On September 25, 2025, a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two criminal counts: making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, accusing him of lying during his 2020 Senate testimony. The grand jury declined to return one additional count, but the message was unmistakable: a top official long lionized by the left now faces serious criminal exposure. This is not a partisan talking point — it is the result of a grand jury process that found probable cause to move forward.
The circumstances around the prosecution have been messy, and that mess exposes the rot that set in under career bureaucrats and political appointees. Career prosecutors in the Alexandria U.S. Attorney’s office reportedly balked at charging Comey, leading to the resignation of the previous lead prosecutor and the rapid installation of a new interim U.S. attorney who advanced the case. That shakeup only underscores the politicized atmosphere that has surrounded Comey since the Russia probe.
Conservative voices on outlets like Newsmax, including host Rob Finnerty, were right to point out how quickly the left rallied to defend Comey while casting the indictment as political revenge. Finnerty and other commentators rightly reminded viewers that Comey built his reputation on leaks and theatrics while operating as a partisan gatekeeper inside the federal government. Americans watching both sides see an obvious double standard: one set of rules for the permanently aggrieved, and a different standard for everyone else.
President Trump’s public pressure and celebration of the indictment has inflamed critics, but Americans weary of elites should not reflexively side with the charged just because the left defends him. The reality is simple: if a former FBI director misled Congress and obstructed oversight, accountability is not revenge — it’s the rule of law. Conservatives must insist that justice be carried out on the merits, not on political theater, and that no official be allowed to weaponize institutions without consequence.
Meanwhile, the media circus predictably swung into overdrive, gaslighting viewers about motives and process while glossing over Comey’s documented entanglements in the Russia investigation and other scandals. Reporters and Democrats rushed to paint the indictment as a constitutional crisis rather than a legal escalation grounded in testimony and documents. That reflexive defense of an anti-Trump partisan who once leaked and politicized the FBI reveals where loyalties lie: with narratives, not impartial justice.
Courtroom realities are next: Comey is expected to surrender and answer the charges in October, and a federal judge has been assigned to the case. Let the process play out, but do not let process be an excuse for moral cowardice; if the evidence supports conviction, it should be proven, and if it fails, the indictments should be dismissed. Conservatives should demand transparency at every step so that the same standards used to pursue a former director are the standards applied to everyone else, regardless of fame or media clout.
This moment is a test of whether America still means equal justice under law or whether powerful figures will be allowed to roam free under the cloak of celebrity. Patriots who love this country must cheer accountability while guarding due process, and they must hold accountable the institutions and the individuals who turned law enforcement into a political cudgel. Tune into outlets that will cover the story straight and keep pressure on officials so that from Alexandria to Main Street the same law applies to all.
