The long-anticipated indictment of former FBI director James Comey landed this week, with federal prosecutors charging him with making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding — the kind of accountability a lot of Americans have been waiting years to see after the Russia probe saga. This isn’t about revenge for somebody’s political enemy; it’s about whether a once-powerful top cop was held to the same standard as everyone else in this country.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, appearing on national television, made the Administration’s posture plain: a grand jury reviewed evidence and returned an indictment, and Comey “will get his day in court” to answer those charges. Blanche stressed that the decision came out of a prosecutorial process, not a tweetstorm, and he defended the Justice Department’s role in moving the case forward.
To be blunt, this prosecution did not happen in a vacuum — it arrived after President Trump publicly urged the DOJ to act and after top prosecutors who expressed reservations were replaced, raising legitimate questions about the independence of the process. Conservatives who demanded an even-handed Justice Department are right to watch closely and insist on transparency so this doesn’t become another partisan spectacle.
Comey has for years wore the mantle of moral authority while operating outside the rules that bind ordinary Americans; leaks, mishandling of materials, and showboating testimony created a lot of pain for people who simply wanted equal justice. Whatever sympathy the left once had for him evaporates when you look at a pattern of behavior that deserves scrutiny, not sanctimony.
Make no mistake: patriots should always defend the right of any accused person to a fair trial, but we should also defend the right of the justice system to investigate wrongdoing at the highest levels. If Comey is innocent, let him prove it under oath in an open court — the American people will be the real judge of whether his actions were lawful or another episode of bureaucratic arrogance.
For hardworking Americans who have watched elites dodge consequences for years, this moment offers one of two outcomes: real accountability that restores faith in institutions, or a politicized process that confirms the worst fears about double standards. If the Justice Department conducts this case with rigor and fairness, conservatives will cheer the restoration of equal treatment under the law and hold the line against any abuse of power.
At the end of the day, this is about trust — trust in our courts, trust in prosecutors, and trust that no one is above the law. Patriots across the country should demand that trust be earned through competent, impartial justice, not rewarded by partisan theater.
