The last few weeks have been a long-awaited reckoning for millions of Americans who watched the Deep State run roughshod over our politics for years. Former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James now face federal indictments, and even voices on the left like Matt Taibbi have called the broader pattern a major, underreported problem. This isn’t theater — it’s accountability finally catching up to those who weaponized institutions against political opponents.
Comey was federally charged with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, allegations tied to his role in the Crossfire Hurricane saga and the Russia collusion narrative. The indictment, handed down in late September, accuses a man once hailed as the defender of justice of lying under oath and impeding democratic oversight. Conservatives have long argued the FBI’s conduct during that period deserved investigation; the charges are a vindication of those concerns and a warning to future officials who think they are above the law.
Letitia James was indicted in early October on counts of bank fraud and making false statements related to a 2020 mortgage application for a Virginia property, allegations prosecutors say earned her nearly $19,000 in favorable loan terms. The case was brought in Virginia and has raised immediate questions about prosecutorial choices, timing, and the broader campaign of accountability now sweeping through political elites. Whether one admires James for her past litigation or not, equal justice demands this be litigated in court and decided on facts, not partisan applause lines.
The context matters: these prosecutions followed referrals and internal disputes inside the Justice Department, and reports say career prosecutors raised concerns before cases were pushed forward. The revolving door of special counsel appointments and politically connected attorneys on high-profile matters has shredded public trust for years, and conservatives have been warning about politicized law enforcement all along. If these cases stick, they will prove that no matter how big the office, nobody is immune from the rule of law.
Commentators like Matt Taibbi and Article III Project’s Mike Davis — appearing on national television — called these developments just the beginning and framed them as the opening of long-overdue accountability for ‘lawfare’ Democrats. That language resonates with hardworking Americans tired of seeing elites use government power as a political cudgel while ordinary citizens get thrown under the bus. The spectacle of indictments should serve as a sober reminder: weaponizing institutions against political rivals corrodes democracy and must be stopped.
Patriots should cheer the principle at stake: institutions must serve justice, not partisan agendas. But we must also stay vigilant — the next steps are courtroom battles, not cable-network verdicts, and conservatives should demand fair trials, transparent processes, and consistent standards going forward. If the DOJ and courts want to rebuild trust, they need to apply the law evenly, prosecute corruption wherever it appears, and prove that accountability is for everyone, not just for those the left targets.
