Politico reported more on Comey’s indictment:

Federal prosecutors in Virginia have charged former FBI Director James Comey with obstruction of justice and making false statements, just days after President Donald Trump publicly implored his Justice Department to quickly seek indictments of his perceived foes and ousted a U.S. attorney who resisted.

A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, indicted Comey on Thursday on charges stemming from Comey’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020 about the FBI’s investigation into links between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. Prosecutors sought the indictment just before a Sept. 30 legal deadline that would have put criminal charges out of reach because the statute of limitations would have expired.

“No one is above the law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X shortly after word of the charges against Comey emerged. “Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”

Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia the Trump administration installed Monday, described the charges as grave because of Comey’s alleged effort to mislead Congress.
“The charges as alleged in this case represent a breach of the public trust at an extraordinary level,” Halligan said.

“The balance of power is a bedrock principal [sic] of our democracy, and it relies upon accountability and a forthright presentation of facts from executive leadership to congressional oversight. Any intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance is a violation of professional responsibility and, most importantly, the law.”
