Comey Pleads Not Guilty to Charges of Alleged False Statements, Obstruction of Congress
Prosecutors had to secure an indictment before September 30 due to statute of limitations.
Former FBI Director James Comey appeared at the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges of alleged false statements and obstruction of Congress.
On September 25, a federal grand jury indicted Comey “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 had to secure an indictment before September 30 due to the statute of limitations.
“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.”

“No one is above the law.” Except for the Clintons who have been above the law for decades. They can destroy evidence, expose classified information, and nothing happens. Nothing will happen to them. None of the big ones will get touched, like Obama. Bondi will protect the worst of them. Trump’s worst appointment.
Bondi is not a smart nor clever person
One has to question how she rose to the position she is in
Remember the Trayvon case, she was ready to hang Zimmerman.
She’s a political beast, that’s it
No there there
You just hate Bondi. We get it.
Blondie “I’ve got the Epstein client list right here on my desk” Bondi is just the last on the list of Trump’s bad choices for Attorney General of the United States. Sessions, Barr, and now Bondi. You’d think Trump would have learned his lessons during his First Administration and nominated someone who would actually do the job. But apparently that isn’t the case.
I suspect the problem for gonzotx is that Bondi was associated with Ron DeSantis, who had opposed Trump in the primary and is apparently the Devil for doing so, never to be forgiven.
Comey got to use the backdoor
Not Trump
I hope Trump is revisiting his AG choice
I’m more concerned with launching vigorous investigations followed by competent, ruthless prosecution and successful criminal trials that result in long delayed harsh consequences for these totalitarians than a photo op perp walk. Given the choice I’ll happily give up the photo op to get convictions at trial.
Given the chance of strict border enforcement, Reagan was happily willing to give up an amnesty.
That never turns out well, does it?
When dealing with government, deferred gratification is often a sucker bet.
Let me guess. You wanted Jethro
There a good reason he’s unemployed now,
Before Bondi was assigned to promote the Second Amendment, she was opposing it in Florida. And you’ll notice I didn’t say she was promoting it now — only that she’s been “assigned” to.
Unlike during the Biden Admin where Trump and others that supported him were arrested and brought into jail under shackles in front of media this did not happen to Comey. Comey, in the Trump Admin, was brought to be arraigned to a Judge but out of site of the media. I believe this is due to AG Bondi and who she had picked as the person to run the prosecution.
And conspiracy to criminally frame the President?
Justice Denied is the safe bet. Nothing will happen to him or the dozens of co-conspirators. Statute of limitations passed, and this is it?
Fatigue setting in.
Actually, the timing is kinda perfect for our imperfect world.
Other more serious crimes have had their respective statutes of limitations kick in, so the one or two we are left with might – just might – lead to some sort of punishment that both sides can live with, even if one side grumbles.
There is no statute of limitations on one thing:
He is, and always will be, an ass.
Of course he pled not guilty. I’d have been stunned if he admitted he is a lying sleaze bag that undermined the rule of law and weaponized the FBI to go after political opponents.
He should have pleaded, “Not Guilty . . . even though you all know I am.”
