Comey’s day has finally come.
Former FBI Director James Comey, one of the leading figures behind the discredited Trump-Russia investigation, has been dragged into court to face serious criminal charges — and conservatives are calling it long overdue justice.
Comey entered a plea of not guilty Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia, facing two felony charges — one for allegedly providing false statements and another for obstructing a congressional inquiry. Once seen as a central figure in what many call the Deep State’s campaign against President Trump, the former FBI director now finds himself battling to clear his own name.
⚖️ Comey Appears in Court Under Biden-Appointed Judge
The former FBI boss appeared before Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee, at the Albert V. Bryan Courthouse. His wife, Patrice, and daughter, Maureen, waited quietly outside as the man who once led the FBI faced justice.
Comey’s attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, called it “the honor of my life” to defend him and claimed the case is “a vindictive and retaliatory prosecution.” His team plans to file motions alleging abuse of power and government misconduct.
When asked if he understood the charges, Comey muttered, “I do, your honor.”
Judge Nachmanoff scheduled oral arguments for November 19 and December 9, and set the jury trial for January 5, 2026. Comey was released on his own recognizance.
🚨 What the Indictment Says
Comey’s indictment accuses him of lying to Congress about whether he authorized FBI officials to leak information to the media during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation — the probe that fueled years of false “Russia collusion” claims against President Trump.
According to prosecutors, Comey’s actions obstructed Congress and misled the American people about the FBI’s political targeting of Trump.
💥 Justice Department Sends a Message: “No One Is Above the Law”
Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the move, saying:
“This indictment proves that no one is above the law. The Department of Justice will hold accountable anyone who abuses their power to mislead the American people.”
FBI Director Kash Patel echoed the sentiment, declaring that previous FBI leadership had “weaponized federal law enforcement” for political gain.
“Under my leadership,” Patel said, “the FBI will confront corruption head-on. The Russiagate hoax was a disgraceful chapter we’re still working to expose.”
📹 Comey Plays the Victim — Again
After being indicted, Comey posted a video on Instagram portraying himself as the victim of political persecution.
“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump,” he said. “But I’m not afraid.”
Despite his bravado, Comey insists he is innocent and claims to have “great confidence” in the same justice system that is now prosecuting him.
🕵️♂️ Brennan Also Under Investigation — Deep State House of Cards
Fox News has confirmed that former CIA Director John Brennan is also under investigation for his role in the Trump-Russia fiasco. Both Comey and Brennan were central to the Crossfire Hurricane operation, launched in 2016 to undermine Trump’s campaign.
President Trump fired Comey in 2017 — a decision that led to the appointment of Robert Mueller and a two-year, $30 million investigation that ultimately found no evidence of collusion.
Later, Special Counsel John Durham exposed that the FBI ignored clear warnings that the bureau itself was being manipulated by the Clinton campaign to create the Russia narrative.
Durham’s report called it a “startling failure” and accused the FBI of acting as a political weapon, rather than an impartial law enforcement agency.
🇺🇸 Conservatives Say It’s About Time
To many Americans, this case is about far more than one man. It’s about accountability — and restoring faith in institutions that were hijacked by politics.
Comey once stood at the top of the FBI, now he stands before a judge.
The man who helped launch the Russiagate hoax is finally facing the justice system he once controlled.
🔥 Bottom Line: Justice Is Coming
The Comey trial will test whether the justice system truly applies equally to everyone — including those at the highest levels of power.
For years, Trump supporters have demanded accountability from the bureaucrats who abused their authority to attack a sitting president. Now, that reckoning appears to have begun.
As one conservative commentator put it:
“The deep state built this mess. Now they’re the ones on trial.”
