When a high-profile commentator like Benny Johnson stood up on Finnerty and called James Comey a “pathological liar” and a “creepy individual,” he spoke for millions of Americans who have watched Comey’s inconsistent behavior for years and finally lost patience. Conservatives are tired of elites who act like above-the-law celebrities while ordinary citizens get hauled into court for far less. It was the kind of blunt, no-nonsense reaction our side needs in a moment when Washington’s double standards are being exposed.
This moment has teeth: federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia have now brought criminal charges against Comey, accusing him of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, allegations tied to his 2020 testimony. The indictment is a seismic development that proves these accusations are not just cable-TV talking points but real legal questions moving through the justice system. Americans who demanded accountability from the top of the bureaucracy are finally seeing those calls answered in a court of law.
Let’s be honest about why this lands: conservatives have been warning about Comey’s politicized conduct for years, and respected voices on our side — from pundits to senators — have long described his behavior as dishonest and self-serving. The argument that Comey weaponized the FBI became mainstream among conservatives because his public record repeatedly showed poor judgment and political maneuvering. That history matters now that accountability is no longer theoretical; it’s an actual legal process.
Nobody should pretend this is risk-free or without controversy: the swift filing, the replacement of a U.S. attorney, and the rush to get charges before a statute of limitations deadline have rightly raised questions about whether justice is being done on the merits or by political timetable. Those concerns don’t negate the need for the law to apply equally, but every American who loves the rule of law should be watching to ensure this prosecution is fair and evidence-driven, not vengeance dressed up as justice. The facts behind the filing and the manner of the prosecution are themselves part of the story conservatives demanded be told.
Still, the sentiment Benny Johnson voiced — that powerful people must not be allowed to lie and then walk away — resonates because it’s rooted in a simple Republican principle: equal accountability under the law. From former generals and conservative hosts to the president himself, voices on the right have been calling for those who abused institutions to be held to account, and now the system is being forced to respond. If this prosecution is conducted fairly, it will vindicate years of legitimate grievance against a man who benefited from political cover for too long.
Hardworking Americans don’t want revenge; they want justice, transparency, and a restoration of trust in institutions that have been hollowed out by partisan games. Conservatives should keep pressing for thorough, impartial proceedings, cheering accountability when it’s earned and demanding fairness when it isn’t. If we remain vigilant, loud, and principled, this moment can be the beginning of rebuilding respect for the rule of law and the common-sense values that make our country strong.
