The long-awaited indictment of James Comey finally landed this week, and patriots everywhere are breathing a collective sigh of relief that powerful figures may no longer be immune from consequences. Federal prosecutors charged the former FBI director with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding over his September 30, 2020 testimony about unauthorized leaks.
This is not a trivial notebook entry — the indictment centers on Comey’s contradictory claims about authorizing an anonymous leak to the press, a contradiction that critics have said for years smelled like a cover-up. The prosecution was rushed to beat the five-year statute of limitations, and the maneuvering inside the Eastern District of Virginia, including the replacement of the original prosecutor, laid bare how politically charged this decision has been.
For conservatives who have watched the deep state run roughshod over ordinary Americans, this feels like overdue accountability rather than petty revenge. President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s allies publicly pressed for action, and that pressure finally translated into a criminal charge — a sign that the people who weaponized institutions against conservatives might at last answer for their conduct.
That said, skeptics on the left are already crying “political weaponization,” and some career prosecutors reportedly balked at this move. Those concerns deserve scrutiny, but they do not erase the principle that lying under oath is a felony no matter who commits it; equal justice must mean equal consequences. The grand jury declined to indict on one of the counts presented, showing the system still weighs evidence, and Comey now faces a legal day in court.
Meanwhile, the hypocrisy of Big Tech screams from the rooftops: platforms that mercilessly deplatformed conservative voices in past years are now touting comebacks and selective “reinstatements” as if nothing happened. YouTube’s recent statements about allowing previously banned creators back while having ripped pages like Alex Jones’ from the internet years ago show a double standard that must be exposed and ended.
Hardworking Americans deserve institutions that are fair, not instruments for settling political scores or protecting the powerful. Conservative commentators should not cheer every prosecution out of tribal interest, but they should insist on accountability and demand that the same standards apply to everyone — from deep-state operatives to tech monopolies to corporate gatekeepers who silence dissent. This moment can be a turning point if patriots remain vigilant and insist that justice be blind, not partisan.
Now is the time for principled conservatives to press for real reforms: clear rules that prevent political interference in prosecutions, transparency from tech platforms about content decisions, and a justice system that punishes perjury irrespective of party. If we want to rebuild trust in our institutions, we must back the rule of law and hold elites accountable rather than celebrating selective enforcement when it suits our team.
