Video: Scott Jennings Summed Up How Every Conservative Feels About the James Comey Indictment
Justice is finally knocking on the deep state’s door, and it’s a sweet sound—former FBI Director James Comey just got indicted on two counts by a federal grand jury: making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The left’s wailing it’s Trump “retribution,” but let’s call it what it is: payback for years of hoax hunts like Russiagate that tried to cage the man who won 2024 in a landslide. Comey and his cronies were dumb enough to get caught leaking to protect Hillary Clinton, and now the DOJ’s got him dead to rights. Every conservative’s fist-pump moment? CNN’s Scott Jennings nailed it on air: “Every Democrat in this country for years made no secret about the fact that they wanted Donald Trump and his people prosecuted, put in jail, and prevented from running for reelection. They opened this box, and now they’re living in it.” Amen, brother—the video captures the fire, with Jennings dropping truth bombs while the panel squirms.
The indictment, unsealed in Alexandria, VA, zeros in on Comey’s September 2020 Senate testimony where he lied about authorizing his buddy Daniel Richman (PERSON 3) to be an anonymous source on the Clinton probe (PERSON 1 is Hillary, per ABC leaks). Comey swore he never sicced anyone on reporters to “correct stories critical of Comey, the FBI,” but the DOJ says he did—willfully, knowingly, using Richman as his backchannel even after quitting the Bureau. Career prosecutors balked, but Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan overruled ’em, proving the swamp’s draining for real. It’s the culmination of Trump’s vow to harry the enemies who hoaxed him, bypassing the procedural shields they hid behind.
The left’s meltdown is epic—Obama’s crying “cancel culture” on X, as if his DOJ didn’t spy on Fox’s James Rosen or threaten licenses over 2020 coverage. But Jennings exposed the hypocrisy: Dems cheered prosecuting Trump; now it’s their turn, and they’re playing victim. Fox’s Jesse Watters torched Jessica Tarlov on The Five: “We don’t care what you think. We’re running this, so deal with it.” Boom— the show’s clip on ResisttheMS is gold, with Watters owning the moment as Tarlov fumes. This is Trump 2.0: no more kid gloves, just accountability for the Russiagate lance that failed spectacularly.
Comey’s the first domino in the deep state saga—next up, the leakers, the hoaxers, the whole rotten crew. With violence spiking against conservatives like Kirk’s hit, it’s time to lock ’em up and let Trump rebuild.
Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
I’m not convinced that justice is coming for Comey. The judge is a Biden appointee…and the jury will be from DC.
It’s confusing to me how he can employ the attorney he leaked the information to and not be conflicted. Also, the judge is a O-biden appointee, so not likely to have justice for the DOJ’s attorneys.
