"On Friday night, CBS News reported that the FBI is considering a showy arrest of the 6'8 Comey, complete with a perp walk by decked-out agents who are large and beefy. [O]n 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."
"Comey was indicted last week for perjury and obstruction over sworn testimony he gave to Congress in 2020. The indictment came after President Donald Trump fired Erik Siebert, the Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, for declining to prosecute Trump's political foes, which included Comey. Siebert's replacement, Lindsey Halligan, pressed forward with the case and secured an indictment that may very well be procedurally invalid, aside from the merits, which legal experts across the political spectrum have said are dubious."
James Comey was indicted for perjury and obstruction over sworn testimony to Congress in 2020. The indictment followed President Donald Trump's firing of Acting U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert after Siebert declined to prosecute Trump's political opponents, including Comey. Siebert's replacement, Lindsey Halligan, advanced the prosecution and obtained an indictment that legal experts across the political spectrum described as procedurally suspect and of dubious merits. FBI leadership considered staging a high-profile arrest of the 6'8 Comey using large, heavily equipped agents for a perp walk, though some FBI supervisors refused to cooperate and Director Kash Patel's role was not mentioned.
