In a very funny turn of events, President Donald Trump has started getting revenge against the Deep State that did so much to harm him in his first administration, starting with former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, who was indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday, September 25.
For reference, Comey was indicted on two charges, one of which was making false statements to Congress and the other of which was obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The charges stem from Mr. Comey’s allegedly false testimony about the FBI’s involvement in the 2016 Russia Hoax and related investigation before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 30, 2020.
Posting about the news around when it was released, President Trump said, “JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI. Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Then, in another post on the morning of Friday, September 26, the president said, “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. 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.”
He added, “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 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”
In response to the news that he had been indicted, Mr. Comey released a video in which he looked panicked and claimed that he was fighting for freedom. He began, “My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way.”
Continuing to defend his lie-telling in dramatic fashion, Comey said that he was standing up to tyranny, claiming, “We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right, but I’m not afraid, and I hope you’re not either.”

He concluded, “I hope instead you are engaged, you are paying attention, and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it which it does. 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.”
