In the ever-unfathomable world of political theater, nothing quite takes the cake like the latest escapade involving former FBI director James Comey. Once thought to have retired to a life of beachcombing and seashell collecting, it turns out he’s still got a few not-so-sandy tricks up his sleeve. Of course, he’d never miss an opportunity to chime in from his self-published platform on Substack, where he recently treated us to a bit of exclusive content.
Now, let’s set the stage. Here’s a video of the man himself, imploring his few but fervent followers to stand up against President Trump. To make matters even more perplexing, the whole thing comes off with a flair wildly reminiscent of a golden-era dramatic epic—minus the dramatic lighting and elaborate costumes, mind you. Instead, we have Comey rallying his faithful to defy the so-called “hacks” leading the Department of Justice and welcoming them to do it with all the courage of a Hollywood blockbuster hero.
But wait, there’s more! Comey’s call to action sounds an awful lot like an endorsement for government workers to defy leadership and risk the fate of their careers. Apparently, in Comey’s world, having the courage to do what he did—going down in flames while crafting a plot—is a badge of honor. Sure, you might get fired, but what are a few lost jobs in the face of righteousness, right? Following the will of the people, now that’s another story. Cross your t’s and dot your i’s because that’s not where the honor lies in this narrative.
With his Substack video, Comey seems to relish the idea of creating disorder within the ranks of federal agencies. One has to wonder: how many of his friends in high places are still around? His influence could still linger through current agents who once answered to him. Imagine a scenario where operatives across the federal landscape, from Secret Service to the FBI, are quietly receiving cues from Comey’s clandestine communications. All under the guise of justice, they could be subtly nudged to safeguard the noble cause… or whatever Comey’s current agenda might be.
Indeed, it’s somewhat chilling to think about how many deep-rooted connections Comey might still maintain within the walls of federal power. Are these ties as benign as they seem, or are they merely the lay of the land for entrenched bureaucrats? For those of us watching from the sidelines, one thing is clear: there’s no shortage of drama in this saga. And as always, Comey’s cameo reminds us that he’s never quite out of the picture. Whether he’s combing beaches or plotting plots, he’s still playing the game, leaving the rest of us to wonder what’s next in this political thriller.
