The headline over at Mediaite focusing on former FBI Director James Comey spoke volumes. It read: “James Comey Warns GOP They Will Be ‘Deeply Sorry’ About Going After Political Enemies — Vows Dems Will ‘Someday’ Turn the Tables On Them.”
The story began by reporting this: “Former FBI Director James Comey is warning Republicans that they will regret using the DOJ to target their political enemies because ‘someday’ Democrats will turn the tables on them.”
Say what? One has to ask the obvious: Where was Comey when Democrats in the Biden era were already doing exactly what he warns about? (RELATED: Five Quick Things: The Well-Deserved Disgust of the American People)
Trump has been targeted for prosecution by either the federal, Biden-era Department of Justice or state and local Democrat prosecutors so often that various media outlets have made a point of keeping track.
CNN, for example, felt compelled to headline this in January of 2025: “Donald Trump’s criminal cases, in one place.” (RELATED: Merchan Will Jail Trump Unless SCOTUS Intervenes)
The story reported:
Trump was first indicted in March 2023 by the Manhattan district attorney on state charges related to a hush-money payment to an adult-film star in 2016. On May 30, 2024 he was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree by 12 jurors. Prosecutors alleged during the trial that Trump was a part of an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election. Further, they alleged he was part of an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, including the $130,000 payment. Trump pleaded not guilty.
On November 19, 2024, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told Judge Juan Merchan it would agree to delay Trump’s sentencing, which had been set for November 26, to allow time for the anticipated litigation around the president-elect’s expected motion to dismiss the case. On November 22, Merchan indefinitely postponed the sentencing and granted Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the case. On January 3, 2025, Merchan rejected Trump’s effort to throw out the jury’s verdict because of his reelection in November and upheld the conviction. Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge on January 10.”
In short, President Trump has become the most targeted-for-prosecution president in American history. And while Comey doesn’t mention it, he himself was heading the FBI when it decided to investigate Trump for ties to Russia that influenced the 2016 election.

And, laughably, Comey’s warning that “someday” Democrats will turn the tables on Republicans completely ignores that Democrats have already spent their time in federal, state, and local prosecution offices targeting Trump.
The obvious is at hand. Democrats have long ago corrupted the American justice system to target their Number One political opponent — Donald Trump. And James Comey was fired on the day by the then-first-term president based on the advice of then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Why?
As reported in the BBC: “Comey said he had ‘no doubt’ that he was fired by Trump to ‘change’ the Russia investigation, and called his sacking a ‘very big deal.’”
Which is to say, Comey was using the FBI to target Trump over the Russian investigation and what would prove to be a bogus allegation that Trump had partnered with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
Comey is now back in the news for the bizarre “seashell” story in which the ex-FBI Director publicized a photo of seashells on a beach linked together to read “86 47”. 86, in the vernacular, standing for ending or wiping out something, thus causing the image to be interpreted by the viewing world as a call for ending Trump.

But the bottom line here is that Comey’s notion that Democrats could “someday” prosecute Republicans is years too late.
Yet the very fact that Comey would go down this road speaks volumes about the former FBI Director’s mindset when it comes to abusing a prosecutor’s position to target political opponents.
But it should be said that if and when Democrats do in fact find themselves back in charge of the U.S. Department of Justice, there is little doubt they would corrupt the DOJ as they have already done it once.
And disturbingly? Having gotten used to doing this with President Trump, it takes little imagination to see the DOJ in the hands of Democrats targeting another Republican opponent or office holder in the future simply because they now know how to do it.
And are willing — oh so willing — to do it again.
