Comey Indicted: FBI Drama Hits Final Season Cliffhanger
In a plot twist neither Hollywood nor Washington could script better, James Comey â yes, the former FBI Director with a dossier thicker than a New York Polaroid album â got indicted last Thursday in Virginia, charged with lying to Congress and obstruction related to the legendary Russiagate saga. This all kicked off just before the statute of limitations clock expired, arguably the most suspenseful courtroom episode since 'Survivor: DC Edition.' Donald Trump, still dedicated Truth Social user and ex-president, labeled Comey 'one of the worst human beings' and rejoiced like he found an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Trumpâs ousting of U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who sensibly declined charges against Comey and Letitia James, was the ultimate power move, replacing him with Lindsey Halligan, a former personal lawyer whoâs now the acting U.S. Attorney for Virginiaâs Eastern Districtâbecause nothing says 'justice' like appointing your past lawyer to prosecute your current nemesis. Comey's 2017 firing, originally on Clinton's email chaos but confessionally because of Russiagate, led to Muellerâs special counsel gigâa legal season packed with more twists than a binge-worthy Netflix series, yet with zero criminal conspiracy charges. Meanwhile, Comey leaked memos, got grilled by Republicans alleging dishonesty, and insisted on his truthfulness. His next cameo? A federal court in Virginia, where he'll face the music. Tune in for this never-ending saga that's part political thriller, part soap opera, and entirely America.

James Comeyâs latest plot twist: indicted for fibbing to Congress just in time before expiration. Trump calls him one of the worst humans like he's reading Yelp reviews of DCâs rotten apples. Legal drama hotter than a meltdown at a MAGA rally.
Comey finally gets indicted, proving DC dramas have longer shelf lives than avocados. Trump replaces smart skeptics with his ex-lawyersâbecause who needs impartiality when you have loyalty on speed dial?
If FBI leadership were a sitcom, Comey just got canceled in season finale style. Trumpâs firing spree looks more like a political Hunger Games, but instead of arrows thereâs subpoenas and tweets.
