Former FBI Director James Comey has been charged with making false statements to Congress and obstruction of justice.
Specifically, it is alleged that he lied to Congress when he said that he did not authorize a leak of information about an investigation into Hillary Clinton, and that in doing so he obstructed Congress.
It appears that there is solid evidence that he did that very thing.
Andrew McCabe, formerly of he FBI, previously confirmed that a leak by him to a Wall Street Journal reporter about that investigation was authorized by Comey.
If this is true, then Comey is a criminal.
Ask Trump's former lawyer what lying to Congress means. For Mr. Cohen, it meant that he was sentenced to three years in jail.
Many in the press in the USA are saying that these charges show that the DOJ is now doing Trump's bidding. If this means they are catching criminals who previously perverted the American political system for their own ends, let's hope to see more.
