Former FBI director is indicted four days after the President posted that the DOJ should move 'now.'

Pay attention. This one is the one. This one I am writing slowly because you have to follow the order of operations.

Step one. Saturday, September 20. The President posts on Truth Social, in capital letters, a long demand that the Department of Justice needs to act NOW against his perceived enemies. He names them. James Comey. Letitia James. Adam Schiff. The post is on file. The capitals are in the post.

Step two. The interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, a man named Erik Siebert, had been reviewing the Comey matter and had reportedly recommended against charging. Recommended against. On the merits. Because the case is weak. The five-year statute of limitations was running out September 30 on the underlying 2020 testimony.

Step three. Same week, the President pushes Siebert out. Siebert resigns. The President names a replacement: Lindsey Halligan. Halligan is the President’s former personal lawyer. Has never tried a federal criminal case. Was, in the President’s first term, on the legal team that handled the Mar-a-Lago documents matter from the defense side.

Step four. Thursday, September 25. Five days after the Truth Social post. Four days after the Halligan installation. Halligan presents the case to a federal grand jury in Alexandria. The grand jury, which would charge a turkey if you asked nicely, does not even unanimously return all the counts requested. Three counts requested. Two returned. Halligan signs the indictment, personally.

Step five. Comey is indicted on one count of making a false statement to Congress and one count of obstructing a congressional proceeding. The false statement is from a 2020 Senate hearing. The obstruction is from the same hearing.

Buddy. Five steps. From a Truth Social post on Saturday to a federal indictment on Thursday. Five. By a personal lawyer of the same man who wrote the post.

I have run a casino floor. I have seen casino floor jurisdictional disputes that took five years. The Department of Justice, the largest prosecutor’s office on earth, the office whose entire brand is we follow the law and not the politics, charged the man the President named on Saturday by Thursday.

Senator Lisa Murkowski, who is not a hyperbolic woman, said on the record that overt political pressure from the White House leads to unusual personnel changes and criminal charges filed just days after the President calls for them. That is on the Senate record. Republican senator. Five days.

I’m arguing with the television. The television is showing the clock.
