‘Rule Of Law Endures’: Watch Comey Celebrate Political Prosecutions Of Trump

The long-awaited indictment of Former FBI Director James Comey was surely cause for celebration among his targets.

Vindictive former FBI Director James Comey’s power trip is finally over as he has learned the “rule of law” he so often speaks of applies to him too.

A federal grand jury has indicted Comey for obstructing a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information and with making false statements to the federal government, according to a DOJ statement. The false statements charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, which means Comey may be fitted for the prison jumpsuit he so dearly wanted to see President Donald Trump wear.

With the claim that he was just following the rule of law, Comey used his position to manipulate public perception about Trump, and he played a key role in legitimizing the bogus narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. The saga was tremendously damaging to the country, and the distrust it sowed lives on in today’s deep partisan divisions. Comey should be held accountable for his role.

Trump fired Comey in May of 2017, and clearly he held onto his anger about losing one of the most powerful jobs in the nation, because Comey has continued to nip at Trump’s heels through social media posts. In August of 2018, when Trump was asked to submit to an interview as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s bogus Russia investigation, Comey trotted out his rule of law admonishment to help legitimize the investigation.

Comey could have slunk back into private life and started a new chapter, but he did not stop meddling in the politics of hate, even years after he was fired. The day after Biden was sworn into office, he called for Trump to be imprisoned and to be barred from running for office again.
