The news that former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on federal charges tied to allegedly making false statements and obstruction is a watershed moment that vindicates years of questions about how the bureau operated under his watch. This is not small-time politicking — the charges relate directly to his 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks, and they carry the kind of legal weight that the public deserves to see tested in court.
Comey reacted by going public, posting a video proclaiming his innocence and insisting he wants his day in court, a predictable knee-jerk of a career Washington figure. His public posture — theatrically broken-hearted for the Department of Justice while demanding trust — will do little to convince Americans who have watched these same patterns for years.
On Fox & Friends Weekend, columnist Miranda Devine cut through the pretense and called Comey what many of us have long suspected: a weak and silly sort of man whose penchant for spectacle only makes his legal position worse. Devine warned that Comey’s decision to grandstand publicly about an active indictment is reckless and risks further compromising both his credibility and any legitimate defense he might mount.
Conservatives who have been sounding the alarm about the FBI’s politicization are not doing so out of spite but out of experience — Comey’s tenure was marked by decisions that looked like political theatre rather than impartial law enforcement. The public watched as norms were shredded and insiders played games with prosecutorial power; holding even high-ranking officials to account is the only way to restore trust in institutions our country depends on.
Yes, there are legitimate concerns about the timing and the sudden replacement of the U.S. attorney who initially balked at charges, and every American who cares about the rule of law should watch for politicization. But legitimate skepticism about process does not mean powerful people should be immune from consequences when evidence emerges they may have lied under oath. Americans want equal justice, not selective immunity for the well-connected.
This moment should be a wake-up call for hardworking patriots everywhere: demand transparency, demand accountability, and refuse to let elites rewrite the rules to protect their own. If we want a nation where the law applies to everyone, we must back the institutions that enforce it — and be ruthless in rooting out the bad actors, no matter how many headlines or book deals they have.
