Comey vs. Trump: FBI Drama Rockets to Indictment Rocket-Docket!
In a stunning episode of political theater, October 8, 2025, saw former FBI director James Comey plead 'not guilty' to two counts of lying to Congressâcharges pushed by President Donald Trump, who replaced an entire US attorney to fast-track this indictment just before the statute of limitations expired. The 'rocket docket' of the Eastern District of Virginia is on fire with lightning-speed deadlines for pre-trial motions, including Comeyâs lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald arguing viciously about 'vindictive prosecution' and dodgy grand jury procedures. Prosecutors who refused to charge Comey got fired, since the key witness the case rests on was apparently 'fatally flawed.' The grand jury was so split that only 14 of 23 backed the counts, which is basically a political rollercoaster disguised as a courtroom drama.
