"O'Reilly said he believed this was now a case of revenge versus retribution and which camp you are in likely depends on which political party you vote for. The American people can make up their own minds on it. The MAGA people are going to say, It's retribution they deserve to be taken down, they're corrupt officials,' O'Reilly said. And the people who don't like MAGA and Trump are going to say, No, this is a persecution, [it's] purely revenge.'"
"Comey, in his legal filing, said the two counts against him making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding were brought simply because President Trump holds personal spite against him. The president hates Comey, his filing said, because Comey has vigorously and prominently criticized him in the media. Abrams, a moment earlier in his interview with O'Reilly, said the charges were clearly orchestrated by Trump."
Justice Department prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and other Trump opponents are characterized as lacking clear legal basis while still posing a realistic conviction risk for Comey. The prosecutions are framed as politically motivated, with supporters labeling them retribution for alleged damage to the country and opponents calling them persecution or revenge. Comey filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the counts—false statements to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding—were brought out of presidential spite tied to his media criticism. Observers noted a Truth Social post urging action against targets as evidence of orchestration.
