Despite the endless rumors swirling in political circles and on social media, former FBI Director James Comey has not been indicted, nor does he currently face any charges related to his testimony before Congress about the 2016 election and its many controversies. While it’s become trendy in some corners to recycle sensational claims about Comey lying under oath or fabricating stories, there remains no credible evidence or legal action supporting these narratives. The persistent drumbeat from Comey’s critics, much like what’s often heard from left-wing talking heads about their political enemies, only adds to an atmosphere of misinformation and political theater.
President Trump, never shy about sounding the alarm on deep state corruption, continues to express his deep distrust of Comey and the broader FBI establishment, especially given their track record during the Russia investigation. Yet even with Trump’s warnings and well-publicized skepticism, the much-hailed “Comey indictment” simply hasn’t materialized. At some point, the American public deserves better than constant teases and claims that don’t line up with documented facts. The reality, clearly disappointing for those clamoring for Comey’s day in court, is that the justice system has not yet found him culpable of the accusations peddled by certain pundits.
On networks like Fox News, legal analysts aren’t shy about dissecting political investigations and calling for accountability where warranted. But even among conservative legal circles, there are no current headlines about Comey being arraigned, indicted, or formally accused of criminal conduct tied to the Steele dossier or his Congressional statements. This is not to say Comey shouldn’t be scrutinized—his leadership of the FBI during one of America’s most contentious periods certainly warrants ongoing examination. However, scrutiny isn’t the same as conviction, and there’s a clear difference between demanding answers and jumping to conclusions that have no basis in legal fact.
This entire episode serves as a reminder of just how easily political narratives, especially those fed by frustration with the DC status quo, can outpace developments in actual law enforcement and justice. Comey remains a lightning rod for partisan ire, but the supposed bombshell indictments repeated in certain corners remain little more than political fantasy for now. Conservatives would do well to focus their energy on exposing real abuses of power and demanding genuine reform, rather than getting swept up in the recurring saga of alleged charges that never seem to land in a courtroom.
In the end, while the Comey saga is far from over in the public imagination, the facts—so often elusive in Washington—tell a simpler story: no indictment, no arrest, and no judicial reckoning as of yet. America’s political drama may keep rolling, but for the time being, Comey’s name remains clear of the kind of criminal prosecution his detractors have loudly anticipated.
