The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding is a seismic development that vindicates years of Republican warnings about the weaponization of the FBI. The grand jury in Alexandria returned the charges last week, and the filing called into question Comey’s 2020 testimony about unauthorized leaks from the bureau.
Roger Stone didn’t hesitate to call it karma, pointing out on conservative airwaves that these are the same categories of offenses that the Deep State once aimed at him and other Trump allies. Stone bluntly noted the irony — the same statutes that were wielded to punish loyal conservatives are now being examined for use against the very architects of the Russia hoax.
The way this indictment came together exposes the rot of the old order: a career prosecutor who initially balked was pushed aside, a Trump-aligned interim U.S. attorney quickly presented the case to a grand jury, and prosecutors ultimately opted not to secure one of the three counts they sought. Critics will howl about politics, but the facts show a Department of Justice that is finally moving where previous teams refused to go.
Conservatives should take heart that the principle of equal justice under the law is being restored. No one should be above accountability — not former FBI directors who abused their office, and not career operatives who thought they could run political warfare from inside law enforcement. This is the kind of long-overdue consequence that will send a message through the swamp if it is pursued with integrity.
Yes, the left and their media allies are already wailing about politicization and selective prosecution, but that argument conveniently ignored when their people were protected for years. The truth is the American people watched a two-tier system where elites like Comey were treated as untouchable while rank-and-file patriots were prosecuted aggressively. Those talking points from the establishment press don’t change the underlying fact that accountability was promised and is now being acted upon.
Make no mistake: Roger Stone’s history of being targeted by the same machinery gives him a unique, hard-earned perspective. He was convicted in the Russiagate prosecutions, had his sentence commuted, and was later pardoned — experiences that make his calls for equal treatment resonate with millions who watched similar double standards play out. If conservatives want this moment to matter, we’ll insist on transparency, a fair trial, and that the same rigorous standards apply to every public servant, regardless of party.
This is a turning point for patriots who have long believed that the swamp would never police itself. Demand a full, public airing of the evidence, push for prosecutions where warranted, and refuse to let the outrage industry reframe accountability as political revenge. If we stand firm now, we can finally begin to rebuild institutions that serve the American people instead of serving the permanent political class.
