As we told you earlier, a number of supporters (a very low number) showed up outside the Virginia courthouse where former FBI Director James Comey was arraigned.
A trial date was set for January, and Jonathan Turley found the start date to be fitting:
Comey's two-day trial date was just set of January 5th in Alexandria Virginia. It is an ironic choice since that is the anniversary of the critical controversial meeting of Comey with President Obama and others on laying the foundation for the Russian conspiracy investigation.

The "election interference" call was definitely coming from inside the Democrats' house, at which point they tried to project it all onto Trump.
...The Obama Administration did not like the prior report dismissing the Russian allegations and any impact on the election. A new report was quickly prepared in the final days of the Obama Administration. That ICA report has been widely criticized as fueling false claims...

...Now on the ten-year anniversary of that infamous meeting, Comey is scheduled to appear in court to answer for two federal charges related to alleged false statements connected to leaks from the FBI.

Many are skeptical that Comey will actually be found guilty considering where the trial is located, but we'll see. Also we're not holding our breath on a mugshot.
Feds do not provide mugshots but a perp walk would have been nice.

We have a sneaky suspicion this arraignment would have looked far different if the person being charged was somebody in Trump's orbit.
presumably set at this time so that he'll be acquitted on J6

Oh, just imagine the Dem reaction.
