Was it for the 86 thing?
False statements under oath to Congress. It's a weak case.
The case is weak because Comey's deputy Andrew McCabe testified under oath that he (McCabe) decided to leak, and only told Comey about it afterwards. This shit, both Comey's statements and McCabe's, are all on the public record. It's not hard to run down, unless you live in Fox News cuckoo land.
And notably none of those statements contradict each other like they're trying to claim.
They're trying to say Comey lied about authorizing the leak, but McCabe already admitted that he did that. Comey knew about the leak after the fact and they both testified as such.
Any real prosecutor wouldn't bother spending a second on this. But this has no basis in reality its weaponizing the DOJ for political reasons, which Trump already admitted he was going to do, publicly telling the DOJ to do so.
Yep. McCabe and Comey corroborate each other, and there's nothing else on the public record to contradict.
It's why the first DA for Northern Virginia got fired. They wouldn't indict Comey on this bullshit.
And the new US attorney has a background in insurance law, this is her first felony prosecution ever, and she presented the case to the grand jury herself.
She might just be way out of her depth here and in for a rude awakening. Comey is bringing some pretty high powered legal representation.
For reference, PERSON 1 is Hillary Clinton, and the "FBI investigation" was the buttery males shit.
It was also super important to get this indictment done this week, because on September 30, 2025, the 5 year statute of limitations would have run out.
For lying in testimony he gave to Congress.
