Canada has lots of Comey like people,..like Trudeau and the rest of the Liberal party.
The charge related to false statements permits penalties for an individual who “makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation” in a matter under the jurisdiction of any of the three branches of the federal government.
Like CO2 is causing global warming. How many people can we put in jail for that load of bullshit.

Federal prosecutors on Thursday announced they had won an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey in federal courts.
Comey was indicted by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on charges of making a false statement and obstruction in a criminal case, the U.S. attorney’s office in the area announced on Thursday.
In a statement, Lindsey Halligan, U.S. attorney for the district, said the charges “represent a breach of the public trust at an extraordinary level.”
“The balance of power … relies upon accountability and a forthright presentation of facts from executive leadership to congressional oversight. Any intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance is a violation of professional responsibility and, most importantly, the law,” Halligan said.
President Donald Trump praised the indictment in a post on Truth Social.
“JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI,” Trump wrote.
“Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation.”
In a post on X apparently referencing the indictment, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote: “No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”
FBI Director Kash Patel echoed the sentiment, writing on X: “For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust.”
He said political weaponization was most “blatant … during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.”
“Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account—no matter their perch,” Patel concluded. “No one is above the law.”
Bondi and Patel didn’t name Comey directly.
Charges
The indictment returned by a grand jury on Thursday includes charges of making false statements and obstruction of official proceedings.
The charge related to false statements permits penalties for an individual who “makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation” in a matter under the jurisdiction of any of the three branches of the federal government.
The obstruction charge allows federal penalties including fines or up to five years in prison for knowingly misrepresenting, withholding, or otherwise preventing disclosure of information in civil or House investigations.
The charges stem from Comey’s Sept. 30, 2020, testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The indictment filed by the Justice Department cites Comey’s claim to the panel that he “had not ‘authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports’ regarding an FBI investigation concerning” an unnamed individual.
The document alleges, “That statement was false, because, as [Comey] then and there knew, he in fact had authorized [a third person] to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning [the unnamed individual].”
The second count in the indictment alleges that Comey “corruptly [endeavored] to influence, obstruct and impede the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which an investigation was being had before the Senate Judiciary Committee by making false and misleading statements before that committee.”
Comey’s indictment comes after Trump said he fired the former U.S. attorney overseeing the case, Erik Siebert, from the post. Siebert had refused to bring charges against Letitia James, the New York attorney general, for mortgage fraud, citing a lack of evidence.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Siebert as “a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney ... with a really bad Republican past.”
In the same post, Trump called on Bondi and other DOJ officials to investigate and prosecute Comey, James, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
In the post, addressed to Bondi, Trump alleged that the three are “all guilty ... but nothing is going to be done.”
“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
Following Siebert’s resignation, Trump replaced him in the post with Halligan, who Trump described as “a tough, smart, and loyal attorney” who has worked with him for a long time. |
