JUST IN: FBI Agent FIRED For Refusing to Arrest & Perp Walk James Comey After Indictment


Ever since disgraced ex-FBI Director James Comey was indicted, many folks have been wondering why he wasn’t subject to the same humiliating treatment that countless Trump allies had to endure under the Biden regime?

You know, why didn’t the FBI barge into his home, cuff, and perp walk him on the spot?

Just like what happened to Roger Stone, for instance:

Well, it turns out that the FBI may be planning on doing something along those lines.

However, the FBI agent who was asked to arrange for Comey’s arrest and perp walk flat-out refused — and was subsequently fired for his refusal!

Here’s what we know:

We don’t know exactly when or how the arrest and perp walk that this FBI agent refused to do would have gone down.

Previously, all we had been told was that Comey was expected to turn himself in this upcoming Thursday, October 9th.

Reuters was the first to report on this latest development:

An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.
Comey was charged on September 25 with making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation, in a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump’s retribution campaign against his political enemies.

MSNBC also confirmed the report:

The FBI is still reportedly considering made a show of Comey’s arrest sometime before his scheduled court appearance.

Per CBS News:

The FBI is considering carrying out a “showy” arrest and perp walk of the agency’s now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, and has suspended an agent who refused to participate in the plan, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.Comey was charged last week with lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, an unprecedented move that came after President Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into his longtime adversary. A grand jury voted to indict him on Sept. 25 and hours later, Comey was issued a summons directing him to appear in federal court in northern Virginia for an Oct. 9 arraignment. His lawyers agreed to bring him to his arraignment, two sources said.But on the same day as his indictment, FBI leadership discussed hauling Comey in instead of waiting for the ex-FBI chief to report to court on his own, a source knowledgeable about the conversions told CBS News.

The source told CBS News that leadership asked for “large, beefy” agents to conduct an arrest of Comey “in full kit,” including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo. It was suggested that Chris Ray, a supervisory special agent in the violent crimes division of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, would be able to put together the kinds of agents who fit the bill, the source said.

Ray refused to participate in this plan, believing it would be inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey, according to the source. He was then suspended for insubordination.

The FBI is now actively working to put together a team to arrest Comey between now and his court appearance on Thursday, but other FBI supervisors have also refused to cooperate, said a source knowledgeable about the conversions and a law enforcement source familiar with the situation. The expectation is that the FBI will eventually find somebody.
