Episode notes
Comey Indicted Amid Political Pressure
- James Comey was indicted on two felonies tied to Russiagate: false statements and obstruction of justice.
- The indictment emerged amid a recent public push from President Trump urging prosecutions of his perceived enemies.
Public Presidential Intervention Preceded Charges
- Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to indict Comey and others, then replaced a US attorney with a loyalist.
- That sequence strongly suggests the prosecution followed explicit presidential intervention.
Leaks, Lies, And A Statute Clock
- The Comey charges relate to alleged leaks during the 2016 Russiagate probe and denials under oath about them.
- A looming five-year statute of limitations accelerated the timing of the indictment.
