James Comey Indicted
Former FBI Director has been indicted for giving false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
Media reports are that Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for giving false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.
— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) September 25, 2025
Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability. For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust. Every day, we continue the fight to…

From Politico:
A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, indicted Comey on Thursday on charges believed to stem from Comey’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020 about the FBI’s investigation into links between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. Prosecutors sought the indictment just before a Sept. 30 legal deadline that would have put criminal charges out of reach because the statute of limitations would have expired.
The Justice Department issued this press release:
Today, a federal grand jury has charged former FBI Director James Comey with serious crimes related to the disclosure of sensitive information.
The indictment alleges that Comey obstructed a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.
The indictment also alleges that Comey made a false statement in violation of 18 USC 1001. Comey stated that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment that statement was false.
“No one is above the law,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”
“Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust. Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on. Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose. Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account – no matter their perch. No one is above the law.”
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The Indictment reads:
The proposed Indictment originally contained three counts, but the Grand Jury did not concur on one of them.
Flashback
Flashback to when James Comey publicly bragged about using the FBI to entrap Michael Flynn into making false statements, leading to years of legal torture.
Comey has now been indicted for making false statements.

Based on @comey indictment, this appears to be the incriminating exchange from the 2020 congressional testimony with questions from @SenTedCruz

Could t happen to a nicer person
Finally
He’s not misleading lawmakers. He’s concealing a trail.
If the charge is misleading, he’ll get off.
Your comment is what is misleading.
The fun part will be the discovery…. but for Comey himself there’s at least one perjury trap waiting for him.
hodge – this is a criminal trial, not a civil trial, thus discovery as known in a civil trial doesnt exist.
There is also a discovery phase in a criminal trial.
Yes, but it’s mostly the government that has to disclose stuff to the defendant.
Expose it ALL! Time to return to justice in the legal system and could not think of anyone better to be the poster boy. Unless it’s his evil bud, Brennan.
Speaking of Brennan:
“DEVELOPING: I’m told by FBI HQ that investigators and prosecutors have been zeroing in on alleged false statements Obama’s top spook John Brennan gave in a May 11, 2023 deposition he gave in Room 2237 of the Rayburn House Office Building… developing …”

Brennan is the worst. This news makes me very happy.
Now where did I put that lotion?
This should be a slam dunk trial.
Hopefully no sh*tlib Karens seep their way into the jury.
I wish.. but the tv talking heads made the point his entire career has been a lifetime of dancing around the law. He is a super weasel amongst weasels. Already the left is crying revenge. SMH.
“Revenge” and “justice” are not mutually exclusive concepts.
It should be. But holding it in Alexandria, with a Biden-appointment judge, is not going to lead to an ideal outcome. This judge has gone after Trump officials in the past. So what is DOJ thinking here?
They don’t have many good options. Trial in Northern Virginia is better than DC. Odds aren’t good that he will be convicted but the good guys have to try and keep putting the pressure on.
Perhaps he will commit perjury, or other crimes will be discovered, and he will be tried on them as well.
Not optimal but better than just giving up and not exposing his crimes. Just having to go through the prosecution might well deter other bad actors.

A Dem indicted in Northern VA? Has Hell frozen over?
I’m just glad it’s not DC itself
One of my comments re HRC is that a prosecutor as part of decision to indict has to include the probability of obtaining a conviction. I stated that one of the reasons Hillary was basically immune from indictment was because the jury pool in DC or NY was so solid democrat that it was impossible to get a conviction with that jury pool .
Its the same issue with Comey along with the factor that northern virginia/dc hates Trump.
he rightfully has been indicted, but there is no way he will be convicted.
Fine. Make him spend years of his life and hundreds of thousands of dollars to finally get the far leftists to commit jury nullification.
Letting them skate just because leftists corrupt the very institution of justice is no longer acceptable.
Except, it’s the Eastern District of Virginia, and this could be tried in Norfolk or Newport News or Richmond.
yes the area of north virginia / DC area is part of the eastern district of virgina. Though the trial will be in the alexandria division of the eastern district of virginia

The process is the punishment. Joe’s DOJ demonstrated that clearly enough.
Rake him over hot coals.
I agree with you. Comey walks. I don’t like that one bit, though.
@joe-dallas, when someone is guilty and will likely be shielded by jury notification, we should still put him on trial. Everyone will know what he did even if he ultimately does not have to go to prison.
Bleed him dry in the process just like he did to Michael Flynn.

Heard about before it happened (via a Legal Insurrection comments section).
Google AI says max 10 years
Sounds like a chance for billable hours for his kid since she is out of work right now
Nothing burger, he will skate, just politicians having plebian theater time. If there was any threat of him every going down he would rat out everyone else, which gets you Epsteined
Your sources?
You contradicted your own statement.
If he could be Epsteined for ratting out everyone else, that’s exactly what he won’t do. So the threat of ratting everyone out effectively doesn’t exist, so the potential that he actually does down is real.
“goes down”
Good news. It’s way past time this slime ball is held accountable. This should send a shiver through Schiff for brains and Leticia James.
Going after Schiff for all he did including leaking classified information would be justice but I’ll take mortgage fraud and being thrown out of DC
That’s one.
Oh no, whatever will the pearl clutching, country club, ‘compassionate conservatives’ say to atone at the DC cocktail parties hosted by their buddies on the left?
Congratulations to. Comey on his indictment! Best wishes for a full conviction, and most fervent prayers for a lengthy imprisonment!
Does James Comey find himself needing to explain to his wife tonight why he was not given one of those autopen pardons tonight?
At his height, 6’8″, even James Comey is proof that no one is above the law.
I’m ecstatic! — Muttley
Good. The facts are clear – he committed perjury. This isn’t up for argument, he made a definitive statement he knew was a lie.
Trump let FAR too many of these hacks skate in his first term in the name of ‘getting along’, and they responded by going INSANE with their lawfare.
Hopefully Comey is the first of many. I want that absolute treasonous piece of trash Milley to be next.
Is he actually going to be convicted? Honestly probably not, so many leftists will REFUSE to hold any leftist accountable that jury nullification is a real probability.
But that’s no excuse not to try.
Make him spend years of his life and hundreds of thousands of dollars paying lawyers to finally go to trial and have a far leftist on the jury let him walk. Just like they did to people like Flynn, and Trump.
Milley DID get a pardon.
Unfortunately. He was dead to right guilty of violating 18 U.S. Code § 2387.
https://corpuslegalis.com/us/code/title18/activities-affecting-armed-forces-generally
If you recall, he told subordinates to only accept orders that came from himself to prevent Trump from issuing lawful orders directly. This was mutiny and encouraging insubordination (asking subordinate officers to refuse orders that come directly from the POTUS).
I wouldn’t bet the house on those autopen pardons. I think they are going to be challenged.
I was skeptical until I saw the term “Virginia”.
The out of jail free card (D.C.) apparently was defeated.
However Alexandria VA is about as TDS liberal as DC
There are quite a bit of conservative acreage in the ED of VA. That jury pool has a high chance of getting enough co services to convict.
After all, it had a target rich grand jury capable of indicting Lurch.
False statements and obstruction. That is like a drunk driver getting a ticket for no tail light after he takes out a family of five in a head-on.
The FBI and the Obama gang attempted to interfere in the 2016 election and then stage a coup against a sitting president to cover up their illegal spying. By Comey’s FBI. And all he gets is a ticket.
Comey was sitting on pins and needles just hoping that September 30 would arrive, and the statute of limitations would expire.
Then BOOM!!!!
Indictment!
Even if he gets off, the cost of legal representation will be astronomical.
Now we should pull in Brennan, Clapper, and the others involved, give them qualified immunity, and put them on the stand.
Their statute of limitations may have expired, but with immunity, they can’t plead the 5th. Catch them committing perjury and prosecute.
“Now we should pull in Brennan, Clapper, and the others involved, give them qualified immunity…”
No on Effing Brennan. He needs to fry. He is the worst of the worst.
@BigRosie that is why it needed to be done in the first term. All of them could be indicted and then the first one to break gets immunity.
A Biden-appointed judge was assigned to oversee James Comey’s criminal case on Thursday evening.
Yeah, you know where this will go
To the dust bin of eternity
With an apology from the government by the judge
OOAL He will plea out.
He needs to do the correct Leftist Kabuki theatre moves first. There’s the Claim of Political Retribution for Doing Nothing Illegal, the Rounds of Talk Shows Where Innocence is Loudly Proclaimed, the Endless Waves of Fundraisers for the Defense, the Donation of Massive Hours by BigLaw, a few thousand articles by various leftist media hacks clutching their pearls and claiming a maximum volume how This Has Never Happened Before….then after the midterms, a quick plea bargain signed under seal which of course Cannot Be Discussed By Comey so the Leftists can make up their own facts out of whole cloth while Comey pockets the leftover cash.
Huh, is Hell freezing over? I guess we’ll see
I heard the statement released by the unctuous, smarmy, phony Comey. Yech!
I’d like an explanation as to why he thought that he needed to “stand up to Trump”?
This better amount to jail time. Serious jail time.
TY Professor,
Indictment, arrest, trial,, it is a process, that will finally play out since we at least have step one. Unless he cops a deal.
Cynical people (me) really don’t have much hope for justice. But, again and again I have heard that the process is the punishment, oh, and some feverish excitement about discovery. That may be the best we can hope for.
Dems are screaming, “this is political retribution.”
Yup.
The difference being that it looks like a law was actually broken.
“No One Is Above The Law” except …
I was told the FBI is apolitical.
“We’ve known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump.”
Correction:
“We should have realized that there will be costs to pay for falsely persecuting Donald Trump.”
So the judge that has been assigned the James Comey case goes by the name of Michael Nachmanoff. He was appointed as a federal judge by Joe Biden. But the plot thickens. Nachamanoff was given his first job out of law school working for the eastern district of Virginia by James Comey in 1995-1996. And then hired back again by James Comey once again in 2002 after working in a private practice didn’t work out well for him. You can’t make this shit up. It’s right there on the Internet just open your eyes and look. Nachamanoff worked for / with Comey! This is a massive conflict of interest, and he must recuse himself immediately!

I hope LI will post a detailed analysis of the case.
Should be pretty open and shut. There is video, either he lied or he didn’t.
We need Taylor Swift to sing “Jailhouse Rock”.
