Martyr or Liar? Comey Indicted on Two Counts
Below is my column in the New York Post on the indictment of James Comey. As I mentioned yesterday, the indictment seemed a bit disjointed in referring to “false statements” in the caption and the body, but only describing a single false statement.It appears that the grand jury did not return a “true bill” on one of the originally alleged false statements. That might have been the count related to Professor Daniel Richman, who appeared before the Grand Jury, but that is speculation at this point.However, as I noted, there appears to have been material removed from the original draft of the indictment.
Here is the column:
Yesterday,James Comey became the first former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be indicted for a federal crime. That is likely the only fact upon which you will receive anything close to agreement in the country. For some, the two-count indictment is along-overdue accountabilityfor a man who pushed through the now-debunked Russian collusion investigation. For others, it is another abuse on President Donald Trump’s revenge tour.
There are legitimate concerns about the targeting of a political critic of the President, particularly after he publicly complained just days ago that Attorney General Pam Bondi was not indicting Comey and others.
However, Comey is hardly the pristine model of “ethical leadership” that he described in his book. Putting aside his critical role in the Russian collusion investigation, Comey tossed aside even the pretense of ethics after Trump fired him.
The Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, issued a scathing report that found Comey was a leaker and had violated FBI policy in his handling of FBI memos. On his way out of the Bureau, Comey stole FBI materials, including those containing the “code name and true identity” of a sensitive source.
While he did not find that he disclosed the classified information, Horowitz found that Comey took “the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order to achieve a personally desired outcome.” He further added that Comey “set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands of more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information.”
Comey later admitted that he asked his friend, Columbia Law Professor Daniel Richman, to leak information from the documents to the New York Times.
Comey’s close associate, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, stated that Comey did instruct him to leak information to the media. Comey denied that repeatedly under oath.
James Baker, FBI general counsel and a close adviser to Comey, also told investigators that he was “under the belief” that he was “ultimately instructed and authorizedto [provide information to the Times] by then FBI Director James Comey.”
That sets up a straightforward question: who is lying?It could also set up a bizarre scene of McCabe testifying against his friend. McCabe despises Trump as much as Comey, so he may prove to be an overtly hostile witness for the prosecutors.

Turley has an iron trap for a memory
2/2
Washington will be glued to any such trial.The only thing more unnerving than the alleged targeting of a political critic in Washington is the prosecution of a leaker. This is a city that floats on a rolling sea of leaks. The Justice Department is notorious for leaks made with lethal effect against targets. Now the former FBI director will stand trial to see if he is a leaker and a liar.
There is one individual who is likely to be watching with particular interest and perhaps satisfaction: former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Comey is facing two counts of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The first count under 18 U.S.C. 1001 (a)(2) is the exact charge that Comey engineered against Flynn.
Comey gave a book tour where he thrilled audiences about how he secured a criminal charge against Flynn for making false statements. In one event, an audience cheered as Comey took credit for the controversial charge. He explained that what he did was not exactly proper. It was, he explained,
“something we’ve, I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation, a more organized administration…I thought, ‘It’s early enough, let’s just send a couple of guys over.’”
The actual agents who interviewed Flynn did not believe that he intentionally lied about a meeting with Russian diplomats, but Comey and his investigators pushed for charges anyway. They drained Flynn of resources, threatened to indict his son, and ultimately secured a guilty plea.
Now it will be Comey in the dock, facing a charge of making a false statement. He will do so as someone who has admitted to improperly removing FBI material and leaking information to the media.
The odds still favor Comey. He will have a jury taken from a generally liberal, Democratic jury pool. He is also a sophisticated player. Perhaps that is why he issued a videotaped message saying effectively “bring it on” and let’s go to trial.
While an improvement over Comey’s bizarre seashell messages, the videotape may be too confident. Perjury or false statements can be challenging to prove, particularly when vague or nuanced language is used. This is neither vague nor nuanced. Comey repeatedly swore that he never asked anyone at the FBI to leak information. That is either true or it is not.
Comey will continue to be vilified and lionized by different parts of the population. Yet, this is an ignoble moment that he helped bring about.
Notably, this indictment comes 50 years after the only Attorney General was convicted of crimes (including false statements and obstruction). That was John Mitchell after the Watergate scandal.
Now the man who bragged about nailing Michael Flynn will face the same false statement charge. The man who celebrated the charging of Donald Trump (including obstruction-related charges) will face his own obstruction charge.
Whether karma or lawfare, Comey will now have his day in court.

Democrats Reportedly Quietly Planning Luxury Getaway Escape To 5-Star Resort Despite Looming Government Shutdow
September 27, 20257:23 PM ET
The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is planning a two-day getaway at a five-star resort in the heart of California’s wine country in early October — at the same time the country may be in the midst of a government shutdown — according to an invitation obtained by Politico’s “Playbook.”
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is hosting its Napa Retreat from Oct. 13-14 at Hotel Yountville in Napa County, Politico reported Saturday. Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has chaired the DSCC since January, circulated an invitation to the event which lists her, Democratic Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and other unidentified “[m]embers of the Democratic Caucus” as attendees, according to the outlet.
Democratic Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens — who is running in a hotly-contested 2026 primary for Michigan’s open Senate seat — is also expected to make an appearance at the Napa retreat, Politico reported, citing an anonymous Democrat who was briefed on the gathering. The DSCC has yet to publicly endorse a candidate in the highly competitive race between Stevens, Democratic Michigan Sen. Mallory McMorrow, and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed.
The event will potentially coincide with a government shutdown, which multiple Democratic senators in recent months have threatened to back in opposition to President Donald Trump. A shutdown will occur if Congress does not pass an agreement to fund the government by the end of Sept. 30.
The majority of the retreat is slated to take place at the hotel, with the noted exceptions of an Oct. 13 wine tour and dinner at the certified organic Staglin Family Vineyards, according to the circulated invitation.
Hotel Yountville’s website describes the luxury resort and spa as a “vineyard estate-inspired retreat” which “extends a Tuscan-European vibe.”
“Sleep deeply always, in our luxurious accommodations. Soak in one of our oversized sunken tubs and find warmth by your private fieldstone fireplace,” the hotel’s website states. “Savor a meal at Heritage Oak Café, immerse yourself in our pool, or find repose at our distinguished spa. Hotel Yountville offers more than a Wine Country trip—it’s the luxury escape you didn’t know you needed…until now.”
The Daily Caller News Foundationasked the DSCC to name the retreat’s objective, cost, and other requirements for attendance. The DCNF also asked the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm if the gathering would still proceed as planned in the event of a shutdown and whether the retreat was created with foreknowledge it may coincide with it. Furthermore, the DCNF asked the DSCC if either of Stevens’s primary opponents or any other 2026 Senate candidates were invited to attend the retreat.
The DSCC did not respond to any of the DCNF’s questions.
“Not only is Haley Stevens threatening to freeze paychecks for tens of thousands of Michiganders in order to give illegal aliens taxpayer-funded healthcare — she’s running off to wine and dine in California while they pay the price,” Alyssa Brouillet, campaign spokesperson for Trump-endorsed Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers, said in a statement to the DCNF. “This is a complete slap in the face to working Michigan families.”
Stevens on Sept. 2 falsely claimed on X her campaign was endorsed by Berrien County Commissioner Chokwe Pitchford. Pitchford ended up endorsing Stevens’s primary opponent, Sen. McMorrow, less than a week later.
McMorrow is a prominent critic of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and was one of the first 2026 Democratic Senate candidates to publicly call for him to step down as leader of the upper chamber’s Democratic Caucus. El-Sayed, meanwhile, is a left-wing candidate endorsed by Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

‘Hell No!’: UFC’s Dana White Tells ’60 Minutes’ There’s No Such Thing As Being ‘Too Masculine’
JASON COHEN
SEPTEMBER 29, 202510:08 AM ET
UFC President Dana White told “60 Minutes” correspondent Jon Wertheim on Sunday that masculinity isn’t problematic.
White told Wertheim that the UFC fan base tended to be 18 to 34 year-old men, but was expanding globally. When the UFC president added that his company was “definitely unapologetically masculine,” Wertheim asked if that posed a risk and mentioned “toxic masculinity,” prompting White to laugh in his face and ask what the term meant.
WATCH:
“You tell me,” Wertheim said.
“No, you just said it! What’s the definition of toxic?” White asked. “How can somebody be too masculine? Is that a possibility? Can you be too masculine?”
Wertheim again declined to answer, pushing White to answer his own questions.
“No! The answer is hell no!” White said.
White is a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, who won the male vote in all three of his election campaigns by 8% or more. He achieved his largest margin with the demographic — 12% — in 2024 against former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the Center for American Women and Politics.
Democratic strategist James Carville explained on “The Tara Palmeri Show” in April that men loathe his party because Democrats appear condescending toward men.
“I think the Democratic Party has what I would call an NPR problem. You know, don’t eat hamburgers, don’t watch football, don’t drink beer,” Carville said. “It’s all bad for you. Like god damn, man, you know, get off my ass for a minute! And I think it’s something like that. I think Democrats come across as like culturally superior, ‘we know what’s good for you.’”
Trump told supporters in July that he intended to host a UFC fight card on the White House grounds as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration in 2026. White said on “Special Report with Bret Baier” on Sept. 19 that the event would feature a festival-style atmosphere, with live bands, outdoor seating, giant screens and fans sprawled across the South Lawn.
“We’re literally going to take over Washington, D.C. that week. We’re going to do the weigh-ins there,” White said. “We’re going to have the weigh-in events. And we’ll have fan events all week. We’re going to do our expo there and just a total Washington, D.C. takeover.”

The 47th Amendment
Anything Trump does anytime is unconstitutional
Sep 29, 20251/3
The press had a lousy weekend. Reuters reported, “U.S. Supreme Court lets Trump withhold $4 billion in foreign aid.”
Similar headlines were posted by the usual suspects such as CBS, NYT and AP. The headlines were in error because a president does not need the Court’s permission to do anything because they head equal branches of government.
The idea that the court can veto a presidential action is as obnoxious as the idea that a president may veto a court decision.
Congress does have power over presidents and justices via impeachment, but both the president and the court can veto most congressional actions via an actual veto or a pocket veto by the president, and by a court striking down a congressional action as unconstitutional. But Congress can override a presidential veto. Congress can initiate an amendment to nullify a court decision.
I’m no lawyer but the concept that the only figure elected by the nation as a whole is subservient to 9 appointees from previous administrations and congresses is absurd.
The decision Reuters cited merely blocks a Biden DEI hire—Judge Amir “First Muslim Judge in the DC Circuit!” Ali— from making Trump spend the money before Wednesday when the federal budget year ends. This rendered the case a moot point.
I notice justices go out of their way to avoid making actual decisions. That’s deliciously judicious. We need fewer laws and even fewer precedents.
Because the stay on doling out foreign aid upheld Trump’s authority, the press opposed it. This is under the imaginary and unratified 47th Amendment which holds that anything Trump does at any time is unconstitutional.
The Constitution and we the people of the United States of America may have made him president and the chief of the executive branch of government but the Democrat Party and its toucans in the press refuse to accept his authority.
Consider his ability to fire political appointees. The lower courts in the basement of the the judiciary have repeatedly tried to overrule firings of high-priced officials who will not carry out his policies despite voters overwhelmingly voting for his policies.
The latest example was spun by Politico:
The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to keep a Biden-appointed member of the Federal Trade Commission out of her post for at least three more months, despite a century-old federal law aimed at limiting the president’s power to fire such officials for political reasons.
Such a law does not exist but it is a Supreme Court decision from 90 years ago by a Republican Supreme Court to get back at FDR. Democrats did not invent lawfare and let this be a lesson in boomerangs. Play it straight and nobody gets hurt.
https://donsurber.substack.com/p/the-47th-amendment
2/3
The recent decision to sidestep precedent was 6-3 with the three blind mice on the Court saying, in a dissent written by Justice Elena “Moe” Kagan, “The majority, stay order by stay order, has handed full control of all those agencies to the President.”
No, the Constitution and the people put him in charge.
The hacks in the district courts keep trying to take control of federal policy from the man we elected to set it. We gave them lifetime terms to protect them from politics—and here they are using that protection to play politics.
Boasberg is a bully who acts like he’s above the law. Tish James and Fani Willis thought the same thing. Trump got the goods on both of them. Let’s see what he gets on Boasberg.
The press doesn’t get what is going on with this flood of court challenges. Reporters side with the intransigent bureaucracy over the will of the people.
Their stories are very misleading.
The New York Times reported, “Trump Fired a U.S. Attorney Who Insisted on Following a Court Order.”
Actually, that was not why she was fired. In fact, Paragraphs 19, 20 and 21 in that very story said as much. The story began:
For 15 years, Michele Beckwith oversaw some of the toughest federal prosecutions in California. She went after transnational terrorists, sex traffickers and the Aryan brotherhood.
She became the acting U.S. attorney in Sacramento this year when her boss, a Biden appointee, stepped down in January.
But her career crumbled in July, she said, after she issued a warning to Gregory Bovino, the California face of President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The dismissal of Ms. Beckwith appeared to be an early example of how Mr. Trump has fired top federal prosecutors who did not help carry out his political agenda.
Here’s what really happened. ICE was about to raid a Home Depot parking lot where illegal aliens go to get day jobs for under-the-table money. Bovino contacted Beckwith, first hired in 2010 when Obama was president, to give her a heads up and to make sure she had ICE’s back if people assaulted ICE.
She didn’t.
Paragraphs 19, 20 and 21 said:
A Department of Homeland Security official, who was part of the Sacramento operation and spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said that federal officials were offended by Ms. Beckwith’s suggestion that immigration agents were going to violate the rights of migrants.
What’s more, the official said, Mr. Bovino felt Ms. Beckwith was refusing to provide his team the legal support it needed to safely conduct the operations.
In a statement, Mr. Bovino said, “The former Acting U.S. Attorney’s email suggesting that the United States Border Patrol does not ALWAYS abide by the Constitution revealed a bias against law enforcement.”
https://donsurber.substack.com/p/the-47th-amendment
3/3
So some liberal with a law degree tried to block ICE and lost her job. Ha Ha Ha. The 47th Amendment exists only in liberal fantasies and the Supreme Court is waking liberals up the fact that Donald Trump is president—again.
The press portrays the obstructionists as the victims when they clearly are trying to game the system.
New York magazine reported, “The Trump administration currently faces more than 300 legal challenges to its policies and has admitted—when pressed by Justice Amy Coney Barrett during Supreme Court oral arguments—that it believes it doesn’t always have to follow lower-court decisions.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has backed the Trump administration on the shadow docket 26 out of 28 times, according to a recent NBC News tally.”
No president has ever faced more than 300 court cases because no president has ever faced a lower court refusal to accept his legitimacy as president. Judges should be telling these lawfare plaintiffs that they have no standing and that the local courts, which is what district courts are, have no jurisdiction.
As for Jimmy the Ferret Comey’s indictment,don’t buy the media spin especially from Andy McCarthy.
True, Comey had a mole inside the investigation—his son-in-law who worked in the U.S. attorney’s office in eastern Virginia (EDVA) that investigated the 6-foot-8 toadstool. Those saying the evidence isn’t there are parrots for the ferret. He lawyered up quickly hiring longtime deep-stater Patrick Fitzgerald.
Comey just happened to land a Biden appointee as the judge in the case. It’s an uphill battle that at worst may bankrupt Comey.
The indictment is a good start—a tug on the plug over the drain of the swamp. Trump has a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Between Comey’s indictment and the Supreme Court upholding Trump not funding Democrat pet projects, the press had a long sad-faced weekend.
Which meant the rest of us had a terrific time.
