Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two counts, one for making false statements and one for obstructing justice.
Trump reacted to Comey’s indictment in a statement on Truth Social. “Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one,” Trump wrote. “There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start. Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute.”
“He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question,” he continued. “He just got unexpectedly caught. James ‘Dirty Cop’ Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT”
Comey said that he is “not afraid,” urging Americans to “vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.”
He went on to assert that he is innocent. “My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I’m innocent, so let’s have a trial and keep the faith,” he said.
The former FBI director’s son-in-law, Troy Edwards, has also resigned from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia.
