Justice is finally being delivered, as Comey faces federal charges for obstructing Congress and lying under oath about authorizing FBI leaks. The corrupt former director weaponized law enforcement during the disgraceful Russiagate hoax that damaged institutions and eroded public trust. This indictment shows that no one is above the law.
This is a vindictive prosecution and marks the complete collapse of the Justice Department's independence from White House interference. The timing (following Trump's social media demands) shows that this is pure retaliation that goes beyond Nixon's enemies list. The firewall protecting prosecutorial independence is gone.
