Former FBI Director James Comey was just indicted on two counts related to obstruction of justice and lying to Congress. Somewhere Lieutenant General Michael Flynn is having a fine day as he reads the headlines.
I also imagine a lot of deep-staters in DC just spit out their coffee. Washington, D.C. is “a city that floats on a rolling sea of leaks,” said legal scholar Jonathan Turley. Professional liars and leakers are surely deleting text messages and scrubbing their emails. But Comey’s indictment isn’t the only bit of courtroom karma that broke into the open in recent days.
In a landmark smackdown worthy of an MMA octagon, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis got her fanny handed to her by the Georgia Supreme Court. You remember Fani? The activist DA who so grievously committed acts of impropriety in her rushed zeal to get Trump that the only way to restore confidence in the justice system was to fully and completely remove her from the case. The Georgia Supreme Court declined to review her removal this week. Fani is off the case, never more to pursue the matter herself. I suspect the Georgia case against Trump is now over, and should never have happened at all. Fani didn’t lose her job; yet she was, in reality, fired for committing incomprehensible, impudent, unethical, and potentially illegal acts such that the senior courts in her state won’t even let her continue. No, Fani wasn’t fired. But she was torched.
On the heels of Fani’s legal demise, we also learned that disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok had his lawsuit against the government dismissed this week. Strzok was fired for cause, and rightfully so. He then alleged that his First Amendment rights were violated in his firing related in part to his texting of insults of President Trump on his official phone. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, opined clearly that Strzoks “interest in expressing his opinions about political candidates on his FBI phone at that time was outweighed by the FBI’s interest in avoiding the appearance of bias…” Strzok is done.
Nothing beats the left’s abuse of the justice system. Hunter Biden received a daddy’s pardon for anything and everything he did, or could have done, while people like Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and Michael Flynn had their lives ripped away by zealous prosecutors eager to get Trump.
And then came karma. James Comey, author of Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency, and Trust, just had his propensity for mistruth, lack of transparency, and lies questioned by a federal grand jury in a generally liberal venue. It was Comey who authorized the entrapment interview of Flynn that cost him his job as National Security Advisor and the subsequent four years of his life. By his own confession, Comey intentionally leaked classified information to outside sources to put himself in a better personal position. Comey is now accused of lying to Congress. Comey is also the man who pressed forward on the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation of the alleged Russia collusion hoax that tore our nation’s public discourse to shreds for several years despite knowing the base elements had been fabricated by and on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign — a travesty of weak evidence that could have led to any number of catastrophes on the world stage, to include war with Russia. Comey chose to wag the dog with Russia,
Russia, Russia, then he lied about it, he leaked it, wrote a book, and went on a speaking tour. Comey will get to spend his book advance on legal fees.
The left is predictably screaming that what leftwing activist prosecutors and judges have perpetrated against Trump and other conservatives for years is what we are seeing now in the opposite direction.
Trump had nothing to do with Fani Willis being removed. Her prurient lifestyle was her own undoing.
Trump had nothing to do with Peter Strzok’s case being dismissed. Strzok was just plainly and palpably wrong.
And Trump was not sitting on the grand jury in one of the most liberal districts in the nation when they handed down an indictment of James Comey after hearing the evidence, which I am sure included his own admissions of wrongdoing. Comey’s own words and that of his former co-workers are his worst enemies.
Should Trump want justice against people like Comey? Of course! Why would he not? Wouldn’t anyone who had been subject to attempted ruin want justice against their attackers? They tried to bankrupt him, jail him, dishonor him, ruin his businesses, ruin his family life. Of course, he wants evildoers to face their day in a courtroom and give account for their actions. It is disingenuous to think otherwise. This is about justice.
Comey will have his day in court. He will hire the best attorneys he can find. And I hope that when it comes time to hear a verdict that General Flynn is sitting in the gallery smiling at Comey and watching as justice comes back around and courtroom karma sets in hard.
Yeah…Fani got her fanny handed to her. Strzok was struck down. Comey came along for a perp walk. It may have all combined to save Lady Justice in the process. They all fooled around and found out about courtroom karma.
