In a move that stunned the political world, a federal judge appointed by former President Bill Clinton has temporarily thrown a wrench into the effort to hold former FBI Director James Comey accountable. Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed the criminal case against Comey on a technicality—an Appointments Clause issue related to U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment—not on the actual merits of the case. The decision, issued without prejudice, offers Comey only a temporary reprieve, one the Biden Justice Department immediately rushed to leverage by announcing plans to appeal on his behalf.
Instead of meeting the development with humility, James Comey sprinted to Instagram to unleash a predictably self-righteous and deeply hypocritical tirade against President Donald J. Trump. Playing directly to the liberal media echo chamber, Comey declared, “A message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.” He added, “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.”
The gall of these statements is breathtaking. This is the same James Comey whose FBI infamously weaponized federal law enforcement against the Trump campaign using the fraudulent Steele dossier, spied illegally, and misled Congress—yet he now attempts to cloak himself in the rhetoric of justice and constitutional virtue. His sudden concern about “political targeting” rings hollow coming from a man who helped pioneer it.

Comey continued his performance with yet another melodramatic flourish, 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.” It’s a transparent ploy to recast legitimate legal scrutiny over his own conduct as partisan harassment—a narrative the corporate media is always happy to amplify when one of their ideological allies needs cover.
The White House’s confirmation that the Justice Department will appeal the dismissal underscores President Trump’s determination to ensure that even the most politically connected officials are not shielded from accountability. For Comey, this brief procedural victory is just that—brief.
