Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a White House adviser and former Trump defense attorney, was tapped as the interim U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia on Monday. The EDVA office has been conducting investigations of former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Today NBC is reporting that James Comey is likely to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia within the next week.
(via NBC) – Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted on criminal charges in the coming days in federal court in Virginia, MSNBC reported Wednesday.
The news comes days after the top prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia resigned under pressure from President Donald Trump after opposing filing charges against Comey.
[…] The president, in a social media post on Saturday, called Comey “guilty as hell” as he raged about the lack of criminal charges against the former FBI leader.
MSNBC reporter Ken Dilanian, in a post on X, said Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia, according to three people familiar with the matter.
“The full extent of the charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that at least one element of the indictment — if it goes forward — will accuse him of lying to Congress during his testimony on September 30, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information,” Dilanian tweeted.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, that day had asked Comey if he lied when he said he did not authorize a leak of information to The Wall Street Journal.
The reporter noted that the five-year statute of limitations on that charge would lapse next Tuesday. (read more)
The story of James Comey using Daniel Richman to leak to the media is well known. Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz investigated the FBI leaks and wrote a report about it. The prior DOJ refused to prosecute.
SEE Richman article from 2018 – SEE Richman article from 2017 – See Richman article from 2019
In 2018, Congressman Jim Jordan made mention of the issue where James Comey had a special employee on assignment ‘off-the-books’. People started asking questions, and Fox News’ Catherine Herridge detailed how Daniel Richman held special access privileges to the FBI, as an outcome of former FBI Director James Comey authorizing his friend as a “Special Government Employee” or SGE.
2018 – The professor, Daniel Richman, confirmed the special status in response to an inquiry from Fox News, while referring other questions, including on the scope of his work, to the FBI.
“I did indeed have SGE status with the Bureau (for no pay),” Richman wrote in an email.
Richman emerged last year as the former FBI director’s contact for leaking memos documenting his private discussions with President Trump – memos that are now the subject of an inspector general review over the presence of classified material. Sources familiar with Richman’s status at the FBI told Fox News that he was assigned to “special projects” by Comey, and had a security clearance as well as badge access to the building. Richman’s status was the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding. (read more)
Daniel Richman is part of the Lawfare association and close friends with Benjamin Wittes, another of Comey’s tribe.
Remember the little cannon Wittes would use during Andrew Weissmann’s Trump-Russia investigation?
This is why the upcoming indictment was leaked. This has to stop.

Preemptive strike by the DS persecutors.
Attempt to taint the jury pool. This crap is out of control. He lied, its documented and factual. They don’t have enough evidence, GTFO!
To the legal eagles that post here, could TheAkh comment about tainting the jury pool be grounds for change of venue?
They have federal courts in Alabama right?
Likely not. The threshold to change venues is very high.
And when Comey “walks”…He will be laughing in our faces.
And walk he will….
Rather them wait till after next Tues right
President Trump should have never had to tweet for Bondi ti do her job.
And by President Trump specifically naming Comey it makes it very easy first Comey to say this is politically motivated.
Especially since they assign an Obama judge to every one of these cases.
The corrupt judge will dismiss the entire case.
Some people at the EDVA need to be fired!!!
It is Eastern Virginia. They have to leak.
They could use Saw Palmetto.
Yet TPTB will often say the following:
“We cannot comment on impending litigation”? Or many variations of the same…
Leakers say there’s lack of evidence, but the fact that they leaked to MSNBC indicates they’re against the indictments because of their political bias
Also the little fact that the evidence is right there in our faces on video.
🙄
So apparently the leakers are parroting Comey’s famous line about how “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case.
They should all be fired then.
The DOJ/FBI residue crew that tried to prevent this completely justified trial will all be fired/dismissed/resigned soon enough.
I just hope a couple of them are prosecutable on conspiracy charges.
It’s always a treat when a bunch of pirates start threatening their former pirate friends.
This is actually hopeful. These leaks are a hopeful indicator.
Leaks here are their alarm. That MSNBC is shrieking about this is their alarm. That traitors still inside DOJ are fighting this is their alarm.
They are alarmed. This is not hopium. There is the apparent real, meaningful, prospect of indictments now. Finally, the first ones.
And Ed Martin’s Strike Force continues on separately, on many other tracks.
They are finally alarmed.
But that there are still high-level traitors inside DOJ after seven months, including lead US Attorneys, and that it took PDJT to personally intervene to prevent the SOL from running in this VA instance, is OUR alarm.
Pam Bondi must go. Her incompetence is costing lives and jeopardizing justice from proceeding.
Depending on how he performs with the Strike Force, perhaps Ed Martin should be the next AG.
This also will enable the identifying of the traitors, correct?
Heard this morning a judge says the justice dept(blondie) may have predigest the murder case of Lugis Mangoni.
YES! Bondi MUST GO! Yesterday!
Not necessarily…..with the statute of limitations about to expire, this information explains that things are going to move fast and why.
Ongoing conspiracy coverup, Statute of Limitations does not expire…..
comey and the alleged lying, looks cut and dried yes, SOL will run out. charge/indict on lying to congress. then add him with enhanced charges to a rico et al. Both plus more. some things i read about the bolton hiding docs and memos showing obama authored the Russia collusion hoax weaponization in fed govt, and was hidden buried in his safe and/or the nsc safes. it would seem a grand conspiracy and so many involved with the 2 bogus prez impeachments and hogtying trump in his first term and points beyond. taxes, so-called class docs at maralago etc.
Hides any Rico angle for sure if that’s even happening
I think we need a federal grand jury to investigate the EDVA…
Uncle Bibi approves. Of course, it is unlikely anything will happen to Comey, et al. The leverage and compromise run deep in our infected government. Panem et circenses. I have a glimmer of hope that at least they’ll suck these vermin dry like they did to General Flynn.
That at least would be something.
You know what? The process is the punishment. 😁. When Comey tries to mount a legal defense, indict his lawyers and freeze his access to “legal defense funds” claiming an IRS probe.
Bankrupt him with years of litigation.
Not even close to relevant. If bibi wants to contribute. For me, he owes us
We must hope and pray for more.
The Deep State for 2 + decades has brought US near to ruin.
We will not have a better chance to fix this mess than NOW.
BTW
It was Unlikely Trump would win in 2016, 2020, 2024 but he did. All 3 times.
Unlikely events happening seem to be the hallmark of this Trump era.
There is no “Trump Era.” Trump is a symptom, not a cause.
What we are living through–assuming that we do–is the death of Socialism and of republican forms of government worldwide, along with the total failure of so-called “Enlightenment” ideas, especially universalism, and the planned end of the equally planned Ponzi Scheme that most people have mistaken for national economies for the last 500 years.
We are also witnessing the twilight of the last 500 years of European dominance of the world.
If we live through the next ten years, absolutely nothing will be the same as any of us has always known it.
So with it taking place in the Eastern District of Virginia, will the Grand Jury refuse to Indict?
If indicted, will a Virginia jury refuse to convict?
Basically, will Comey skate because of it taking place in the Eastern District of Virginia?
Of course. Batimore, DC proper, Eastern Virginia are just anti-everything that is common sense.
Not necessarily. I was on a jury in Loudoun and me and the other jurors were talking about other cases they had been on. And some had been on Federal cases in EDVA when they were living in Southern VA. They call jurors from all over the state. VA is RED outside of the NOVA area. Maybe Richmond too, but that is just the inner city.
Loudoun has many conservatives who hate the DS but keep low profiles.
They only live there because THAT’s where the big players live.
Virginia has votes red for some time, it just tends to get stolen and buried by the usual cheaters.
It is an eye opening experience to drive from DC down to Fredericksburg on roads that are 5 miles or more from I95….like along all those Civil War battlefields. It’s a different planet compared to the land of the lizard people.
Raid the bas!@&$s home at 3 a.m. with orders to shoot. Confiscate all files and electronics. Cuff and perp walk him. Throw him in prison. No bail. Flight risk.
That would be worth him getting off just to see all that pomp at the gitgo
THAT would be a tv segment everyone would watch, again and again.
Comey is mid-hanging fruit, but still it’s a worthy prosecution. Let justice be done even if only for the sake of the optics.
J
<Comey is mid-hanging fruit…>
Like Buttigieg…
Without the ‘mid-hanging’ part 🙂
Eeew.
Depends on the sentence if he will squeal. He has people that will endlessly pay bills with your debt
Comey deserves the same treatment his Mueller toadies gave Roger Stone. Dawn raid, dragged out onto the porch where Fox News cameras are waiting. Full SWAT teams, armored vehicles and a gunboat patrolling the waters behind his house. Let him savor his own flavor.
While deliciously tempting, actually the reverse would be preferable to showcase the contrast. Insist he turn himself in wearing a coat and tie. Let him do his presser outside the booking room. Don’t give him the op to wear his own T-shirt. If he refuses, proclaim that loudly and yet still arrest him quietly.
As true as your perspective is, there are a couple of other potentials:
Seeing this happen to Comey will cause a stir in the circles around him like a rock thrown into a pond. This could cause traitors to do indavertent things that will enable better prosecutions of them.
“Gently, professionally done”, the SWAT will begin to satisfy Americans’ need for justice.
Equal treatment under the law…what is good for Republicans is good for Democrats.
Yes, my sentiment exactly. The full Trump Mar-a-lago treatment too. Go through his panty drawers. We know he wears them. Probably rainbows and unicorns in there too.
During the Hillary email issue, I had an agent extol Comey as a man of virtue. I skeptically, but respectfully, told him that I felt that his perspective would ultimately prove to be flawed. He was adamant. I’ve had a couple of opportunities since then, to mock him, saying “That damn James Comey is a man of moral virtue”.
Does he now agree that Comey is dirty or does he think it’s all “a witch hunt”?
At the beginning even Rush Limbaugh defended him. Later though he sadly admitted he was wrong.
Which shows (again) the virtue/Character that was Rush.
It’s a show. Thats all.
I did not purchase a ticket.
The ink splash on the paper shows what you think.
So is this all we’ll get after Trump scolded Bondi’s lackluster job preformance?
Going thru the motions
No this is the media raping your mind again like demons.
They are framing it to make it look the most stupid as possible they can
Just another day at the beach for Ol’ Jimmy……………………
I suppose it is progress, though, that they indict him vs. a ham sandwich.
Maybe they won’t convict.
But the public will learn that Comey the weasel leaked the classified memo to kickstart the mueller probe of a crime that comey the weasel knew the FBIe determined wasn’t credible.
95% of the public doesn’t care…or even know.
That’s your ink splash art interpreting.
Change your mind change the interpretation
It certainly seems that way most days.
Show me a jury that doesn’t convict this and you show me a location to clean upike memphis
steal his shoes. throw them over the nearest power line.
wash, rinse, repeat.
you have your task now.
God Bless America
I am sure you have occasionally posted, the insightful AUTHORITY on the motivation for the setup on Jan 6, but I haven’t noticed in quite a while. Would you please explain your intended meaning with your shoes over power lines admonition.
The Lyin’ Times says it has nothing to do with criminal activity (at least not in 2005). https://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/15/nyregion/what-they-say-up-there-is-whos-down-here.html
good ol’ Fusion Ken Delanian
Well let’s see if it goes anywhere this time. And by the way, why do they always have that same smug look about them?
Leakers keep leaking. Corruption keeps churning. Or was this an actual announcement?
The SOL runs on these crimes next week. PDJT personally intervened with a very public dress down of Pam Bondi over this near failure.
Blowing the SOL on charging is gross incompetence.
So either Comey gets indicted by next week, or Pam Bondi is going to get fired.
I’m rooting for both.
that would be so sad if true
That’s Herr Mueller
Tall Man Syndrome : Feeling a sense of entitlement or arrogance due to their height. Throw in a pound of narcissism and you’ve got Cardinal Jim.
I was just about to post the same thing. His whole life people took him more seriously because he was tall. It is a VERY real psychological thing.
My BIL is 6’2″. He interviewed for a job and knew who his competition was, and they were way more qualified. I looked at him and my FIL and said, you’re gold. You’re tall and not stupid so you will win out. My FIL agreed. And wouldn’t you know it, he got the job!!
Doesn’t Comey have dementia ?
Sorry, I got him confused with Robert Mueller.
I did the same and deleted my comment…posted before having my morning coffee
Mueller’s pulling a Vinny “The Chin” Gigante trying to escape targeting
How the hell can a federal employee be allowed to use his authority to contrive a “memorandum of understanding” to inoculate himself from criminal liability to commit a crime? So this is how the bullshit artists play their game while endorsing paychecks funded by our tax dollars? Rip the whole rotten system out by its roots.
SES
The two are really interchangeable.
Since Kimmel is back on ABC and FCC hasn’t pulled their license yet I would like to see ABC and every local ABC affiliate sued by Trump if they put out the impression that this is unjust retribution of a political opponent. Everyone should know for example that Comey worked with the OBAMA administration to illegally spy on political opponents both through the NSA database and then the ILLEGAL Carter Page FISA warrants which Comey signed. Same goes for an indictment of Leticia. Everyone should know about Leticia/ Engoran math where Mar a Lago is only worth between 18-27 million. Everyone should know there was no trial on guilt – only punishment. Trump’s total settlement on those defamation suits concerning Leticia should not be less than a total of $454 million plus daily interest.
I think that ABC should be the only arbiter on the hiring or firing of personnel. President Trump is free to offer an opinion, but that is all. Unless this Kimmel guy encourages terrorism/violence or similar, he has freedom to offer his opinions. Government should not be anywhere near this.
(I do not have TV)
Can’t wait to see him perp walked.
If the case is successful, these prosecutors should be canned. What are they worried about, their won/loss record? More likely they’re deep staters exposing themselves.
Fed employees under gs15.
They are there for 30 years thru multiple admins.
They have lived thru multiple Obama, fought trump, sought us under Biden, and are ready to resist PDJT again
I’m sorry but this is all theater – he should be charged with election interference. Who gaf about the leaks?
Al Capone went to jail for tax fraud. Sometimes they finally get justice for things they know you did but cannot prove. So they go after the acts they know they CAN prove.
This leak caused the Mueller sedition under PDJT
Wake up. Quit berating your future
There’s no real “election interference” statute. Even if there was, it’s hard to prove Comey’s official actions were interference. He could say “I was just investigating, just doing my job “
Repeat after me Democrats: No one is above the law.
Bout time that this snowball starts t o run downhill and pick up along with all the coup traitors
What about co conspirators Clapper and Brennan et al.
Clapper already ratted
Connecting the dots?
J comie apparently accepted the wordsmith public speaking role
since it was too hot to handle for the airport tarmac meeting folk$ ( l lynch and b c )…since per j comey no other prosecutor would reasonably take up the privately hidden public email server topic
( hackable by whom? a national and domestic security concern ).
So, using taxpayer funds, how many public govm’t employees are doing
that type of communication today – without accountability?
hmmm…
Maybe some opportunity for transparency of prior taxpayer paid administrators could help.
Sunlight upon truths can help.
( otherwise, what are we the people getting for our paid taxes…? messes upon messes, and cover ups, mob mentality miss ruling…and..not good.)
There is freedom of expression.
There is also responsible freedom of expression and accountability ( via transparency to the public for public use of taxes)
for a sustainable civil society, via 1919 Schenck vs USA.
The ‘classified’ label for national security is often over used – to miss protect personal miss behaviors from the public.
An unaware public ( of truth ) could miss vote for something not good…
…( maybe we stumbled upon a miss motivation of secret private server used by public official(s) )?
Imho
Obamas email was on her server. Comey investigated that also, and publicly released documents showing he changed it to sr gov official
This really has the flavor of Lucy, a football and Charlie Brown.
Great! Just be sure when he appeals the “guilty” verdict that it winds up in Judge Cannon’s court room!
Good.
Finally.
Apparently,
An indictment.
Should not have been leaked.
May the process be the punishment.
How odd, it seems you can lie repeatedly in Congress, recieve huge bribes in Congress, but Citizens cannot lie to Congress.
You can bet your bottom dollar that EDVA dem operatives were giving Comey everything and will continue to sabotage the case.
They and Comey need to be wiretapped and the whole lot of them prosecuted.
So that’s why they went after Catherine Herridge so hard!
I will believe Comey will ever serve time for anything when I see it. That guy has had five years to line up his alibis and 4 of those were while Comey, Holder, and Obama were running Biden’s Presidency. Look for Hunter and Jill to find a new source of income in the near future and for a couple of key witnesses to be made financially whole in the near future. The only way to catch Comey is to fake him out and get him to bribe the wrong person, which I doubt would ever happen to him.
If Comey goes down, so will dozens of his accomplices, so most of the IC community will do whatever they can to help him. Comey is basically immune from any prosecutions because of this. We are wasting our time trying to get him into Court and we should be focused on making it impossible for him to do any more damage to our Country.

Ruh roh. Why, why, why aren’t these folks already known and corralled (if not fired) so they can do no harm? This inbreeding with the government is a problem.
These are the same types who are coaching Kash Patel that it would be impossible to infiltrate antifa, so don’t even bother.
Presidents Have Activated US Troops on American Soil at least 9 times.
Pres. Eisenhower sent the 101st Army Airborne division into Little Rock Arkansas and federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard to fight against the racism of Democrat Governor Orval Faubus.
Pres. JFK federalized the 17,000 member Alabama National Guard to fight against the racism of Democrat Governor George Wallace. Democrat Wallace stood in the Schoolhouse door to block Black students from entering the school.
Pres. LBJ federalized the Alabama National Guard to protect marchers traveling from Selma to Montgomery from the Racism of Democrat Governor Wallace.
Pres. Lincoln activated the state militias of the Union, to fight the racist Democrat secessionist in the Confederacy States.
Pres. Johnson federalized 8,000 Michigan National Guard troops in Detroit and authorized an additional 5,000 federal troops to quell the riots caused by the racist police departments under Democrat Detroit Mayor Cavanagh.
Pres. Johnson activated 1,750 National Guard troops in the nation’s capital in addition to 12,000 federal troops, to restore peace, after the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.
Pres. George H.W. Bush invoked the Insurrection Act to federalize nearly 6,000 California National Guard troops. He also sent in FBI SWAT teams, federal riot control police and 4,500 soldiers to Los Angeles at the request of Republican Governor Pete Wilson for the Rodney King Riots.
Pres. Jimmy Carter activated the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve in response to an unprecedented refugee crisis out of Cuba. … Castro, taking advantage of Carter’s open-border policy, forcefully deported convicted criminals, mental hospital patients, and prostitutes to the USA.
Pres. Biden stationed 2000 to 25000 Soldiers of the National Guard in Washington DC for months after his inauguration in 2021.
The DS is going crazy. They have used every weapon in their arrsenal (including assasination attempts) and keep steppin in their own poo.
Trump said at Charlie Kirk’s Memorial service “I hate my enemies.”
More honest words were never uttered.
Yesterday’s sophomoric UN sabotages will have sealed Trump’s focus for a few days.
There WILL be an indictment, sources inside my head tell me. I’ll bet my morning throne of glory product on it.
Comey is but the first leg of a foul “stool” (double entendre please) coming down.
It’s gunna be fun. We have waited long enough.
Comey’s son-in-law Troy Edwards is a DOJ prosecutor: https://joehoft.com/exclusive-is-jim-comeys-son-in-law-in-the-doj-trying-to-prevent-comey-from-being-arrested/
FIRE BONDI / bill barr v2.0
DOJ Resistance Group deliberately running out the clock on statute deadline
They failed.
There is a remedy for DOJ traitors slow-walking these investigations and prosecutions, refusing to proceed with handed down indictments, or otherwise attempting to sabotage the pursuit of justice against these seditious conspirators.
It is called Obstruction of Justice.
Start prosecuting the rogue deep state prosecutors that Epic Failure AG Pam Bondi refuses to expel.
At some point, especially after what happened in VA, where Bondi previously fought against Lindsey Halligan’s appointment in favor of a RINO saboteur … maybe she is obstructing justice, too.
Put him in a 6 foot diameter circular cell with a 6 foot ceiling.
I want make sure he can’t sleep diagonally or stand up straight.
Just for fun, tell him he has to sit in the corner or he gets no food.
Am I wrong, doesn’t SD have all the receipts on Comey and his antics? Should be a slam dunk.
It seems though that there is still hope! 😆
https://x.com/mrddmia/status/1971357149776450012?s=61
The Comey case has been assigned to a Biden Judge. DOJ should pay close attention here.
Word is Comey is going for dismissal. How unlikely is it that this case will go forward?
“H-A-Double ‘L’-I-G-A-N spells Halligan! That’s me! ” – US ATTY Allison Halligan introducing herself at press briefing (that would be awesome if she did as she would “out Irish” James Comey)
It will be swiftly appealed forward and upward.
A Biden appointed judge has been given the case. How did that happen??
I thought that Bondi could be controlled better than this, when she was nominated. She’s such an ambitious creature that I thought she’d put her finger into the wind and go in the direction it’s blowing, despite her Deep State leanings. But her mediocrity, not to mention her swamp roots, is apparently too strong a pull.
I think that if the Repblicans do well in the mid terms, we’ll see a complete shake up and unless Bondi has had an epiphany before then, she’ll be gone. Given the President’s disgust with what is coming out of Justice and the FBI, I think that both agencies will be seeing new blood.
J
Why not Comey? Ex-President of France Nicolas Sarkozy was just sentenced to 5 years in prison. Sarkozy now has to watch his back. I hope Comey soon does too. And how about John Brennan to keep Comey company?
Hey Jimbo, after your conviction you can write another book and go on a book tour within the prison. MSNBC can interview you about it, with Nicolle Wallace, in particular, wetting her undies with excitement.
So someone claims they have a Democrat judge.
Thank you for the forest picture, it is beautiful. We need to get back to nature.
