The Spin

The Comey indictment is a transparent act of political revenge, not a serious legal case. Posting a beach photo with seashells is not a credible threat —and Comey deleted it quickly, which shows no criminal intent. The Justice Department keeps losing these politically motivated cases, and this one will be no different.

Comey spent years weaponizing the FBI against political opponents, leaking sensitive materials and engineering dubious charges against Michael Flynn. An Inspector General report confirmed he violated FBI policy and set a dangerous precedent for thousands of agents. Now facing the same false-statement charge he used against Flynn, accountability has finally caught up with him.
