This is a new report but builds on prior activity. Former FBI Director James Comey leaked his memos about President Trump and the FBI’s fraudulent “Crossfire Hurricane” operation to his friend Daniel Richman, with the intent of Richman leaking those memos to the media. However, when the issue was discovered James Comey claimed Daniel Richman was his lawyer in an obvious attempt to shield Richman from forced testimony about the events.
SEE Richman article from 2018 – SEE Richman article from 2017 – See Richman article from 2019
NOVEMBER 2025 – Former U.S Attorney Lindsey Halligan then took up the case and began reinvestigating in 2025. That’s why Halligan was targeted by Lawfare operatives’ intent on her removal. However, prior to her removal Mrs Halligan smartly filed a court response outlining all of the background evidence against James Comey so that prosecution could take place with/without her in place.
FOX News is now reporting that a grand jury is approving a subpoena for Daniel Richman so they can hear directly about his involvement in the activity. The events surrounding the leaking of the ‘Comey memos’ is central to the matter of the FBI targeting President Trump after he took office in 2017. The memos were being leaked in order to get support for a Special Counsel operation led by Andrew Weissmann.
Anticipating she might be removed, Halligan outlined the full extent of Comey’s action in a court filing. {SEE HERE}
In addition to refuting the effort by Comey’s lawyers to challenge her appointment [Response Here], Halligan provided evidence of James Comey’s extensive use of Daniel Richman to act as a cut out for leaks and communications with the media [Attachments HERE].
Beginning on January 2, 2015, James Comey hired Daniel Richman to be his conduit to the media for all things around the Clinton investigation. Exhibit #3 highlights Richman emails to Office of Legal Counsel, Patrick Findlay, to begin the process of officially working for Comey as a special government employee. [Attachment #3 HERE].
There are multiple exhibits highlighting emails between James Comey (aka Reinhold Niebuhr7) and Daniel Richman [HERE-4 and HERE-5 and HERE-6 and HERE-7] proving the former FBI director did intentionally direct Daniel Richman to contact media persons on his behalf and leak investigative background information, or instruct them on information, James Comey provided. The evidence on this issue is overwhelming.
Daniel Richman, working directly on the instructions of James Comey, worked closely with New York Times journalist Mike Schmidt, husband of MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, to publish material [ex. Exhibit #8]. Richman then coordinated the FBI director’s message with dozens of national journalists, writing the scripts for them to publish on behalf of James Comey [ex Exhibit #9]. Again, the evidence on this collaborative endeavor is overwhelming.
Interestingly, [Govt Exhibit #12] is the criminal complaint stemming from the FBI investigation which began on July 21, 2025. The investigative summary notes the purposeful use of Room #9582 at FBI headquarters, intended to destroy classified evidence concealed in five burn bags.
Back 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 has always been part of the Lawfare operation run by his close friend Benjamin Wittes, another of Comey’s tribe. Remember the little cannon Benjamin Wittes would use during Andrew Weissmann’s Trump-Russia investigation?

These people are this way/do this shit as a choice. Mankind would be better off if they never existed/were never born.
The devil made him do it.
Then he can go to hell.
Checkmate
Add their names to a long long list. Smiling and laughing as they blow another hole in the sinking ship of state.
Or, since they were born, mankind would be better off if they were… 86’d
It is infuriating to me that the Comey’s of the world have no respect for the people who actually ELECTED Donald John Trump to be President! Their JOB is to either support OUR directives or get the hell out of the way.
It is insulting and infuriating that these arrogant scum have, so far, gotten away scott-free with preventing OUR agenda to be executed through the President WE elected.
You can’t hate these people enough.
well, remember how they could ‘smell’ the Trump supporters at Wal-Mart. This is how they feel.
Using Trump as the target, the deep state bad actors are at war against the American citizens.
American citizens are their primary enemy. PDJT is our shield taking the hits and it is our duty to fight back.
It was an attempted coup d’état. Many people were involved. Many strategies were used. Many people need to be tried for treason by a military tribunal. Simple as that.
Saaadly this can be accomplish only in the new Constitutional Republic which we lost in 1871…JFK/RWR did try..so VSGPDJT… we know what DS done to them……wander if this two current wars is to trap him in the wars so this most important task of MAGA to restore CR … will never be accomplish…..
I certainly hope it will be “simple as that.” Nothing involving justice with our government seems to be simple or uncomplicated.
they were successful. covid, opposition targeting, mandates to filter out key careers of likemindedness, and the removal of PDJT
Invoke the Insurrection Act! More than enough evidence on the books.
Enforce the laws on the books! It is time. If we do not use the tool the Founders
enacted for just this very scenario, we will lose the republic.
Vote!

The Senate must stop the abilty to hold the appointment of federal attorneys by one Senator.
Disgusting that one Senator can hold up the Executive Branch enforcement of the law. Nevada is still without a federal attorney.
James Comey……. will he or the absolute weasel John Brennan ever see the jail their seditious behavior so richly deserves? These two would squeal like little pigs if they even thought they might face actual justice.
All seditious roads lead to Obama and his handlers.
Justice…..we’re dying for it.
“James Comey……. will he or the absolute weasel John Brennan ever see the jail their seditious behavior so richly deserves? ”
Nope, he won’t… This latest report is just more investigation, investigation, investigation ad nausea…
The Trump DOJ is still owned and operated by the dims/commies and will not file charges against ANY of the corrupt politicians that planned and executed the coup or that planned and executed the Jan 06 Entrapment scheme…
so it would appear.
until it disappears.
Breathing ceases (Justice smiles longingly towards The Creator)
You’re in a position to know this, or are you just trying to make the rest of us as negative as you are? The Very Stable Genius is a living example of where positive thinking takes a man. Try it out sometime.
You ,my friend have False hope. There are too many weasels at play here. I can name one…TILLIS.
I’mma go look at all the new pictures of Swalwell getting surrounded by feds and having his electronics devices seized at SFO.
I still think the love birds admission of having an affair was a made up cover story for both being caught with burner phones. Brendan’s burner is probably in the Potomac.
Who’s going to give up the con, though?
Reinhold Niebuhr indeed. James Comey is a pontificating buffoon and not a “great” thinker.
If James Comey is a great thinker then I am Wile E Coyote….genius……………which of course I am not.
Wile E Coyote was a great thinker. But not so great he didn’t keep getting smashed by the anvil.
Wile E Coyote was the very acme of coytes.

Thank you, Betsy. It’s been a long time since I saw that but Chappelle, in that skit, does remind me of attitude of many who come before Congress. It’s the “Yes, I’m-guilty-but-I’m-not-going-to-have-anything-happen-to me-and-I-know-it” attitude, and pretty much most American’s know they’re right.
So welcome. I’d forgotten about it until you posted; and it did make me laugh.
Still does, as we watch yet another slow motion episode of “Who Will Be First To Go to Prison?”
(I’m sure no one will…)

Ummm…… yea,….. don’t hold your breath……
On the FBEYES don’t do list. Looking at the short list here, there probably ain’t enough lawyers in the DOJ for all of it. Spit
If none of them go to jail, then many from the Trump team will — again.
Dear Bet, that was hilarious to the FIF degree!!!!!
Thank you so much, I needed a laugh such as that!
God bless you. 🙂
The Minneapolis DA arrested an ICE Agent. Does that count? 🙄
That would reeeelly be hysterical if Trump’s blond hair was on top !
Me, perfectly. But President Trump keeps plugging on.
Someday….maybe….these asshats will get theirs.
Unfortunately,
Bondi wasted over a YEAR of precious time. I grind my teeth whenever I think about that.
had forgotten her
thanks for reminding me LOL
Yea, thanks for reminding us. Now I have to wash my mouth out in order to get rid of that vrrp taste.
I grind my teeth whenever I think about President Trump letting her drag her feet for over a year…
Same thing going on now with kash…
Never have understood how a knowing and willing participant in a crime can be protected by attorney-client privilege and therefore exempted from the risk of prosecution. One or the other but not both. Comey is a real piece of work.
They are not protected in this case.
Richman was part of the crime committed by Comey. The claim of attorney-cleint privileged did not occur until after the fact of the crime.
Officers of the court (i.e. members of the legal profession) are under legal obligation to report crimes, even those committed by their clients.
That’s the problem. Many members of the legal profession (i.e. federal judges appointed by Democrats and D.A.’s bankrolled by Soros) are willing to ignore the law to help globalists/leftists/communists.
yep, the evidence showedthe intent of richman was to provide stories to the media and to not be a lawyer. comey is a weak punk that has used the legal system to protect him only
“They are not protected in this case.”
Of course they are being protected… There is enough proven evidence available to indict and arrest them all
The fact that they haven’t been indicted and arrested is prima facie evidence that they are being protected…
Because it’s considered political and properly siloed.
Big part of the DC firewall.
until there isn’t a firewall.
He tried to cover up by pretending to be Comey’s attorney, instead of his designated leaker.
On top of criminal charges he should lose his license to practice law.
yep intent was established he was a narrative provider and not a lawyer. comey has always been screwed if ever a fair jury arose
IF that big word right in the middle of life.
Scoundrels.
What’s the point? Nothing EVER leads to a jail sentence.
For example:
Deep State DOJ Gets Away with It Again – Investigation of Its Actions Targeting Catholics Ends in No Indictments
https://joehoft.com/deep-state-doj-gets-away-it-again-investigation/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=deep-state-doj-gets-away-it-again-investigation
Just read that before coming here. What scum the DOJ continues to be. Investigate and harass normal, legal citizens but ignore likely criminal activity by the well connected.
This article proves the DOJ is willing to give a green light to all government agencies who continue to do that.
its because of immunity. the federal employees are treated as part of the entity and you cant arrest the agency
If I recall, there are obligations on officers of the court (i.e. lawyers) to report felonies, even those committed by their clients.
So, it matters not if Richman was Comey’s attorney or not.
Comey “leaked” a classified document to Richman … the situation was not that Comey was in trouble and retained Richman as legal counsel.
Richman is (or at least should be) in as much trouble as Comey, for failing to “report the leak” and “not returning the document”.
If I recall, there are obligations on officers of the court (i.e. lawyers) to report felonies, even those committed by their clients.
No. The ABA Model Code (which most states have adopted) says:
Client-Lawyer Relationship
(a) A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b).
(b) A lawyer may reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary:
(1) to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm;
(2) to prevent the client from committing a crime or fraud that is reasonably certain to result in substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another and in furtherance of which the client has used or is using the lawyer’s services;
(3) to prevent, mitigate or rectify substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another that is reasonably certain to result or has resulted from the client’s commission of a crime or fraud in furtherance of which the client has used the lawyer’s services;
(4) to secure legal advice about the lawyer’s compliance with these Rules;
(5) to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy between the lawyer and the client, to establish a defense to a criminal charge or civil claim against the lawyer based upon conduct in which the client was involved, or to respond to allegations in any proceeding concerning the lawyer’s representation of the client;
(6) to comply with other law or a court order; or
(7) to detect and resolve conflicts of interest arising from the lawyer’s change of employment or from changes in the composition or ownership of a firm, but only if the revealed information would not compromise the attorney-client privilege or otherwise prejudice the client.
This only applies if the lawyer was not partner and/or witness to the commission of the crime as in this case this instance.
Richman became a witness to the crime … i.e. the transmission of the classified document by Comey.
Richman became a partner to the crime when he did not report the transmission of the document and added an additional crime when he forwarded the document to the media.
It was only after these facts that Comey and Richman tried to establish an Attorney-Client Relationship.
Even had Comey “hired” Richman as his legal counsel, after he transmitted the document … Richman was a witness to the crime and conflicted … thus under obligation to report his client.
Since Richman was both a witness and partner to the crime … ALL the above, you provided becomes invalid and moot.
The conspiracy and coverup is an ongoing crime. Points (b)(2) and (3) should apply.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if a giant hurricane hit Washington DC – and then I woke up…
Lots of FEMA fraude, sin washed away and a big old reset button for the entire despicable lot.
Can anyone clue me in to the “little cannon” referenced and pictured above. I missed class that day.☹️
Sure, JD, I will.
It was used as a not funny at all (political?) death threat aimed at our President, Donald J. Trump.
In addition I have news for those would be murderers: our President is still alive and well, and he is kicking ass, as well. Suck it, loosers.
Also, if you have a little time to spare, you can read all about that particular enemy in nearly full spectrum view seeing as Sundance graciously has placed multiple links in his post to nearly, if not all, the history and events past that have brought us here today regarding this particular matter.
Have a nice day.
some questions:
did richman have a classified clearance?
Who gave it to him?
Did richman have a need to KNOW (this is a separate but crucial factor)?
If he did not possess classified clearance, he violates several laws and could be charged.
If he does not have a “letter” with a specific principles name giving him such clearance, he violates several laws and could be charged.
His access to the information given to him would be based on a need to know. Being a lawyer in and of it self does not satisfy this factor.
Other than leaking to the press what was his role and what other purpose did he serve in the interests of the FBI, and to the significance of the classmat? being boyscouts’ lawyer alone is not sufficient. Did he provide some kind of classified material guidance that was for example used to help develop “intelligence” or analysis?
Was it his decision or the suggestions of others that had him give this classified information to a reporter?Was he directed to do so? Did he receive any kind of compensation, money or otherwise to give this information?
what other classified information did richman have access to and did he also give this to others not having classified access?
from my first reaction, I would say that richman is in deep kimchee. He looks like a rat…I know what a rat looks like and this weasel.
God Bless America
cant’ find a good analogy, but it could be similar to hiring someone to hack data for you and once you are caught you hire the hacker as lawyer to prevent them from being interviewed (or marrying them)
I know a squealer when I see them, and….
Losers who make their way through life monkeying with the law.
Not worth the oxygen they breathe.

Dirty b@sturds!
The burn bags containing all the incriminating documentary evidence, that were never burned, but hidden away in a secret room instead. I find that interesting. Probably better not to look THAT gift horse in the mouth too closely. Still, interesting. So, to whom it may concern: thank you.
Methinks these midterms are going to be a very pleasant surprise for us. Alot of work going in that would probably be stopped cold should we lose. Not because they couldn’t stop DOJ, but there would be lawfare on steroids taking all the oxygen from the room, congressional hearings every day, DOJ folks (and others, DOD, DHS, Commerce/Lutnick, called to testify every day and Trump constantly badgered.
This and a nickel will get you a cup of coffee
…in 1945. 🙂
The claim was that Ms Haligan wasn’t qualified for the job as well as unlawfully appointed.
Looks very much like she was at the least smarter & more qualified than her detractors.
Hang ‘em all.
Indeed. Don’t let the good looks fool you.
I look at those two, Comey and Richman and wonder whether “advisor” is the correct word for their relationship
The first thing the TRUMP Administration should have done was remove EVERYONE’s security clearance and begin one by one adding only trusted AMERICANS.
Also, how does this security clearance seem to go on indefinitely????
President Trump could have helped Tulsi by cancelling the security clearances of the traitors in our intelligence agencies… But instead, he let her “Twist in the wind”…
Bye bye Boom Boom Benny. Get in line with your butt buddies Comey, Weissmann, Richmond, et al.
Burn bags meant to be burned but were not burned found hidden in a room meant to store burn bags. Someone knew what they were doing and what they were doing had a purpose.
I hope one day I get to hear about Comey getting 86ed in prison.
The 4th circuit is slated for opening arguments in the Comey-James dismissal cases, that starts on 9/15/2026.
Many Amicus Curiae briefs filed in response to the government’s opening brief to the court, entry 21.
The briefs are for the government, most of them. A few of Comey/James side filed, but didn’t bother to file a response.
The governments question.
“ Do any cases pending in this court or the Supreme Court of the United States raise similar issues? NO..”.
Should be interesting, what the court determines.

And my blood starts boiling.
Richman looks like the shorn lesbian staffer that always sat behind Sen. Feinstein during Judiciary Committee Hearings……( similar to the dark haired wan-complexion official in the Bunker in “Downfall” with the trenchcoat who leans back “whoa” style when Hitler orders certain officers to stay with him..)
Severe testosterone deficiency in the whole bunch!
Finally…..it’s been 9 years!!!
In a quite probably related development, Nicolle Wallace has been mysteriously absent from her MS NOW program for more than a week. I suspect there’s some lawyering up going on at the Schmidt-Wallace residence along with stocking up on Depends and Pepto-Bismal.
As for me, I’m stocking up on popcorn and champagne.

Amazing how President Donald Trump smoked out the rank bottom dwelling maggots’ and parasites who have been there all along.
😎 😎 😍 😉 👌 👍
Let the Tribunals Begin!.
I remember seeing a photo a few weeks after Comey was fired of him walking in the New York Times building. I never believed he was there for some “charity event”. That was the front excuse.
I haven’t heard this at all anywhere. I wonder why? I’m scrolling down and see this. Hmmmm.
So to be clear, Comey, the former head FBI flunky was sneaky enough to create a fake email account to email a leaker for Lawfare purposes, who he then named as his lawyer, and ultimately named him as a Special Government Employee…
…didn’t know what 8647 meant?
Over many years of watching DC and the rats infesting it, it is infuriating to watch these vile scum play the “I’m so stupid” act and authorities let them get away with it.
Comey and his poodle Professor Richman should be tried for treason.
He must get nailed and Comey along with him. Looks like the government is building a case from the bottom up. WE MUST WIN THE MIDTERMS if we want to see these lying scum in prison. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO VOTE. The wheels of justice turn slowly — but they’re turning.
I’m amazed that the FBI keeps “finding” documents in “hidden rooms” in “Burn bags”. How does this make any sense? What exactly is a “hidden room” in a building that was built in the early 1970s? Aren’t the rooms numbered? Are there cubby holes secreted around the building so Hunter Biden can stroll in and stash a bag of cocaine in one? Is this a smoke screen to hide incompetence or to shield guilty FBI agents? Why weren’t the documents destroyed as planned? None of this has ever made sense to me. I smell a rat. Big blue rat. Kash Patel: Come out of the gym and provide answers to We The People. aka US taxpayers
Oh say can we finally see Comey swinging in the breeze.
