Judge Sides With Comey?
A federal judge just handed former President Donald Trump a major win in his long-running feud with former FBI Director James Comey.
On Wednesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ordered the Department of Justice to turn over key evidence and grand jury records from the Comey investigation — a dramatic move that could finally expose what Trump has long called deep state corruption inside the FBI.
Judge Slams DOJ for “Indict First, Investigate Later”
During a heated court session, Fitzpatrick openly criticized the DOJ’s handling of the case, accusing prosecutors of rushing to indict without proper evidence. “We’re going to fix that, and we’re going to fix that today,” he said, according to the Associated Press.
Comey, who attended the hearing but did not speak, appeared stone-faced as his legal team admitted they had not yet received the files.
Leaked Communications and Media Collusion
The materials include communications between Comey and Columbia law professor Daniel Richman, a longtime associate who acted as a special government employee for the FBI. Investigators seized these messages in 2019 and 2020 — and they could reveal explosive details about Comey’s behind-the-scenes coordination with the media during the Trump presidency.
Prosecutors allege that Comey encouraged leaks to reporters about internal FBI matters, and then lied to Congress by denying he had authorized anyone to act as an anonymous source.
The False Testimony and Clinton Connection
Comey was indicted for allegedly lying under oath during his 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony — where he denied authorizing leaks tied to both the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Trump-Russia hoax.
He has pleaded not guilty, insisting that the case is politically motivated. But the DOJ has rejected that claim, defending President Trump’s social-media posts calling for Comey’s prosecution. Prosecutors argued that Trump’s comments simply reflect his belief that Comey is “guilty as hell.”
Trump Fires Back — and Others Fall Too
On Truth Social, Trump praised Attorney General Pam Bondi for taking action, calling for full accountability for Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former national security adviser John Bolton. All three have since been indicted under the Trump administration’s ongoing anti-corruption crackdown.
Comey’s Team Cries Foul
Comey’s lawyers blasted the DOJ, claiming the prosecution “marks a sharp departure from decades of ethical standards.” But critics say this is the same DOJ that spent years protecting the Clintons while targeting conservatives — a pattern President Trump has vowed to end once and for all.
Trial Set for January 5
The high-stakes trial begins January 5, setting the stage for a historic courtroom showdown that could finally bring accountability to the FBI’s leadership — and vindicate President Trump’s claims of political bias and corruption at the highest levels of government.
