Finally.

With just days to go until the statute of limitations ran out, disgraced former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors – one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice – just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act “now” to bring prosecutions against Comey.

The charges against Comey are a long-overdue escalation in what Trump’s liberal critics have described as a campaign of retribution by Trump to use the powers of the federal government to enact revenge against those he believes have wronged him. Others, have pointed out that Trump is merely doing to his opponents what they repeatedly tried to do to him. 

The way Comey not only tried to destroy General Flynn and his family by framing him, but later mockingly bragged about it, remains one of the most disgraceful abuses ever committed by an FBI director. He deserves prison for that alone. pic.twitter.com/nQ32z8wr8u

The charges follow Trump’s decision to oust U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, who had reportedly refused to bring cases against Comey, as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James, after Trump appointed him to lead the office. Trump then immediately moved to install Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide and his former defense attorney, to lead the office.

The preemptive false framing of a potential James Comey indictment as a political hit is being driven by leaks from inside DOJ and/or the U.S. Attorney’s Office in EDVA. Kash and his team must launch a full-scale leak investigation into who’s behind it and chase it to the end. https://t.co/BwRCtzRuAe pic.twitter.com/rkylq5Wp1L

In a series of social media posts over the weekend, Trump said Halligan was being appointed to the office to “get things moving,” after attacking Siebert for his resistance to bring what Trump described as a “GREAT CASE.”

“Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States. She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving,” Trump said. 

Comey, who was fired by Trump during Trump’s first term over the investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign and its ties to Russia – which as everyone knows by now was one giant hoax –  has been a vocal critic of what he says are Trump’s efforts to politicize the justice system. Comey proceeded to leak the ongoing case to the NYT and to weaponize not only the deep state but the entire liberal press against the president. 

That argument is now likely to be central to Comey’s defense in his criminal case, which could prove to be a highly consequential test for both the Justice Department and the federal judiciary.
