Politico Earns the Ratio With Take About the Comey Indictment Setting a Bad DOJ Precedent

Doug P. | 10:36 AM on October 08, 2025

Watching Democrats and many in the media clutch their pearls over the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey while claiming that there's an unprecedented weaponization of the justice system happening under Trump has been truly amazing. All of that is happening while the Dems hope nobody remembers what took place during the previous administration.

There have also been those claiming then President Biden avoided commenting on the lawfare efforts against Donald Trump, which is also laughable:

Remember "no one is above the law"?

No one is above the law.

Nice Community Note on that one!

Add up everything that happened during the four years that President Autopen was in office, and the Dems and their lib media water carriers are going to pretend it either never happened or that, yes, it happened, but the effort was justified.

How far will the Justice Department go in prosecuting the people Trump wants prosecuted — including ex-FBI director James Comey?

Funny that they didn't seem to mind when the Pandora's box was actually opened, which was during the previous administration.

Spying on the incoming president and the FBI falsifying evidence to get an investigation started also sets a precedent.

Are these people demented? I get why people don't like the prosecution of Comey, but the idea that it's new or some kind of escalation is absolutely delusional after much more unjustified Trump prosecutions. https://t.co/7YY9XxOQ3G
