FBI Director Kash Patel mounted an impassioned defense of the Trump administration’s prosecution of one of his predecessors, James Comey, in a post on X Friday morning.
“Career FBI agents, intel analysts, and staff led the investigation into Comey and others. They called the balls and strikes and will continue to do so,” wrote Patel. “The wildly false accusations attacking this FBI for the politicization of law enforcement comes from the same bankrupt media that sold the world on Russia Gate- it’s hypocrisy on steroids.”
“Their baseless objections tell us now, more than ever, that we are precisely over the target and will remain on mission until completion,” he concluded. “Thank you to this brave FBI team. Mission First.”
Comey was indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, reportedly on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly lying under oath to Congress.
The news broke just a few days after President Donald Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Comey and other high-profile enemies of his in Truth Social post that read:
Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.’ Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many lawyers, and legal pundits, say so. Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT
Trump himself has spent the hours since the news of the indictment broke celebrating and deriding Comey, who he’s referred to as a “DIRTY COP.”
