‘I’m not afraid’ James Comey responds to indictment by Trump DOJ

We just got uh a video that has been posted, I believe, to Instagram by James Comey, of course, the former FBI director who has just been indicted. I think we have that ready to roll if you want to just take a look. My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant. And she’s right. But I’m not afraid. And I hope you’re not either. I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does. My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I’m innocent. So, let’s have a trial and keep the faith.

James Comey releases video statement on indictment from the Trump DOJ.

  1. Whatever doubts I've had about Comey, he is wise and strong to stand tall against this clown and his circus. With the hire of a REAL attorney, you should be able to run circles around their unqualified hires. Worse than any DEI hires!!

  3. The world knows who's prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. Disgracefully, whoever the "real judge and court have already risen bt tour pocecutor and intimidated. Let's accept facts. This is no longer a "DEMOCRACY." Next week, meeting with the military is to "intimidate" them if they don't support the present government.😢😮

  7. THANK YOU FOR THIS, MR. COMEY! WE STAND WITH YOU & YOUR FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR YOUR MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY! GOD BLESS YOU! ( THIS GOES FOR YOUR BRILLIANT DAUGHTER AS WELL!) ❤😔🙏🇺🇲🏛⚖️🗽🇺🇲💙

  8. We will not have a free and fair election in 2028. We won’t even have a free and fair election next year. It’s a shame that the half of the country that didn’t bring this evil into existence has to sleep with the devil the other half brought to bed.

  9. May God Bless you and keep you safe and may the Truth Prevail. Do not sell your soul for a pot of pottage. Jesus Christ did not. May His strength and Grace prevail every step of the Way.

  15. Let's all be engaged! we have seen in recent events that "we the people" together have the power and they know it too 🇺🇸

  19. TRUMP, ABBOTT, JD VANCE, JOHNSON, AND THESE MEGA RACISTS REPUBLICANS ARE INVOLVED WITH JEFFERY EPSTEIN MURDER, TRUMP IS A RAPES, LIER, MURDER, AND THEFT
