Comey Faces Indictment, but His Real Crimes Remain Untouched

Victor Davis Hanson  

"The final irony? All of them have posed as our moral censors, whether peddling the Russian collusion hoax, the laptop disinformation caper, or the lawfare walls-are-closing-in-on-Trump farces."

"We have no idea whether the current DOJ indictments will lead to a conviction of James Comey, namely that he authorized FBI subordinates to leak to the media and then lied about it, obstructing Congress in the process.

"It may come down to the word of Comey, a known fabricator, against the testimony of his former subordinate, Andrew McCabe, an admitted liar. Take your pick.

"We know, however, that Comey is not facing a Trumpian $500 million in potential fines, nor 93 indictments, nor the scrutiny of five different local, state, and federal prosecutors. Nor, like some of the J6 arrested, will he be sent to solitary confinement to await a trial in a year or two or be charged with “illegal parading.”

"We also know of the crimes or unethical conduct for which James Comey is not currently being indicted or investigated.

"He is not being charged with pleading amnesia or ignorance in 2018—e.g., “I didn’t know,” “I couldn’t recall,” “I didn’t remember”—a reported 245 times while under oath to House investigators and misleading them.

"He is not being charged with leaking in 2017 a confidential FBI memo of a conversation with then President Trump—which he improperly stored in his personal safe, in violation of FBI protocols—to the New York Times via a third-party Columbia professor.

"He is not being charged for falsely assuring the President of the United States in 2017 that he was not the object of the current Crossfire Hurricane “Russian collusion” investigation—when, in fact, Trump, as the Mueller investigation revealed, was the real target of almost that entire ruse.

"He is not being charged for deliberately leaking an FBI memo of a conversation with President Trump for the purpose of injuring him by prompting the appointment of his friend and predecessor, Robert Mueller, as a special counsel to investigate the supposed crimes of Donald Trump. Comey’s gambit resulted in a 22-month and $30 million administration hiatus, only to find no actionable wrongdoing by Trump.

"He is not being investigated for usurping the role of the DOJ in 2016 when, as an FBI investigator, he served simultaneously as investigator and prosecutor, creating a conflict of interest.

"He was tasked with both finding evidence of Hillary Clinton’s alleged wrongdoing and also making the federal prosecutorial decision whether to indict her for transmitting classified material over an unsecured email server. And after finding evidence of her culpability, he chose not to indict her on the grounds that her candidacy at the time meant no reasonable prosecutor (of which he was then not supposed to be one) would bring such a case against her." . . . More.

They deserve peace, and they rightfully expect us to deliver it.   Our number one job, of course, is to be strong so that we can prevent war in the first place. The President talks about it all the time.

"It was quite a week. The biggest story was the indictment of James Comey, about which I have reservations. But the indictment was a boon to memesters, who recalled Comey’s earlier art project featuring seashells.

"Much more happened, too. The Trump administration adopted recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health on the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, which were immediately denounced by leftists, even though it turned out that the manufacturer of Tylenol said the same thing.

Newsom Attacks Stephen Miller, Calls Him ‘A Fascist’

His speech about conquering our enemies and saving the West was amazing and I can see why that scares communists pic.twitter.com/tULU4saQHx

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) launched an attack on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, labeling him “a fascist,” in a social media post." . . .

"Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak reported that in an X post from Monday, Newsom “launched an antisemitic attack” on Miller, who is Jewish. In Newsom’s post, he “referred to Miller as ‘SS,’ using an acronym for the Schutzstaffel, the elite Nazi corps:”

The epithet came in a post on X by the “GovPressOffice” account, the official public account of the governor’s press office, which alternates between serious information and attempts to troll President Donald Trump.

The all-caps posting referred to Miller as “SS,” using an acronym for the Schutzstaffel, the elite Nazi corps that was primarily responsible for the murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust. Miller is Jewish.

Several people responded to Newsom’s post, calling Miller a “fascist” and for Newsom to “stop.” Others criticized Newsom for “inciting violence.”

“You’ve got to stop this,” Andrew Kolvet, the executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show wrote in a post.

Newsom Spends Entire Day Defending ‘Fascist’ Attack on Miller  

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) spent all day on social media Saturday, defending his incendiary claim that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is a “fascist.”

"Newsom decided to call Miller a “fascist” just days after the same accusation was carved into the bullet casings apparently used in the assassination Charlie Kirk. He had also called Miller, who is Jewish, “SS” — a reference to the Nazis who led the Holocaust.

"As Breitbart News reported, several prominent commentators called on Newsom to stop the hateful rhetoric, including Andrew Kolvet, who co-hosted Kirk’s radio show and was close to the late conservative leader.

"But Newsom persisted, and spent the entire day on Saturday defending and doubling down on “fascist.”

"Often, Newsom appeared to imitate President Donald Trump’s rhetorical style, as he has done in the past." . . .

Gavin Newsom’s New Low; He will stop at no cost.

 The American Spectator   

"Gavin Newsom’s track record of brazen and unconstitutional efforts to undermine other states’ bans on abortions suggests that, if he was elected president, he would push to force red states to allow abortions up to the point of birth."

"Gavin Newsom has a sick obsession. It is the foundation upon which his entire governing philosophy rests, the animating principle behind all that he does.

"It is a philosophy of death: He is driven to do everything within his power to bring about the murdering of unborn children. This desire for death extends far beyond ensuring that young Californians can be killed up to the moment of birth. It reaches the point that he actively seeks to increase the number of out-of-state killings — even if his tactics violate the Constitution.

"And now, the governor has a new method to enable the large-scale slaughter of unborn children outside his own state’s boundaries. He will aid and abet criminal doctors trafficking in the murder of babies by allowing them to leave off their identifying information from the abortion drugs they ship nationwide en masse. On Friday, he signed a law that will allow abortion pills to be dispensed without the name of the doctor who prescribed it, the person who receives it, or the pharmacy where the medication comes from.

"A pipeline of untraceable drugs that stop unborn children’s beating hearts will now flow freely from California. We will not know who is responsible for this illegal drug trade, only that Gavin Newsom has chosen to enable this criminal activity, so determined is he that these actors kill more and more babies.

"In one sense, Newsom’s new law is a tacit admission that so-called “shield laws,” which purport to protect doctors who illegally ship abortion drugs out of state, are unconstitutional and will not hold up.

"Such laws, including several in California signed by Newsom, claim to protect from extraditions and lawsuits those who kill unborn children in places where this is outlawed. But these laws clearly violate the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Extradition Clause of the Constitution, because they do not give “full faith and credit” to other states’ judicial proceedings. And they violate the Extradition Clause as well, because they claim to prevent the extradition of persons to the states where they are accused of committing crimes. As a number of state attorneys general put it, shield laws “are blatant attempts to interfere with States’ ability to enforce criminal laws within their borders and disrupt our constitutional structure.”

"This new law will allow Newsom to hide these rings of unborn child killers from justice and responsibility. Thus, the new law is a declaration that, even if the Supreme Court holds that California must give “full faith and credit” to other states’ judicial proceedings, California won’t care and will instead build up covert networks that are enabled to kill more and more." . . . More

Supporters Ask Gavin Newsom To Stop Doing Meth Before Posting On Social Media

   "According to sources, Newsom, who has taken to modeling his own life after Trump, began taking meth in an effort to keep up with Trump's chaotic social media schedule. "The man never sleeps. I need something to give me a little more edge," Newsom reportedly confided in his wife shortly before ranting on social media in all caps about how everyone who wants to shut down illegal immigration is a literal Nazi from 1940's Germany."

The legacy left by Democrat presidents

" Presidential libraries serve as a historical marker, and in President Reagan's case, a monument to one of the most effective, transformative presidents of the 20th century. President Reagan was instrumental in bringing the Cold War to an end by facing down the Soviet Union. His policies ushered in a generation of American prosperity. His presidential library reflects that."  RedState

Taxpayers May Now Be Footing the Bill for the Obama Library – RedState

Obama Library Funds Are Secretly Flowing to Dark Money Networks – PJ Media  . . . "While community members struggle, insiders at the Obama Foundation are doing just fine. The foundation’s CEO, Emeka Jarrett, earned over $750,000 last year. The executive vice president, Rob Cohen, pocketed nearly $650,000, and also maintains ties to the Pritzker Realty Group. His connection to Penny Pritzker—sister to Governor J.B. Pritzker—only highlights the tangled web of Democratic powerbrokers who are thriving while the project supposedly dedicated to “the people” spirals out of control.

 . . . "This entire project reeks of the kind of carefully crafted con job only career political operators could pull off. Sell it as a beacon of unity, then funnel millions to radical, antisemitic causes, all while insiders pocket obscene salaries. It’s a true reflection of the same kind of corruption that plagued Obama’s presidency." 

"The Obama Presidential Center is a $615 million con, funneling money to radical causes and insider salaries."

Money donated to build Obama library being sent on to politically charged Tides group   . . . "Tides Foundation — also funded by Democratic mega-donor George Soros — is a network that operates as a fiscal sponsor for groups that have not registered with the IRS as charities." . . .

Obama’s final booby trap  "In the final days of the Obama presidency — while Americans were focused on inaugurating a new president and turning the page on a divisive era — President Barack Obama signed a quiet but sweeping executive order that many now see as a ticking time bomb planted in the heart of our Intelligence Community."

. . . "Conservatives must never forget this moment.  Executive orders may not make headlines, but their impact can reshape the Republic.  The next time a “national security” measure is rolled out in the dead of night, we should all ask: Who gains power — and who loses his freedom?

Father Of Murder Victim Unloads On Dems’ Soft-On-Crime Policies: ‘You Pissed Off the Wrong Daddy!’

  Debra Heine  

“ 'Please! You have the power. We put you in power to do what you have to do. We’re asking you, we’re begging you all, to stop this!” Federico said, adding that was no good reason why someone who had committed 25 felonies would be walking the streets."

"In emotionally fraught testimony Monday, Steve Federico, father of a young woman who was brutally murdered by a black career criminal in South Carolina, pleaded with Democrats to stop protecting dangerous criminals with soft-on-crime policies.

"The House Judiciary Committee held a field hearing in Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday, to “examine violent crime in Charlotte, North Carolina and the surrounding areas looking at repeat offenders and lenient pretrial release policies and decisions among others.”

"The man’s daughter, Logan Federico, 22, was fatally shot in the chest by Alexander Dickey, 30, during a home invasion on May 3, 2025.  She had been visiting friends at a rented property in Columbia, South Carolina at the time of the execution-style murder.  “When I tell you this story, think about your kids,” her father said, his voice trembling with raw emotion.

" 'Think about your child coming home from a night out with their friends, laying down, going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and wake them and drag her out of bed, naked, forced on her knees, with her hands over her head! Begging for her life, begging for her hero, her father—ME!—that couldn’t be there,” Federico testified.

" '“She was five foot three, she weighed 115 pounds … BANG! … dead, gone!” he cried.  “Why?  Because Alexander Devante Dickey, who was arrested 39 G-d damn times—25 felonies!—was on the street. How about that?!”

"Addressing the committee members,  Federico asked, “how good are we doing for out families? How good are you doing for your kids?”

"The father added: “He should have been in jail for over a 140 years for all the crimes he’d committed. You know how much time he spent in prison? A little over 600 days in ten years.”

"Federico noted that Dickey had been “committing 2.6 crimes a year since he was 16-years-old” but nobody had figured out that he couldn’t be rehabilitated." . . . More.

Why Won’t More Feminists Speak Up For Israeli Victims of Sexual Violence?

On March 11, Pramila Patten, the United Nations’ special representative of the secretary-general on sexual violence in conflict, presented a report to the U.N. Security Council on her fact-finding mission to Israel and the Palestinian territories regarding the events of Oct. 7, 2023. Her mission, she stated, “threw light on the indiscriminate and coordinated attacks by Hamas and other armed groups against multiple military and civilian targets, aimed to kill, to inflict suffering and abduct the maximum number possible of men, women, and children—soldiers and civilians alike—in the minimum possible amount of time.” . . .Paywall after this.

"The more this is publicised the better. Very important. Those who stand up for “Palestine and it’s despotic Hamas regime” should be made to watch these videos and made to hear what is written in the writings of Islam, and what Muslims are taught and believe in, fundamentally, about ridding all people who are not of their regime of hatred, destruction and death hell whether they want to or not. Their human rights have been forfeited because of their wilful ignorance."

The Worst News Outlet of the Week - Who Dominated in Dysfunctional Coverage?

RedState

"THE CONTENDERS

ABC News – The network brought back Jimmy Kimmel, launching a week of incessant and pedantic news coverage. On GMA, George Stephanopoulos berated Marco Rubio over USAID cuts that are supposedly starving foreign children. In coverage of the looming government shutdown, David Muir gave Democrats plenty of coverage, yet no Republicans were quoted.

New York Times – In a lengthy editorial, the paper repeated the long-disproven canard that you cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater. This stunted take is made worse because it came from the editorial board. There was a sympathetic piece on a book author whose appearance was cancelled, as they ignored her virulent anti-Jewish comments, sparking the decision. 

CNN – Jake Tapper was on with NBC late-night host Seth Meyers and said he never saw silencing efforts like he's seeing with Trump from a president before; it stands as another story he missed during the Biden years. Kasie Hunt claimed she is not in the practice of making political statements. Stelter thought it was a brilliant take to say that after seven days of full-bore media promotions, Jimmy Kimmel was more popular than a week earlier. CNN noted in a Chyron that Trump was seeking revenge, calling it extraordinary when the use of revenge indicated it had taken place previously.  

NBC News – The network instigated outrage with a false claim that ICE agents were using a 5-year-old child as bait to detain the father. On “Meet the Press,” they tried to sell how the actions of the four-time-indicted President Trump are “extraordinary.” The network kept blowing smoke about the motivations of the Dallas ICE sniper.

"THE WINNER   "More than just disturbing coverage, the soon-to-be-renamed news network earned its recognition with the sheer volume of mentally-impacted offerings.

"Kamala Harris was on with Rachel Maddow, and the avowed gay hostess seemed fine with the former vice president explaining why she did not choose a gay running mate. 

"The neutered Chris Murphy was brought on to decry the Comey indictment, implying that this is all novel activity from the DOJ. 

"On one panel, they tried to instigate a rebellion inside the DOJ over actions involving a man who has not been there for eight years. 

"Scar-Joe also called Comey a “martyr.” 

"Ken Dilanian tried to gaslight by saying Biden had no involvement in the four Trump indictments. 

"The network’s FBI expert tried to say the ICE sniper writing on bullets matches a white supremacist, from six years ago, in another country; this being the fourth Leftist to do so this year had to be ignored. 

"Katy Tur brought on Julia Ainsley, who suggested ICE agents are in more danger for wearing masks.

Deja Vu: German Pizzeria Owner Bans Israelis From Restaurant

 "Furthermore, the vast majority of the aid that enters Gaza is stolen by the terrorist organization Hamas. According to the United Nations' own reports, Hamas has stolen nearly 90 percent of all the aid that has entered Gaza since the war began."

"First, a Flensburg shop drew outrage for banning Jews. Now a celebrated Fürth pizzeria has posted a notice banning Israelis. Here is the owner's background and how the story unfolded.

"Fifty-year-old Gaspare Squitieri was born and raised in the small town of Sarno, Italy, 21 miles east of Naples. Squitieri has been working in the pizza business since he was 13 years old. He has lived in Germany since at least 2014, where he teaches professional pizza courses at Accademia della Pizza Deutschland in Nuremberg.

"Gaspare Squitieri opened his pizzeria in partnership with Matteo Celentano in Fürth, Germany, on October 20, 2019, under the name Naples - authentic Neapolitan Pizza. Squitieri and Celentano parted ways in 2021, and Squitieri renamed his establishment Pizza Zulu. The pizzeria relocated to its current address, Königstraße 81, in September 2023. The logo above the door features an illustration of Squitieri with a beard and bald head. Squitieri has earned a reputation as one of the best pizza chefs in the world. In 2023, Pizza Zulu was ranked as the best pizza in Germany, 5th best in Europe, and 32nd best in the world.

"Then, on Wednesday, September 24, everything changed when Squitieri posted, in plain view of all the customers, a sign on the restaurant's wall noticeboard that banned Israelis from his establishment. Suddenly, Pizza Zulu's hard‑won reputation for culinary excellence was no longer the focus." . . .

FBI SWAT teams busted into the homes of ordinary families in predawn raids to make it clear to MAGA Americans that — unlike Antifa and Black Lives Matter members — conservatives enjoy no “privilege” to protest official authorities in the United States. 

. . . "How could people at the height of their professions possibly describe the indictment of Jim Comey as “unprecedented”?  Americans for the last ten years have witnessed abject weaponization of the Justice Department and Intelligence Community against Donald Trump, his associates, and his supporters.  Hillary Clinton’s inner circle and Barack Obama’s trusted lieutenants co-opted  the FBI and CIA in an effort to frame Donald Trump as a Russian spy, remove him from office, and perhaps even convict him for treason.  Jim Comey was instrumental in this nefarious plot.  As journalist Matt Taibbi said the other day, “think of the national security implications of implying that your own president is a spy for a foreign country. ... You can’t have an FBI director doing ... these sorts of manipulations and lying to Congress about it and getting away with it.”

"Yet the Russia Collusion Hoax was only one part of a decade-long effort to destroy Trump and his MAGA movement.  Democrat saboteurs working for the U.S. military and CIA turned a normal conversation with the president of Ukraine into Trump’s first impeachment.  Then the FBI and DOJ labeled the January 6, 2021 protest against election fraud an “insurrection” — laying the grounds for Congress to pursue a truly unprecedented post-presidential impeachment.  For years, FBI director Chris Wray lied to Congress and the American people about the presence of federal law enforcement officers near the Capitol that day.  Only in 2025 have we now learned that nearly three hundred plainclothes FBI agents were on the ground during the protest, along with dozens of informants and an unknown number of other federal and local agents, all possibly stirring up mayhem." . . .

Michigan church shooting leaves 4 dead, suspect identified as 40-year-old man  "Sadly, the spate of mass shootings we’ve been seeing in this country continued Sunday morning, as at least 10 people were shot and two killed in a nightmarish shooting at an LDS church in Michigan."

"Authorities are still working to recover additional victims after a violent attack on a Mormon church in Michigan left at least four people dead on Sunday.

"Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, of Burton, Michigan, is accused of ramming his truck into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, just before 10:30 a.m. Police said he then got out of the truck and started firing on churchgoers with a rifle. About 150 people were attending services at the time. Police said Sanford then used an accelerant, likely gasoline, to set the church on fire. Sanford was shot and killed by police. 

"Police confirmed that four people have died. Seven others are in stable condition, and one remains in critical condition. Two victims were killed by gunfire while the other two were found after the fire. 

President Trump posted:

"The FBI was immediately on scene, and will be leading the Federal Investigation, and providing full support to State and Local Officials," Trump wrote. "The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. The Trump Administration will keep the Public posted, as we always do. In the meantime, PRAY for the victims, and their families. THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!"

"On September 28, 2025, a devastating attack shook Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, when 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, a U.S. Marine veteran, crashed his Chevy Silverado into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, opened fire, killed two, injured nine, and set the building ablaze. This true crime documentary dives into the chaos of the assault, from shattered glass and gunfire to the discovery of pipe bombs wired with nails.
