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?
It would be grand to see Comey get his just desserts. This leak will enable him to take a powder though and go on the lam to a country that doesn’t extradite. No doubt all these crooks already have millions planted in bank accounts in those countries. I suppose Comey self-deporting would be better than nothing, as long as his passport is permanently revoked.
I pray that Comey, Mueller, and all their smart-a$$ Ivy League lawyer buddies get their just desserts, and I mean hard time in the worst hell-holes imaginable, CECOT beckons the whole gang.
Chain gangs in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi. Deepest Tejas. Oh yeah and the crown jewel of hard labor induced heat mirages, Louisiana.. we don’t deport citizens.. any extracurricular punishments weaponized on these jokers can and will be used against us when the Uniparty gets back into power.
GITMO. As good as deporting.
His ego won’t let him do that. He will do his best to play the victim. It’s what demons do when caught.
Which countries do not extradite to the US?
Morocco, Qatar, Vanuatu, Pitcairn Island…….. which one would you run off too for life.
Yes indeed, I’m getting very concerned about Accountability again as they keep lying away (especially to themselves) – the only way they’re going to get the message and respect other people’s lives is to be treated the way they treat other people, and do hard time – it’s the only thing they understand – and the only thing that will protect us from them, and change their behavior – it has to be done – we can put them right in the jails they made for the rest of us – what a lesson for the ages that would be.

Original Post
A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off an escalator.” The people that did it should be arrested! Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, “Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?” I then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did. And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I’m sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary General, and I demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn’t been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do. All security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Wow! This is the first time I have heard that his legendary and epic speech was heard by the rest of the world but not by the room full of Communists, Socialists, AntiChrist, AntiChristian welfare leeches. My apologies to those moral leaders in attendance [I am theorizing there were some]. They missed a beauty!!!
It would be very satisfying to have the actual names and faces of those whose infantile act of rebellion caused the U.N. to be further shamed. Next stop, the basement.
The entire organization is going to be wiped out when Jesus Christ makes his second visit. That is another item of which they are unaware and/or don’t believe.
Waiting…..
Drop the F’ing hammer, President Trump. Cut bait with the UN and kick them out of our country. Revoke all their VISAs. Then send the special forces after them for HELPING invade our country!!!
Absolutely! I listened to his speech at the UN and I approve of the need to get out of NATO and the UN because they both are a waste of space on this planet.
This explains the look on Secretary Rubio’s face while the President was speaking. He knew they were jacking with the sound system.
I sincerely hope we see some heads roll.
“But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” — Amos 5:24
I will wait until he is indicted, then there will be some remarks about holding him as a material witness in the murder of Seth Rich.
I’d like to think they’ll have enough on him to induce him to cop a plea and get some real jail time, preferably in a maximum security faclility.
God I love that hymn, even Unitarians sing it.
BREAKING: Letitia James is Expected to be Indicted “In the Coming Days” | The Gateway Pundit | by Guest Contributor

This would be so gratifying to see.
I know people want this, I hope that if it is so, the case is air tight and substantial. Nothing worse than going after someone who went after you and it turn into a nothing burger.
I’d rather nothing happen than a big blunder.
Why no 5am SWAT raids? Why the leaks? Let’s see if they give him the Navarro treatment and put him in shackles for his hearing.
Leaks from Comey’s Deep State pals inside of DOJ in attempt to delay or stop it.
So we need to fire and jerk a lot more security clearances then?
Any accountability is better than no accountability. But surely there are far more serious charges to be brought against Comey. This also suggests no charges for McCabe etc. Anything is better than nothing, but if this is the only indictment out of Comey’s outrageous criminal behaviour then it is the barest of bare minimums.
I didn’t see any mention of McCabe – why the idea that there would be no charges for him?
Because this is a crime that Comey committed by himself. It’s not one of the big multi party crimes like lying to the FISA court on multiple occasions which would be a criminal conspiracy committed by multiple people over a protracted period. The low level nature of this charge, compared to the other stuff Comey has done, just suggests to me that this might be it for accountability. I hope I am wrong.
If they get that rolling they can still get Comey; IIRC he actually signed off on one of the Carter Page warrant renewals. But I’m old, like Lone Watie, so I could be mistaken.
McCabe will have to get in line. Brennan is next.
Penitentiary Face Brennan should be, for sure.
Ok I will wait & watch. See what happens- but I do want JUSTICE- not revenge or retribution on what so many people in the Us justice system did to our President Trump.
Hallelujah!!
Dear Lord – Allow this to be the first of many! and let divine justice finally be served.
Amen!
Hey reed, where have you been?
Hi Lindak!
Long absence and I had to return to share in the joy of imminent indictments woohoo!
I hope you are well and all my pals here too! 🙂 Thank you for asking!
Good to see of you rw!
Thank You Musings kind words!!! Good to be here – and anywhere actually lol
Maybe Comey is off looking for seashells in a pattern….
KNOCK! KNOCK! (banging)
(Comey) Who’s there?
(battering ram flings door off its hinges)
Dang it!! See my comment below MC..
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! 🙂
What do you want to bet that Comeys attorney will be Abbe Lowell?
He will lie his axx off under oath!
Nope I’m thinking it will be the Clinton “I can’t remember” defense
Well, he does have a PhD in that discipline.
Hope they engage the leakers while they are at it ..
“I can indict a ham sandwich.” ~ Joe Biden
Joe Biden _is_ a ham sandwich.
It says “expected to be”, I will get hopeful when I read “James Comey Indicted on Criminal Charges”.
He won’t serve any time. Has any leftist at the federal level EVER gone to jail? Been bankrupted? Had a SWAT team “visit”?
Punishment for thee, but none for me. Comey is a master of the shell game, and the game is getting old.
Thimblerig Comey.
No matter what happens with Comey there has to be a lot of nervous wrongdoers right now. It is the beginning of the end for a lot of people right now.
Imagine yourself if you were guilty and knowing it is just a matter of time and your next?
Nobody is nervous because when Pam Bondi was nominated for AG everybody knew then nothing serious would happen to anybody in DC..
For some reason I can’t help but think there are a number of nervous people right now. Pam Bondi or Donald Duck I would be nervous right now if I were a wrongdoer.
Who better than these wrongdoers to be shaking in their books right now, as they know better than anybody that there’s nowhere to run and hide when the fed is after you. They’re nervous. They know how this goes down.
did you mean “boots”?
Ha! Yes. Boots. Hard to know if it’s my typo or auto-correct override. Thx.
that has been the case
Never wrestle with a democrat. You get dirty, and besides, the democrat likes it…
It would be nice if Trump kept his mouth shut with the public comments of “being guilty as hell” which poisons the jury pool. But, he can’t help himself.
If PRESIDENT Trump was one to avoid public comments asswipes like Comey would have been successful in their attempt to have him die in prison you whiney massengil.
Has a Democrat ever been successfully charged for lying to congress before?
I don’t know of anybody.
This seems like a bad joke on voters.
Obama’s AG Holder was charged with contempt but they didn’t follow up with well deserved prosecution.
I would love to see a perp walk and a booking photo!!! 💁🏻♀️ Would make my day!
What is the political bent in the eastern district? If it is heavily ‘rat, they will not indict. After all, they take care of their own no matter what.
It’s optics and it’s about time.
“Oh Happy Day!” Celebrations to begin immediately.
The media will spin this so that not one single mind is ever changed about what happened in 2016. I really don’t like Comey or Strozk or Brennan or any of the other slimeballs who saddled the world with their “Russian Collusion” lies but this is way bigger than watching them swing. What’s important is that the American people understand what happened. This could have been done with strategic arrests and public trials but I fear the ship sailed on that during Trump’s first term.
Our goal is to have your average American understand that Obama broke the law and used the intelligence agencies to create lies to hold back Trump which then, because Trump was chosen by the people to lead them, held back the country. We are much weaker as a country because of the actions of these folks and we’re standing at the edge or war cliff right now.
Trump has the bully pulpit. He needs to use it for something other than Taylor Swift and Jimmy Kimmel. He needs to lay out what happened in some creative way that is impossible to ignore. Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Russian Collusion Edition. How much would it cost to produce that and put it on youtube? I’ll bet you could get some lefties to come on and take the challenge. Bill Maher?
Or maybe Vance or someone can make a series of videos debunking entire episodes of the Maddow Show.
I don’t know. I’m spitballing but I can’t stop seeing a near future where the dems are in control (That election was rigged! This is so unfair!) and Trump is in Riker’s (They can’t do this to him! This is so unfair!) and we all wish we could go back to September 2025 and f*cking do something but now we can’t even vote because we’re all guilty of hate crimes or domestic terrorism or whatever they say we’re guilty of. They are much more vicious than us.
The lies around Trump’s first term should be the only thing anyone ever discusses, except international politics.
They want to talk about ICE? Only talk about the russian collusion lies. Make them own it. Drape it around their necks. Hold a press conference at the Southern Wall with a whole line of Illegals in leg irons and give a speech detailing everything from the pre-2016-election intelligence reports, through George Popadopulas’ harassment, through the Carter Page warrant, to the feds going through Melania’s underwear drawer and don’t mention immigration once. They’ll have to report that.
It’s not 1994. We need to start thinking in creative ways.
Or am I crazy.
Your crazy. I’m crazy. We ‘re all crazy or we wouldn’t be here.
I hate that you’re correct.
But 70 years later Senator McCarthy is still scoffingly referred to as a joke, “McCarthyites” are bad people – for searching out communists, even though they are and were far far more prevalent than even he claimed.
So yes public education to Comey et al’s real crimes is vital.
Take care when fighting Democrats that you do not become a Democrat yourself. For if you gaze long into the lawfare, the lawfare may gaze back into you.
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.
So did PDJT have to pressure Bondi to get this prosecutor fired? How long will she be the AG?
I’ll go against the grain here and say Pam Bondi is, and has been, in lockstep with PDJT. His deleted post was not what it seemed. It appeared on the surface to be a nod to Pam that it is time to indict. Pam already knew that. The Truth was meant to send a message to the evil doers that justice is coming and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hope so!
Comey should have been charged months ago,
Better now than never!
No excitement without an indictment.
No ‘excitement’ without a perp walk.
Oh how I hated that stupid little cannon shtick, which Rachel Maddow used to gush over on her propaganda program. Equally irritating was the nickname she gave Wittes who was a frequent guest: “Boom Boom.” The memory made me throw up a little in my mouth.
Oh thank God.
When doors are knocked off hinges and green lasers dance, I’ll bet you a dollar, Lurch sh!ts his pants.
We need more of this. Yes, please.
John Kerry lives with Comey.
These guys are the Frank Luntz and Kevvdawwg McCarthy of the DemonScats! Gross!
Whoa!! Great minds….
easy peasy… dismissed as not mentally competemt
The SOL is about to run out on Comey. Siebert’s replacement, Halligan, isn’t up to speed on the Comey evidence. Once again, just like the appointment of Bondi, Trump has let ego and loyalty cloud his judgement. Comey will walk. Either through SOL expiration, or shoddy preparation of the case.
Bottom line, Siebert should’ve been fired long before now and replaced with a ruthless, bulldog of a prosecutor.
I’m getting tired of this footsie playing BS. Hasn’t the death of Charlie Kirk made these people realize there are people out there willing to kill to remain in power? You would think Trump, of all people, would know this but Bondi makes him look weak time after time and he refuses to fire her. Now we have this Comey mess and he thinks changing ONE attorney in the Eastern District of Virgina is going to magically fix this? That office needs cleaned out of SEVERAL PEOPLE, not just one.
Trump can either get serious about those around him or get ready to take the blame for their screwups.
DOJ Main better secund some rightful attorneys to this case because I think this district is in revolt.

He’ll be hiding behind the drapes.
About those Big Fish stories, after a few tales of the big one that was almost landed, the stories aren’t interesting anymore. Show me the fish.
I dont want to hear about a big thing happening next week. Set the trap, show me the trophy. Stories are weak gruel.
So. I skimmed the story. Would have preferred to see a photo of comey in cuffs and fewer details.
Do the things, stop preening to the media.
If he is not convicted and jailed this just more deep state theatre bullshit.
This has a plea bargain and slap on the wrist written all over it.
Don’t expect prison time.
Yes. But will a jury convict him?
Seems pretty unlikely to happen in that part of the country.
Maybe Jimmy Comey could talk and we could get John Brennan.
I don’t see that happening.
Comey is convinced he is always the smartest man in any room.
I share the goal of Brennan being accountable for his crimes.
All paths lead back to the 2016/2017 coup masterminds, Obama and Hillary. IMO, Comey will “flip” on them to keep from having to be imprisoned with lots of guy who would like a piece of him.
ODNI REPORT: New Evidence Uncovers Obama-Directed Creation of False Intelligence Report Used to Launch Years-long Coup to Undermine President Trump and the American People
But the Deep State prosecutors are claiming there’s not enough evidence to convict him? Are they sure they should be the ones prosecuting?
Nothing will happen to him.
I hope the charges are sound. I don’t want this guy escaping justice.
As pleased as I will be if he is actually indicted, I wonder how successful the prosecutors will be at empaneling a jury in that part of the country that would correctly convict him.
Can federal judges set aside jury verdicts?
Yes, but only from a guilty verdict to not guilty!
Didn’t clapper lie too?
not wittingly
Memo leaked, nothing going to happy to beach walker. W/only days left to go, imagine that.

They say fear is the great motivator and that is patently clear with the presumed coming indictments of James Comey and Letitia James! To use an UFC metaphor, Trump had Pam Bondi pinned to the Octagon mat with her head in a neck crank until she finally tapped!
The former FBI Director’s indictment is coming down to the wire and doubtless Comey, Richman and Wittes were all praying nightly to the Gods of Diarrhea that Erik Siebert could stall any indictment past next Tuesday, when the statute of limitations on Jimmy’s obvious lies under oath to Congress would float away to Never Never Land.
But Siebert got the boot and Lindsey Halligan was handed the black hood and axe!
How well she wields that axe remains to be seen. The charges in her indictment must be well-articulated and gooey enough to stick throughout the long and slimy process of not only prosecuting, but convicting, this dirty former top cop of perjury in the blue Eastern District of Virginia.
Will James Comey suddenly play the Mueller card, the Biden card?
Well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.
