The news that former FBI director James Comey has been criminally indicted is vindication for millions of Americans who watched the intelligence bureaucracy operate with impunity for years. Federal prosecutors in Virginia have charged Comey with making false statements and obstruction related to his 2020 testimony — a serious development that can no longer be brushed off as partisan noise.
This indictment follows a careful grand-jury process and comes after long-simmering questions about leaks and inconsistent public statements from the highest levels of the FBI. Prosecutors allege Comey lied to Congress and obstructed a congressional proceeding, accusations rooted in the very testimony he gave during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings — matters that the public has a right to see resolved in court.
That these charges were filed only after persistent pressure from the White House and a shake-up in the Eastern District of Virginia shows how entrenched the resistance inside the DOJ had been to holding powerful figures accountable. Critics will scream “political retribution,” but the American people want equal justice under the law — not one set of rules for the ruling class and another for the rest of us.
On Newsmax’s Sunday Agenda with host Lidia Curanaj, Rudy Giuliani drew on decades of prosecutorial experience to put the Comey indictment in plain English for viewers — accountability, he said, is overdue for those who weaponized institutions against political opponents. Newsmax has long provided a platform for conservative voices to press for oversight and truth, and Giuliani’s appearance underscored a conviction many of us share: the investigators must themselves be investigated.
Giuliani didn’t suddenly change his tune — he’s been loudly skeptical of Comey for years, calling out leaks, inconsistent testimony, and behavior unworthy of an FBI director, and he’s not alone among conservatives who have long demanded answers. This moment isn’t about celebration of politics; it’s about restoring the rule of law and ending the double standard where elites evade consequences while regular citizens face penalties.
Of course the left and legacy media will portray this as “vendetta justice,” and some establishment commentators will wring their hands about precedent. Those warnings can be noted without ignoring the basic fact: no one should be above the law, and if evidence shows a public official lied to Congress, the nation must see a transparent legal process proceed. The debate now should be about facts and fairness, not reflexive defense of a protected class.
Patriotic Americans who love this country want institutions that protect liberty, not personal power. Let the courts run their course, let the evidence be aired, and let reforms follow so future FBI directors think twice before playing political games. We should all be unified in demanding fairness, accountability, and a restoration of trust in the rule of law that keeps our republic strong.
