Attorney General Pam Bondi took action this week, asking a federal appeals court to revive the criminal indictments against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Bondi’s filing — a detailed push to undo the lower court’s ruling — argues the judge erred in tossing the cases and asks the Fourth Circuit to put the prosecutions back on track.
These prosecutions were no small potatoes: Comey was indicted in late September 2025 on counts tied to his congressional testimony, and Letitia James was charged in October 2025 with bank-fraud-related crimes connected to a 2020 mortgage. Both indictments were the product of grand jury processes in Virginia and reflected real allegations, not partisan gossip.
A federal judge threw those indictments out in November 2025, finding that the prosecutor who brought the charges, Lindsey Halligan, had been unlawfully appointed — a procedural defect that the court said voided her actions and left the cases vulnerable. The dismissal was styled “without prejudice,” but legal scholars warned the Comey matter could be time-barred because the statute of limitations had already run, creating a genuine legal puzzle.
Bondi’s appeal makes clear she believes justice was short-circuited by paperwork and procedural contortions, and her team has asked the appellate court to restore the indictments so facts can be litigated on their merits. Conservatives who’ve watched the double standards in Washington for years should welcome a DOJ that fights to correct lower-court mistakes and hold powerful opponents accountable rather than folding when political pressure mounts.
This fight isn’t just legalism — it’s about whether law enforcement will be honest and equal under the law or whether it will remain a tool for the privileged and the well-connected. Bondi’s move signals that Republicans and patriots won’t quietly accept selective immunity for political friends of the left; they want trials, not excuses, and they want institutions restored.
Hardworking Americans deserve a Justice Department that prosecutes the facts, protects victims, and refuses to be bullied by elite narratives. If the appeals court allows these cases to proceed, it will be a step toward restoring accountability and proving that no one is above the law — not even the people who once ran the FBI or the state attorney generals who play by one set of rules for insiders and another for the rest of us.
