Trump's indictment of Comey represents dangerous political weaponization of justice. The administration fired an experienced prosecutor who refused to bring charges due to insufficient evidence, then installed Trump's personal lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience to rush a flawed indictment before the statute of limitations expired. Even the grand jury barely voted to indict and rejected one count entirely.
Comey's indictment delivers overdue accountability for a corrupt official who weaponized the FBI against Trump. The same man who prosecuted Martha Stewart for lying now faces identical charges for his own perjury to Congress. Comey's years of attacks on Trump, including cryptic assassination references, prove this prosecution targets genuine misconduct, not political revenge.
