Trump Lays Out Why He Thinks Comey Is Screwed

President Donald Trump lit up social media with an early-morning scorched-earth rant over the indictment of “Dirty Cop” James Comey, saying the disgraced ex–FBI chief had finally dug his own grave, figuratively speaking of course.

Comey, once the king of the swamp, now faces two of the three counts pushed by prosecutors: one for obstruction of justice and another for making false statements under oath.

That “false statement”? According to the indictment, Comey flat-out told the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020 that he had never “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source” for news reports tied to “Person 1.”

The kicker? The New York Times says “Person 1” looks an awful lot like Hillary Clinton. The questioning, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), dug into the FBI’s double-dealing during both the Trump-Russia hoax and the Clinton investigation. Now, years later, it looks like Comey’s lies have come full circle.

The transcript of the hearing at hand indicates Cruz asking Comey about the authorization of anonymous sources, noting that his former deputy, Andrew McCabe, had “publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that you were directly aware of it and that you directly authorized it.”

Asked about who was lying, Comey said he stands by his testimony that he had “never authorized anyone to leak.” For his part, Trump took to Truth Social to lay it out in all caps: “James Comey is a Dirty Cop!”

Trump didn’t stop at gloating — he went further, blasting out a post laying out the case against his disgraced former FBI chief. Predictably, critics are already screeching that the DOJ is just carrying out Trump’s orders. But the president wasn’t about to stay quiet. He felt compelled to weigh in — and when Trump feels compelled, you know he’s going to unload.

“Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED!” Trump wrote. “It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one.”

The president went on to claim Comey “left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question,” and his confidence in addressing the question showed “he wasn’t hedging or in dispute.”

Meanwhile, Comey responded with sanctimonious self-pity:

“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system—and I’m innocent,” he said. “So let’s have a trial. And keep the faith.”

Comey is set to be arraigned on October 9 in a federal court in Alexandria. He is expected to plead not guilty.
