MAJOR BREAKING: James Comey to be Indicted in Coming Days

According to MSNBC, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Lindsey Halligan served as one of President Trump’s personal lawyers during the unconstitutional raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Per MSNBC reporter Ken Dilanian:

Former FBI Director James Comey, for years the target of President Trump’s ire, is expected to be indicted in the coming days in the Eastern District of Virginia, where a prosecutor who opposed bringing the case was recently fired, three sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC.

The full extent of the charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that at least one element of the indictment—if it goes forward–will accuse him of lying to Congress during his testimony on September 30, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information. The five year statute of limitations on that charge would lapse on Tuesday.

Newly declassified memos reveal James Comey’s secret media mole, Daniel Richman, leaked classified information to The New York Times’s Michael Schmidt to help push for a special counsel in May 2017.

It was previously reported that James Comey penned nine memos stemming from his conversations with President Trump – and then leaked them through his Columbia University law professor ‘friend’ Daniel Richman.

The leaks ultimately worked. On May 17, 2017, then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller to serve as Special Counsel to investigate the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

On September 30, 2020, James Comey testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation. Investigators say Comey lied about whether he authorized leaks.

The indictment would have to be handed down before the five-year statute of limitations expires.

Last week, it was reported that James Comey’s secret media mole, Daniel Richman, had been subpoenaed in a federal investigation into the leaks.
