In a development that has exposed the deep-seated resistance within the judicial swamp to the agenda of President Donald J. Trump, a federal judge appointed by Bill Clinton has temporarily dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. This procedural ruling, a clear example of the establishment closing ranks, has ignited a firestorm as the disgraced Comey seized the opportunity to launch a hypocritical and scathing attack on the sitting President.
The case was dismissed without prejudice by Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, who ruled that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. The judge further claimed that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s subsequent attempts to ratify Halligan’s actions were “ineffective.” This legal technicality, exploited by a Clinton-era judge, has temporarily halted the pursuit of justice, but the White House has confirmed that the Justice Department will immediately appeal this decision.
Emboldened by this temporary shield from a friendly judge, James Comey responded with characteristic self-righteousness, posting a video to Instagram in which he lashed out at President Trump. In a stunning reversal of reality, Comey—the very official who oversaw the illegal spying on the Trump campaign based on the fraudulent Steele dossier—accused the President of weaponizing the government. “A message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies,” Comey stated, projecting his own misconduct onto the current administration.
He continued his performance, declaring, “I don’t care what your politics are, you have to see that as fundamentally un-American and a threat to the rule of law that keeps all of us free.” This statement rings hollow from the man who was found to have violated FBI policies and lied under oath to Congress about his own actions during the sham Russia collusion investigation. His posturing is a textbook example of the deep state playbook: when caught, accuse your accuser and feign martyrdom.
Comey openly admitted he expects the legal battle to continue, saying, “I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again, and my attitude is going to be the same. I’m innocent, I am not afraid, and I believe in an independent federal judiciary.” This so-called “independent judiciary” in this instance is represented by a Clinton appointee, revealing the predictable partisan alliances that continue to obstruct President Trump’s efforts to drain the swamp and hold powerful figures accountable for their past actions.
The liberal media, ever-complicit in protecting its allies, will likely frame this temporary dismissal as a vindication for Comey. However, it is merely a procedural delay in a much larger battle between the America-First agenda of President Trump and the entrenched Washington establishment that believes itself to be above the law.
