On September 25, 2025, a federal grand jury in Virginia returned an indictment charging former FBI Director James Comey with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding — a stunning turn for a man who long styled himself as the guardian of the Justice Department. The charges stem from his September 30, 2020 Senate testimony about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and Comey has pleaded not guilty as the case moves forward.
Comey was arraigned in early October and entered a not-guilty plea, with a trial currently scheduled for January 5, 2026; his lawyers have already signaled aggressive motions to dismiss and claims of political targeting. Whatever one thinks of Comey’s past celebrity, these are felony-level accusations that demand a courtroom where facts, not cable TV narratives, decide the outcome. The American people deserve a fair process and a full airing of evidence — not another political circus.
Conservative Americans should be clear-eyed about the context: prosecutors filed the indictment just days before a five-year statute of limitations expired, after a controversial replacement of the U.S. attorney who originally declined to bring charges. That timing and the appointment of a new, inexperienced prosecutor invites legitimate questions about process and motive from both sides of the aisle. If the Justice Department is to regain credibility, it must show this case was handled because of evidence, not because of pressure from political actors.
Patriotic conservatives see this indictment as vindication after years of weaponized investigations that upended lives and elections; President Trump and conservative commentators have publicly celebrated the move as long-overdue accountability. Newsmax guests and contributors have been blunt: this is proof the Deep State can be confronted, and that no one — not even a onetime FBI director who played politics with investigations — is above the law. For millions of Americans who watched biased institutions run rampant for years, this feels like justice catching up.
On his show, Greg Kelly didn’t mince words, calling Comey a liar and using the blunt language many of us use in private when describing a man who lied to senators while using his office for political theater. Conservatives aren’t soft about dishonesty in high places; we demand truth and consequences when corrupted officials lie under oath or leak to manipulate narratives. If Comey thinks fame and lectures absolve him, this indictment is a reminder that words have legal weight when uttered under oath.
That said, true conservatives also believe in the rule of law rather than vengeance. If the charges are weak or politically motivated, as some legal minds argue, the courts should throw them out — but if evidence proves unlawful conduct, accountability must follow regardless of the name on the letterhead. This is how a free country rebuilds trust: scrupulous fairness, rigorous fact-finding, and consequences for elites who weaponize government power.
Hardworking Americans are tired of double standards and partisan cover-ups; they want justice that’s blind and equal, not a selective rollback of accountability when political winds shift. The trial set for January 5, 2026 will be a test of whether Washington insiders are finally subject to the same laws as everyone else, or whether political theatrics continue to rule. Conservatives should stay vigilant, demand transparency, and support a legal process that puts evidence first and politics last.
