America saw a long-awaited moment of accountability on Sept. 25 when a federal grand jury in Virginia returned an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, charging him with making a false statement and obstruction related to his Senate testimony. For years Comey fancied himself untouchable while overseeing scandals and leaks that undermined trust in our institutions, and now prosecutors say those actions will be examined in a courtroom like any other American. Patriots who watched the corruption at the highest levels have every right to demand answers and consequences.
The indictment zeroes in on Comey’s Sept. 30, 2020, testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where prosecutors allege he lied about authorizing an FBI employee to serve as an anonymous source — the kind of misconduct that corrodes the rule of law when left unchecked. This is not partisan theater; it is an accusation that a former FBI director misled Congress during a critical oversight hearing. If the evidence supports the charges, it proves what many conservatives long suspected: parts of the so-called deep state operated with impunity.
Critics will scream “political retribution,” but the timing cannot be ignored — the forced resignation of the prior U.S. attorney and the installation of an interim prosecutor loyal to the president came only days before the charges were filed. Americans should demand that the process be fair, but they should not pretend timing alone erases alleged wrongdoing. If presidents are finally using the power of the Justice Department to hold corrupt officials accountable, conservatives will cheer transparency and consequences, not partisanship.
GOP lawmakers and commentators have been clear-eyed about what’s at stake, and Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas helped drive that message home during appearances on Fox programs that have made accountability a centerpiece of their coverage. Conservatives aren’t celebrating prosecutions for sport; we’re calling for the same standard of justice that was denied to ordinary Americans when bureaucrats abused their power. The American people deserve a justice system that treats every citizen — high or low — the same under the law.
At the same time, President Trump’s investigation into the Biden autopen story has forced a long-overdue look at how presidential actions were carried out in recent years, with a White House memorandum directing a review of whether aides used a mechanical signature device to sign significant documents. No administration should be above scrutiny, and if executive action was taken without the knowledge or capacity of the president, that raises constitutional questions that demand investigation. Conservatives believe in both strong leadership and rigorous oversight; this probe is about preserving the integrity of the presidency itself.
Yes, opponents will howl about politicization, and much of the media will frame every move through a partisan lens. The proper conservative response is not to reflexively defend all actions by an ally or attack every inquiry into a foe — it is to insist on due process, full transparency, and the rule of law. If the evidence proves wrongdoing, prosecute; if the evidence does not, drop it — but do it openly so the American people can see justice, not secrecy.
Hardworking Americans are tired of elites who think they are above the rules. Whether it’s alleged misconduct inside the FBI or questions about how presidential power was exercised, the goal must be the same: restore trust in institutions by following the facts wherever they lead. Conservatives will keep pressing for accountability, because defending the Constitution means defending the idea that no one — not a former FBI chief, not a president, not a bureaucrat — stands above the law.
