America watched on September 25, 2025 as a federal grand jury in Virginia returned an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, charging him with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding — charges that could carry up to five years behind bars if proven. This is no small procedural note; it’s the rare moment when a top official is being called to account for misleading the public under oath.
The indictment did not happen in a vacuum — it followed public pressure from the president and a controversial replacement of the U.S. attorney handling the matter, with interim prosecutors presenting the case to a grand jury amid objections from some career lawyers. Conservatives who have watched the deep state run roughshod over ordinary Americans see this as long-overdue accountability, while the other side predictably howls about politicization.
On Newsmax’s Sunday Agenda with Lidia, Rudy Giuliani reminded viewers why many of us never trusted Comey: as a former U.S. attorney and mayor, Giuliani said his years in the system taught him to spot when elites weaponize institutions and to demand consequences. Giuliani’s blunt assessment — that Comey’s conduct betrayed the public trust and merited prosecution — echoed the frustration millions of hardworking Americans feel toward a two-tiered justice system.
Make no mistake: this is not about revenge, it’s about restoring faith in rule of law. The indictment centers on sworn testimony from 2020 that prosecutors say was untruthful and materially obstructive to a congressional proceeding; if Comey lied under oath, he must face the consequences like any other citizen. Conservative patriots have watched for years as bureaucrats enjoyed impunity while small-business owners and blue-collar families paid the price for following the rules.
At the same time, reasonable Americans should recognize the legitimate concern about Justice Department independence when political appointees remove career prosecutors who decline to indict. That concern doesn’t negate the need for accountability; it demands a system that applies the law evenly and transparently, not one that covers elites or weaponizes prosecutions for partisan theater. The facts on the docket now deserve a fair trial, not partisan pontificating.
This moment is a call to action for patriots who believe in equal justice under law: demand transparency, follow the evidence, and let the courts do their work. Rudy Giuliani’s long record as a prosecutor and his willingness to call out institutional rot should remind conservatives that nobody — not even powerful former officials — is above accountability. If America is to heal and rebuild trust in institutions, we must insist on both the rule of law and the principle that the powerful answer for their actions.
