US EditionWhen It Comes to the Comey Indictment, Cartoonist Dana Summers Has Trouble Telling R’s From D’s
James Comey faces charges of making false statements to Congress and obstruction, with the indictment seen as part of efforts to address alleged politicization of federal investigations.
- Federal prosecutors charged James Comey, and a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia summoned him to appear for an Oct. 9 arraignment.
- Declassified records earlier this year highlighted alleged politicization in the Obama-era intelligence community and the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia, focusing on John Brennan, Christopher Steele and Barack Obama.
- Lindsey Halligan, interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, leads the prosecution despite no felony experience, as the grand jury approved two counts by a narrow 14 of 23 vote while declining a third amid criticism the indictment was vague.
- FBI leadership discussed a 'showy' arrest and perp walk for Comey, requesting 'large, beefy' agents, and an FBI agent who refused to assist was suspended last month.
- After staffing changes, allies hailed the indictment as proof the 'weaponization has ended,' while critics questioned the case's strength, as Lindsey Halligan replaced Erik Siebert.
