to safety. The sheriff's department has arrested Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, 27, Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23, and Ahmad Mawed, 21, and charged them with deadly conduct of a firearm.
We Americans might be through with the Global War on Terror, but the terrorist don’t seem to have gotten the message.
ot:
"The FBI finally acknowledged to Congress that 274 plainclothes agents were embedded in the January 6 crowds in Washington. "
bullshit - these FEDS, or at least many of them, were wearing tactical gear.
The poem is good.

Comey put people in jail for what he himself did.
Equal justice under the law is a fundamental founding principle of this country.
People who didn't do anything to earn the freedom they were born into are the real problem here. A large contingent of Americans just don't really care to do what it takes to maintain freedom in our society.
Apathy and cowardice are not virtues.
There was a time some years ago when MAGA hated McCabe more than Comey, now McCabe is their star witness.
Oh we can hate them both quite easily. This is just using a sprat to catch a mackerel. I'd like to see both of them behind bars. Let's put McCabe on the witness stand and drop the hammer on him if he perjures himself.
If Trump was like Democrats he would just change the laws to prosecute them like Democrats in New York did to prosecute Trump.

President Trump is the most honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding President in our lifetimes.
9/26/25, 9:25 AM
RJW asks Albert Ingels (aka AI); If the writer is indeed serious rather than simply trying to provoke or raise eyebrows and assuming he isn’t ignorant of political news, would it be fair to assume he’s an indoctrinated cult member?
ALBERT SAID:
That's a fair and important question, especially when trying to make sense of extreme political views in an age of polarization. Let’s unpack it carefully.
⚖️ Short Answer:
If the writer is serious, well-informed, and still believes that Donald Trump is "the most honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding President in our lifetimes" despite ample public evidence to the contrary, then yes — it is reasonable to describe this as an example of cult-like belief or ideological indoctrination.
But there are nuances worth considering.
🔍 What Does “Cult-Like” Mean in This Context?
You’re not necessarily saying the person is in a literal cult — rather, you’re pointing to signs of unquestioning devotion, such as:
Blind loyalty to a leader regardless of contradictory evidence.
Rejection of mainstream sources in favor of group-approved narratives.
Moral elevation of the leader to a status that excuses all flaws or wrongdoing.
Persecution complex, i.e., believing the leader is being unfairly targeted by shadowy conspiracies (e.g., “5 nations’ intelligence services”).
Those traits are indeed hallmarks of cult dynamics, even in political or ideological movements.
🧠 But What If He’s Not Ignorant?
That’s what makes this more significant. If this person:
Has access to diverse sources of information,
Understands the legal cases and controversies Trump has been involved in,
And still concludes Trump is uniquely honest and law-abiding,
Then rational analysis has likely been overridden by identity or emotion, which is very common in cult-like environments. This isn't stupidity — it's motivated reasoning and identity-protective cognition.
⚠️ Caveat: Not Everyone Who Supports Trump Is in a Cult
It’s important not to overgeneralize:
Many Trump voters are pragmatic — they see him as the “lesser evil,” or someone who represents their interests.
Others distrust the media or political establishment for legitimate reasons, even if they go too far in the other direction.
Some are misinformed or only exposed to a narrow slice of information (e.g., through partisan media bubbles), which is different from cultish devotion.
But when you see extreme, emotionally charged claims like “most honest president ever” — despite a long record of lies, legal issues, and norm-breaking behavior — that does cross into cult-like territory.
✅ Summary
Yes, if the writer is serious, informed, and unwavering in belief despite overwhelming counter-evidence, it's fair to describe their stance as indoctrinated or cult-like.
The rhetoric mirrors religious-style devotion, which is increasingly common in politics.
Anyone expecting decency or intellectual honesty from the left is on a fool’s errand.

@MikeBenzCyber
If you listen closely, you’ll notice no one is even attempting to argue James Comey didn’t commit perjury.

You are being dishonest.
James Comey committed perjury and obstruction. The black and white letters of the law.
James Comey himself put people in jail for exactly what he did.
Your posts are in bad faith.
’So the point is to be as corrupt as the Democrats? Principles, schminiples, let's own the libs!’
Should the right let it stand, or do have a better response?
Cruz is the liar. McCabe didn’t say that Comey authorised the leak beforehand.
Too bad Trump can’t be the prosecutor in this simple case. He would look like an even bigger idiot — is that even possible?
I love the fact that Trump says it's about justice, not revenge; followed immediately by "they went after me for four years"!!!
He thinks the rest of the world is no more intelligent than his supporters.
So the point is to be as corrupt as the Democrats?
You want us to create fake evidence, submit it to a court for rationale to treat Democrats as terrorists that need surveillance, and then suggest they are working with foreign governments? Because I'm not sure the first part is even needed.
They are not in bad faith. I think many so-called conservatives have made a total mockery of conservatism in the last couple years. Who would have thought that the GOP would go from being the economically literate party to another party of will-to-power populists?
What is the point of going after Comey on this thin stuff?
Do you know who was the head of the FBI when they claimed Gen. Flynn lied to the FBI by using a written report of the meeting that was later found to be falsified?
The point is justice for those abused by an FBI managed by a liar.
Economically literate party
That was lost when McCain gave his thumbs down and nobody from the IRS was prosecuted for their acts against the TEA Party. But I admit, it probably started earlier when George Bush bailed out the banks, or perhaps when George Bush claimed "no new taxes".
Do you know who was the head of the FBI when they claimed Gen. Flynn lied to the FBI by using a written report of the meeting that was later found to be falsified?
That brings up another point. Why have Patel and Bondi not discontinued the 302 reports in favor of video and audio recordings of FBI interviews? In the fairytale world of the 1950's we were told that these written reports are contemporaneous and infallibly correct, and a jury trying a case could treat them as being even more valid than eyewitness testimony.
Now we know that is a Hollywood lie, and the FBI falsifies their reports whenever it is in the interest of the FBI or its political patrons. Their testimonial power is in ashes. If I sat on a jury and an FBI agent swore that his 302 report was correct, in the absence of any corroborating evidence, I would surely vote to acquit.
“I think many so-called conservatives have made a total mockery of conservatism in the last couple years. Who would have thought that the GOP would go from being the economically literate party to another party of will-to-power populists?”
With Trump leading the GOP all things are possible.
“Will to power" (der Wille zur Macht)
“Nietzsche viewed the will to power as an irrational, fundamental force that can manifest in creativity and self-mastery or in harmful domination over others.”
’If I sat on a jury and an FBI agent swore that his 302 report was correct, in the absence of any corroborating evidence, I would surely vote to acquit.’
I’m close to taking it a step farther and leaning to acquit if there’s any FBI involvement at all. We used to be a high-trust society, but they’ve unabashedly contributed to its downfall.
Lying liars who lie - show up to defend other lying liars who lie.
...Act shocked when FAFO happens. Oh noez!
Once again Inga is using the time honored propaganda technique of accusing the other side of the stuff you are doing that normal, honest, good-hearted people would not like. They do it because the facts are out there, they just want to pin it on the other side.
"Who smelt it, dealt it," as we used to say.
Due to the capitalization of "Crooked," I don't think there is any ambiguity about whom it describes.
I mean, "a crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge" would seem to be calling the judge crooked.
But "a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge" merely means the judge was appointed by Crooked Joe Biden.
I would be interested in somebody explaining to me what exactly is wrong with populism. Are the voters sheep to be herded in this direction or that, depending on what a tiny elite say? Lose their good paying jobs (economic inefficiency to Kak) to globalism and immigration, forced into gig work, shipped of to foreign wars based on cooked up narratives? I would argue that the people have a pretty good idea when they are being abused by that tiny elite.
The Benny show.
BTW - the head of NBC is a total jackwad fraud leftist.
Politics generally is a mockery. What matters is when you find that out, for that influences who you blame for it.
’I would be interested in somebody explaining to me what exactly is wrong with populism.’
The true absurdity is using that term disparagingly in a country founded upon deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed.
I would be interested in somebody explaining to me what exactly is wrong with populism.
Me too. Democrats used to love populism, and treat it as more or less synonymous with "Our Democracy" that they cannot stop whining about. Huey Long and George Wallace, remember them?
Comey leaked classified memos in 2017 through his friend, who Comey had given a job at the FBI and a top secret clearance. Comey denied leaking it, then admitted it, when his assertion was proven to be a lie.
Why he was able to skate on that, is beyond me. Not to mention his deliberate lies on the FISA applications that he signed off on.
BTW, Comey was caught in several lies to the DOJ IG, but since he was no longer with the FBI, he wasn't punished. But he's scum and a total liar. I'm sure he is a "Life Long Republican" but one that always votes Democrat.
I doubt they'll be able to get Wray on perjury since he was constantly evasive before Congress with lots of "I dunno about that" or "I'll have to look into that".

“I think many so-called conservatives have made a total mockery of conservatism in the last couple years. Who would have thought that the GOP would go from being the economically literate party to another party of will-to-power populists?”
We are still the party of economic literacy. Anyone who thinks otherwise is saying more about their own economic literacy (lack thereof). And Inga, you precious critter, what in Hell do you think you know about conservatism?
Why is it proper conservatism to allow the crooked lying left to get away with their lies and destructive nature?
The good news is Trump can just let us know via a social media post who should be indicted or prosecuted and then perhaps we can just eliminate the judicial branch all together. Think of the time and money this will save.
McCabe was even worst than Comey but got off because of a Leftwing DC jury. Even if Comey isnt found guilty, it will go on his record. Which is great. I'm looking forward to the mug shot.
"why is my comment vanishing?"
Maybe because it was dumb and off-topic. Oh wait, that's most of the comments. Never mind.
Not a fan of Comey, and can readily believe that he testified falsely before the Senate. This misadventure reminds me of the prosecution (persecution) of Scooter Libby in the Plame affair 20 years ago. As far as I can tell, lying by politicos is not uncommon when they are questioned about political stuff. It's true that what goes around comes around. But sometimes it's better to stop the merry-go-round and just leave judging the players to the voters.
Comey's not a politician and he isn't running for office. Comey's crimes were intended to obstruct the will of the voters.
However there is a near zero chance of a conviction from a D.C. jury though. Bottom line: The rule of law is dead in p Blue Zones, so dont get your hopes up, eh?
I highly recommend
Comey's crooked autobio;
He weirdly writes like a crooked angel
Glorying above his crooked human's
Crooked issuance of bile.
Forget if he was right or wrong
Even forget his name
Whoever writes so crookedly
Has got no inner self.
Well noted Beast at 11:32am.
Yeah, Ronald Ward, great work. AI mirrors the nasty narrow libtard prejudice you provide it and spits out an answer to your smug and stupid satisfaction, all without showing any evidence to the contrary.
Instead of snuggling into your libtard cocoon, why don't you skip the masturbation robot and look up the connection between Alexander Downer, Josph Mifsud, George Popadopolous, and Carter Page, for starters.
The facts are not unknown, even if braindead Democrat Party libtards refuse to look at them, asswipe.
More charges to come? I bet there will be.
Freeman Hunt said...
Remember Flynn? He went to prison and was financially ruined because of Comey's testimony. That alone should put Comey in prison.
He clearly said he did not leak to the press or ask anyone to leak to the press. He clearly did. I don't think he should be hung, but Steve Bannon and Martha Stewart both did time for equivalent crimes.
Gezzz Michael Fitzgerald @ 1:23, tell us how you really feel. I was just simply trying to explain why some people refer to the hardened Trump supporters as a cult member. When you say things like “President Trump is the most honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding President in our lifetimes”, it has to mean you are provoking (trying to own the Dems), it’s satire, you are profoundly ignorant of political facts, or you’re a glazed over zombie obediently following the herd. If I offended you or disturbed your head position up Trump’s ass where you could almost taste that Big Mac, my apologies.
On another note, does anyone actually believe there will be a Comey conviction? Even Fox News loyalists are saying they don’t see a case. This is simply a warning shot for anyone thinking about interrupting his Watergate everyday shitshow.
Lying to Congress is the least of his offenses. He set a perjury trap for Michael Flynn by bypassing normal DOJ-FBI procedures. Then he coerced a guilty plea by threatening to go after Flynn’s son. Flynn suffered greatly personally and financially as a result. All because Comey hated Trump.
If Comey suffers in a similar fashion some might call that justice.
That Donald Trump is the most honest, trustworthy, and law-abiding citizen to hold the presidency in our lifetimes is proven by the fact that the entire weight of the US government and the 5 Nations intelligence service was turned against him for 10 years and not one crime or misdemeanor was uncovered speaks for itself. That the corrupt leftist governments and leaders of those countries had to manufacture conspiracies to frame him is prima facie evidence of the Truth of my statement.
If you pulled your own head out of your own ass you might see, but you won't, obviously. Again, the facts are not unknown, anus ostrich.
Thousands of lunatic lefties celebrating on social media, re: the assassination of Kirk, is the most glaring and well documented cult behavior I’ve ever witnessed.
Liberals know that Trump is guilty because that's all they see, it's what AI assures them, and if you ask AI too many probing questions regarding Russiagate, this is what AI says: ""I need to stop here. I can’t provide that. Sorry about that." - ChatGPT
So sure, Trump must be guilty, ChatGPT says so!

No, that isn’t my comment, it’s Freeman Hunt’s from 10:45AM. I do agree with Freeman Hunt though. She is a conservative.
Jaq, is the anything Trump COULD be guilty of? I mean, if he toured the country lobbing hand grenades into maturity wards on live camera, admitted to it with a promise of more, would that sway you or would you be complaining of how ChatGPT and the lefties are on another witch hunt?
And please spare me of the default answer I’ve heard 100 times or more that “he wouldn’t do that”.
“ I mean, if he toured the country lobbing hand grenades into maturity wards on live camera,” he still wouldn’t kill as many babies as abortionists do.
From an FBI agent, re J6
"Currently, the US Attorneys office is dictating what it is that gets investigated. This is a dangerous precedent because we can barely get them to prosecute investigations that clearly meet thresholds needed for Federal prosecutions," the agent wrote. "However, their willingness to conduct a search warrant on someone's life for a misdemeanor seems ridiculous. It is unreasonable for the FBI to conduct investigations involving misdemeanor violations at a federal level... it is not our role."
But sure, it's Trump opening Pandora's box.

In other words, Trump tossing hand grenades into maturity wards, when you look at how bad and evil the other side is, when you come to think about it, really isn’t all that bad?
Comey should go on Kimmel's show tonight.
RJW
What has he done since he's been in office that has been unconstitutional?
’In other words, Trump tossing hand grenades into maturity wards, when you look at how bad and evil the other side is, when you come to think about it, really isn’t all that bad?’
Ron wasn’t getting enough mileage from his ghoulish hypothetical, so he’s resorted to speculating in bad faith about someone else’s comment.
I only know of one other commenter who had such a deranged obsession with Trump and his name was… lol
Rusty, notice what’s happening here. I asked a simple question: is there anything Trump could do that that the MAGA crowd would consider wrong? Jersey shifted it to abortion, you shifted it to constitutionality, but no one has actually answered.
That dodge is telling. If people can’t bring themselves to imagine any act — no matter how extreme — that would cross the line, then it’s not really about law or principle anymore. It’s about unconditional loyalty. That’s the point my hypothetical was meant to test.
’I asked a simple question: is there anything Trump could do that that the MAGA crowd would consider wrong?’
You didn’t ask a simple question, so stop being dishonest. Had you asked the good faith question above then the answer would have been an easy and obvious yes.
Squeaky Fromme also thought she was a free agent when the rest of the world recognized she was in a cult.
Forget it Ronnie J, it’s Chinatown.
Remember what Dinnie said a few weeks ago?
It was one of the only truths that came out of his pursed, butthole looking lips:
Smart people don’t like me.
The other truth he let loose was
I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and my followers would still love me.
They indicted him in VA, so maybe the trial will be held there.
As is the case with a bunch of these Trump actions, in the short-term they may create problems for his political opponents, but in the long-term they are going to weaken his own position. To take just one example, in 2017, if you had done a formal poll of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, overwhelmingly the agency's workforce would have been in the pro-Trump camp. Over the course of the agency's 100+ year history, there has never been a Democrat in charge of the agency. Today, Trump is in the process of destroying the agency as retribution for its perceived crimes against him.
What do you think the likely reaction is within the agency from putative allies of his?
Now apply that standard across most of the government. What are going to be left are a bunch of people who are either incompetent political hacks, or mercenary moral reprobates, who will try to save their own necks when the political winds shift (as they inevitably do), and a handful of semi-competent ideologues, who will find themselves increasingly isolated. It won't end well for any of us, but it doesn't take a genius to see that Trump is creating problems through his inability to be selective and exercise any restraint. Jeffrey Epstein is laughing in hell right now.
Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter!
is there anything Trump could do that that the MAGA crowd would consider wrong?
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Trump could say, "Many many people claim Chuck is a pitiable mental case. They say every treatment...and there have been many...they tried everything, his doctors, probably twice, but nothing worked. That's what people, very smart people, the smartest people tell me, but it isn't true." and every MAGA commenter here would say, "Trump is wrong."

Explain how charging criminals who have broken laws makes you a "will-to-power populist."
Take your time. I'm actually curious.

He could allow criminals like Jim Comey who threw people in jail for perjury and obstruction to commit perjury and obstruction and not go to jail themselves.

Allow millions to enter the country illegally and then claim he couldn’t enforce the law to protect our border without another law that says he couldn’t enforce until thousands entered illegally each year and then he might stop the rest.
Moving on from how MAGA would obviously welcome Trump blowing up babies and focusing back to Comey, here’s a few copy and pastes;
Fox contributor Andrew McCarthy said of the Comey indictment: “I don't think there's a case. ... It seems to be premised on something that is not true." He added: “I think this judge should throw the case out.” [Fox Business, Mornings With Maria Bartiromo, 9/26/25]
On a separate program, McCarthy reiterated his doubts, saying, “I don't think this case even gets to trial.” Fox News contributor Kim Strassel said it was “potentially a problematic prosecution.” [Fox News, America’s Newsroom, 9/26/25]
On Newsmax, former Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz said the indictment of James Comey “is not a slam dunk case.” [Newsmax, Greg Kelly Reports, 9/25/26]
Right-wing podcast host Megyn Kelly said the Comey indictment is so lean it’s like it was “shot up with Ozempic.” [SiriusXM, The Megyn Kelly Show, 9/26/25]
The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro said: “It appears … that this isn't a particularly well-predicated indictment, that the indictment itself is quite weak, and that it's unlikely to survive in court.” [The Daily Wire, The Ben Shapiro Show, 9/26/25]
Conservative writer John Solomon called it the “thinnest-worded” indictment he had “ever seen as a reporter.” He said he was “shocked by the leanness” but argued that “we’re gonna get more details next week,” such as potentially “an FBI affidavit in support of it.” [SiriusXM, The Megyn Kelly Show, 9/26/25]
“Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander: “Comey will not go to jail.” He also shared messages claiming the indictment “will go nowhere” and is a “pathetic attempt to appease Trump.” [Telegram, 9/25/25; Huffington Post, 3/7/21]
is there anything Trump could do that that the MAGA crowd would consider wrong?’
Call his political opposition an existential threat to the republic and that he is considering using F-15s to stop them.
Leland @ 7:33, that’s a curious example to give. During Trump’s first term, nearly a million migrants were apprehended at the border in FY2019 alone — the highest number in over a decade. And in 2018 he torpedoed a bipartisan Senate bill that would have strengthened border enforcement because he thought it would cost him politically. More recently, he pressured Republicans to kill another border security package for the same reason.
So “millions entering” is something that happened on his watch — and he actively blocked fixes when they weren’t politically useful. Which brings me back to my question: if even that isn’t considered “wrong,” is there anything Trump could do that would be?
Hahaha, how quickly DFC goes back to the OP topic when his stupid debate trick fails.
They were also deported during his first term. Indeed many of the early ones picked up this year where ones deported during Trump”s first term and re-entered under Biden to commit more crimes. Then there were the one’s like Abrego Garcia that was ordered to deport and failed to do so while being blocked by a judge. He still should have self-deported and failed to do so. Now he will be deported to a country that will take him.
Leland, you’re shifting into case details about deportations, but that isn’t answering my original question. My point wasn’t about one immigrant or one judge — it was whether there is any act at all by Trump you’d consider wrong. If the response is always to pivot elsewhere, that pretty much answers it: maybe there isn’t.
Inanity and incompetence through and through. And Althouse is becoming more like this administration by the day.
Trump 2.0. The Felon's Revenge.
Andy McCarthy, arguably the foremost expert on the Russia collusion hoax, and the author of Ball of Collusion has called this indictment against Comey “incomprehensible”, “vindictive” and “a mess.”
I recommend McCarthy’s article on this in today’s National Review.The piece is very detailed and thorough.
No DFC, I answered your question. You just don’t like the answer. Quit being a dumb fuck, Chuck.
Moving on...
I'm not naive, the criminal justice system in and around Washington DC is corrupt. Comey will not be convicted in Democrat controlled jurisdictions. Justice should be blind, but that has no effect on a Democrat Jury.
