Former FBI Director James Comey Could Spend 5 Years Behind Bars

Former FBI Director James Comey could spend five years behind bars after grand jury indicts him on charges of obstruction and making false statements

Former FBI Director James Comey faces a maximum of five years in prison if found guilty on charges stemming from allegedly making false statements to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and obstructing justice, News Nation reported. Comey testified before the committee on September 30, 2020, regarding the FBI’s investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election.

A grand jury indicted Comey on Thursday, finding that he allegedly falsely denied that he “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” about the 2016 case during the campaign. Trump was accused of colluding with Russia to help him win the 2016 election, a charge which later proved to be patently false.

President Trump Statement

“I’d like to thank Kash Patel, and the outstanding members of the FBI, for their brilliant work on the recent Indictment of the Worst FBI Director in the History of our Country, James “Dirty Cop” Comey. The level of enthusiasm by the FBI was incredible, but only caused by the fact that they knew Comey for what he is, and was, a total SLIMEBALL! Again, thank you to the FBI and, specifically, those that worked on this case with U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, and the DOJ. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” –  President DJT
