James Comey and Letitia James’ Victory Laps Might Come to a Screeching Halt by Week’s End – RedState

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly considering bringing new charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) after a federal judge dismissed their earlier charges in November.





Comey was indicted in late September for making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation. James was indicted in early October for bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, as RedState reported last week, dismissed both cases while ruling that the acting U.S. Attorney who brought the charges, Lindsey Halligan, was unconstitutionally appointed.

The decision was not based on the merits of the case. But that didn’t stop Comey from declaring, “I’m innocent.”

James was even more celebratory in her remarks, saying, “I remain undaunted in the face of these baseless accusations as I continue to fight for New Yorkers every day.” »

But the duo’s victory laps may have been premature. Reuters reports that the DOJ “could bring new charges against Comey and James as soon as this week.”

CNN, citing sources close to the DOJ, reports that an indictment against Comey could be presented by the end of this week. At the same time, it is less clear how quickly James’ indictment could be presented.

Nonetheless, the outlet notes that “no matter what happens, prosecutors will likely present new indictments” against both men before grand juries in the Eastern District of Virginia.

FBI Director Kash Patel, in an interview with The Epoch Times last week, signaled that even if the DOJ appeals the firing, Comey could still face “many options for how to proceed” in bringing him to justice.

“So we’re not done,” Patel predicted. “I would say stay tuned right after Thanksgiving, and you’ll see multiple responses, in my opinion.”

Comey insisted during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in September 2020 that he had not “authorized anyone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in reporting” regarding the Trump Russia investigation.

His former deputy, Andrew McCabe, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said at the hearing he had “stated publicly and repeatedly that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that you had direct knowledge of it and directly authorized it.”





Asked who was lying based on these contradictions, Comey said he maintains his testimony that he had “never authorized anyone to disclose.”

President Trump, speaking hours after Comey’s initial indictment, claimed the disgraced former director got himself into trouble by making a false statement.

Meanwhile, James’ indictment centered on allegations of mortgage fraud, with evidence suggesting she made false or misleading statements in property records and loan applications.
