Well, it’s about time. Actually, just in the nick of time, as it was only a matter of days until the statute-of-limitations ran out.
One can’t help but wonder if Trump’s pat on Bondi’s po-po last week helped this along. One thing that surely helped it along was the firing of Eastern Virginia District Attorney Eric Siebert, whose father-in-law is reportedly the godfather to one of James Comey’s daughters. Siebert has also been described as a “backed pawn” of the Democrat party. And his deputy evidently has ties to Obama fixer Lisa Monaco as well. (It’s all so cozy, isn’t it?) Once the impediment of this gentleman was removed, things moved rather quickly under the sure and certain hand of the new E.V.D.A. Lindsey Halligan.
As you can see from the above X post, Siebert wasn’t the only Comey-adjacent lawyer under the roof. Troy Edwards, Comey’s son-in-law, tendered his resignation at the Eastern District of Virginia District Attorney’s Office upon his father-in-law James Comey’s indictment. That should help the holidays along in Comey world.
Speaking of the indictment, it’s pretty straightforward, alleging that…Comey lied. Under oath. Without any weasel words or wiggle room. Asked by Senator Cruz at a hearing on September 30, 2020 if he’d ever acted as or facilitated leaks from the FBI he answered “no.” Asked if he’d like to revise or amend his testimony, he doubled-down and said he stood by it. For a normal person — who knows with the jury in eastern Virginia — it appears pretty slam dunk. And there is voluminous evidence in the testimonial and documentary record to prove it.
But don’t get cocky: the judge, “randomly” assigned? A Biden appointee. Oh, and it gets better — his first job? Hired by James Comey.
Via Fox News: “Comey will reportedly turn himself in on Friday and his arraignment is set for 10 a.m. on Oct. 9….”
How nice for him. No pre-dawn raids with swarms of heavily armed agents — which in this case would appear to be warranted. Alas….
You can read the actual indictment here.
We’ll let James Comey himself have the last word — for now. In the meantime, we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
