In what undoubtedly will shake the foundations of the Democrats' power structure in America and worry a lot of leftists who participated in the weaponization of the government against President Trump during his first term, a grand jury has indicted ex-FBI chief James Comey.
Comey, who recently promoted the "86-47" messaging presumed to mean "86" or destroy "47," with Trump being the 47th president, was indicted on two counts – one count of lying and one count of obstruction of justice.
He already has been complaining how Trump has weaponized the government against his opponents, such as Comey. But Comey's comments come in the aftermath of his participation, and the participation of multiple Democrat power figures, in the fraudulent "Russiagate" conspiracy theory that was assembled to try to keep Trump from being elected, or then to destroy him during his first term.
That conspiracy, now proven to be completely falsified, was based on a scheme by twice-failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to tie Trump to Russia.
Comey's FBI participated in that scheme, including launching an unfounded investigation of Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "No one is above the law. Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case."
The charges followed Trump's decision to remove Erik Siebert, then the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who sources insisted had doubts about charges against Comey.
Also in the equation is New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned for office on the promise to "get" President Trump even before she assembled wild claims of fraud against him and his companies.
Her case penalizing Trump nearly $500 million came through a judge with a confirmed anti-Trump agenda, and was reversed as unconstitutional at the appellate level.
Trump replaced Siebert with Lindsay Halligan, a former defense attorney.
ABC said that federal prosecutors in Virginia claimed they could not establish probable cause to charge Comey.
Trump said, "Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States. She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving."
Reports called the charges a "most dramatic escalation" in what Trump opponents have claimed is retribution by Trump against those who attacked him when they were in power in government.
Comey, who in fact was fired by Trump during his first term, has vocally criticized Trump over and over.
He's even claimed Trump is politicizing the justice system, a charge that Trump himself repeatedly has brought against Comey and other Democrats.

A judge has thrown out a lawsuit by Peter Strzok, the ex-FBI agent to openly conspired with an FBI lawyer about how to stop Donald Trump from being president at his first election, and who already negotiated a $1 million plus payout from the FBI for his dismissal, has lost his latest legal fight.
A federal judge has dismissed his claim that his First Amendment rights were violated when he was fired during the first Trump administration.
A report at the Gateway Pundit said, "U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, said Peter Strzok did not show his firing violated his First Amendment rights."
Strzok had claimed that his FBI managers retaliated against him because he criticized Trump and they wanted to placate the president, the report said.
Strzok was integral to the FBI agenda that brought an investigation against Trump over his 2016 campaign, the so-called "Russiagate" conspiracy theory that has since proven to have been based on lies.
The judge said Strzok's lawyers failed to show his dismissal violated the First Amendment.
Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, paramours, had discussed an "insurance policy" to keep Trump out of office.
"I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office…that there's no way [Trump] gets elected…but I'm afraid we can't take that risk," Strzok told Page in August 2015.
He was referring to FBI official Andrew McCabe.
"It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40," Strzok described.
The Gateway Pundit explained, "Other profanity-laced text messages between Strzok and Page showed their contempt for Donald Trump. Peter Strzok also said in a text message to Lisa Page 'we'll stop' Trump from becoming President."
His launch of the falsified "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation into the lies about Trump's campaign working with Russia violated bureau policies and actually prompted his firing, the report said.

Kamala Harris has gone wild with her claim that President Donald Trump is a communist dictator.
A report at the Gateway Pundit called it "weird" that she forgot to mention that her own father was a "Marxist economist."
Harris, who was anointed by Democrat party elites to be their nominee in 2024 after Joe Biden pulled out of the race, eventually lost a landslide, with Trump victorious in the Electoral College, the popular vote and in all of the nation's swing states.
She said, "A tyrant. We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with now with Donald Trump. And these titans of industry are not speaking up."
Said the Gateway Pundit, "The crazy lady who can't string two sentences together is making the rounds this week to promote her new book. During her MSNBC interview with Rachel Maddow, Kamala compared President Donald Trump, the most important free-market capitalist in the world today, to a communist dictator."
It continued, "It is stunning that she accused Trump of being the communist – coming from today's openly Marxist Democrat Party with leaders like AOC and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani who is a member of the Democrat Socialists of America party."
Harris' own promotion of her book:
And her comments triggered a response:
As well as a pointed note that she is supporting "Zohran Mamdani, a communist."
She further confirmed the Democrat party's homophobia, admitting that she couldn't pick Pete Buttigieg as her vice presidential nominee because he's homosexual.
Commenters also challenged her accuracy in her assessment of her catastrophic loss, a loss from which the Democrat party still is flailing, to President Trump.

A California abortion business has found a way to circumvent the Supreme Court's constitutional rights precedents and has obtained a ruling from a radical judge that terminates two rights protected by the Constitution for a pro-life advocate.
And the American Center for Law and Justice said it is joining the fight on behalf of Chad Hunt, who is represented by the Life Legal Defense Foundation, by filing a friend-of-the-court brief in his case.
The focal point is that the trial court simply refused to use the precedents that already exist for First Amendment protections.
The case is Women's Health Specialists (WHS) v. C.H. and many parts of the case are familiar already.
"The plaintiff WHS is an abortion facility, i.e., a place that kills babies for money before they are born. The defendant, Chad Hunt, is a pro-lifer who opposes such killing. WHS has 'escorts' whose job is to disrupt pro-life advocates who are reaching out to abortion 'customers' with life-giving alternatives. One of those escorts accused Chad of bumping her three times with his stomach when she tried to interfere with other pro-life counselors outside the abortion clinic," the ACLJ explained.
While such claims routinely would involve a police citation or a civil suit, the abortion business went another direction.
"Instead, it filed for a 'Workplace Violence Restraining Order' (WVRO). That is, WHS argued that their escort was at work, that Chad's alleged bumping of her constituted 'violence,' and, therefore, a WVRO should be issued," the ACLJ said.
"Sadly, the California superior court bought WHS's arguments — and did not apply the Supreme Court standards for protecting free speech rights. In effect, the superior court let WHS use the WVRO as an end-run around the First Amendment. And the result was an order that banished Chad 100 yards from WHS, forbade all contact with the escort of any kind, and — to add injury to injury — barred Chad from owning or possessing any firearms, even at home for his own self-defense."
The ACLJ noted that the court provided that the banishment of constitutional rights lasts for three years, "and can be renewed."
"Not only is the court violating his First Amendment rights, but it's using that violation to justify violating his Second Amendment rights as well – a two-for-one evisceration of his rights. Free speech rights limit what a court can do to stifle your expressive freedom. Such rights do not evaporate just because a litigant pulls a different legal tool out of the toolbox," the legal team explained.
The organization argues, "Many Left-leaning states stand ready to crush pro-life advocates if they dare speak out for the unborn – even if that means censoring or suspending the constitutional rights of advocates. We have previously written of our recent efforts in Maine, Illinois, and Ohio to defend advocates targeted by government officials. California appears ready to simply erase freedom of speech and the Second Amendment rights of a pro-life advocate."
Hunt has appealed the egregious ruling, with the Life Legal Defense representing him, and the ACLJ is filing an additional briefing for the court.
"WVROs are supposed to protect employees from creepy or hostile colleagues or supervisors, not provide an excuse to stifle public free speech rights," the ACLJ said.

President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened the Venezuelan government that it must accept the return of all prisoners the country forced into the United States, or else "the price you pay will be incalculable."
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan 'Leadership' has forced into the United States of America.
"Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these 'Monsters.'
Trump concluded: "GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE!"
The warning comes on the heels of a series of U.S. military attacks against drug-running boats from Venezuela carrying illicit substances to America, as Trump told the Venezuelan narcoterrorists that they were being hunted.
"These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests," Trump said of a strike on Sept. 15.
"BE WARNED – IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!
"The illicit activities by these cartels have wrought DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES, killing millions of American Citizens. NO LONGER. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!"

A cryptic post by California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office had the interet a buzz Saturday.
The post reads, "Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today.
"You're welcome, America."
Noem, of course, is secreatary of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Trump administration agreed that Team Newsom's tweet looked like a threat. As The Gateway Pundit reports, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin slammed Newsom for hiding behind a keyboard to "threaten" Noem.
"This reads like a threat," McLaughlin wrote. "This is ugly, @GavinNewsom."
"Your keyboard warrior team may hide behind their laptops and spew this kind of vitriol but you would never have the guts to say this to her face," she added.
Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli was next to respond, saying the alleged threat has now been referred to the Secret Service.
One X user posted: "A week after the most consequential political assassination since Kennedy, Newsom is threatening Kristi Noem. Any democrat saying the Right needs to 'turn down the temperature' is a liar and complicit."
Newsweek reports that Newsom signed five bills Saturday meant to protect immigrants, legal or otherwise.

A special visa program, the H-1B program that allows companies to hire foreign workers to replace Americans in those same duties at much lower salaries, is facing a bombshell from President Donald Trump.
He plans to impose a $100,000 fee on all such visa applications.
The program was created on the idea that there were not enough American workers with specific tech skills to fill the jobs that were open.
Under the plan, companies must "advertise" job openings, and then when no one responds to their sometimes extremely obscure announcements, they are allowed to hire foreigners for those positions.
Tech companies like Microsoft and others are known to have taken advantage repeatedly of such manipulations.
But Trump has announced plans to sign an executive order that is adding a $100,000 fee to all applications.
Currently, fees for the program start about $2,000 per visa, and generally don't go much higher.
According to the New York Post, the White House confirmed the plan.
"The move marks the latest crackdown by the administration on migrants coming into the U.S. for job opportunities, and is likely intended to limit visa applicants to those from higher financial brackets," the Post said.
"The administration views the current H-1B visa program — which admits hundreds of thousands of workers into the U.S. each year — as a way for companies to exploit lower-wage employees, ultimately impacting U.S. salaries," it said.
Of concern is that U.S. students could avoid science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields because of the flood of foreigners being brought into the U.S. in those fields.
Such a transfer of power through employment is considered by many to be a national security threat.
The government, meanwhile, has confirmed that some 70% of H-1B visa recipients are from India, which has made an industry of moving tech jobs from America to its own shores.
In addition to the new cash fee, the president also apparently has plans to order the nation's secretary of labor to begin making a rule that would revise the prevailing-wage requirements of the program.
Bloomberg News said it's all intended to limit the use of special visas to harm the wages of Americans.
The stocks for Indian IT corporations that rely on the visa advantage plummeted when the news was released.
There also are other visa programs, like the OPT program providing for U.S.-based work for students, that also are the subject of investigations.

President Donald Trump has issued a statement that he is designating Antifa, the coalition of leftists and left-oriented organizations that have done billions of dollars in damage to America through riots, protests, arson and murder in recent years, as a "MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION."
"I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he announced.
The move comes only a week after Charlie Kirk, a titan of the conservative movement often targeted by Antifa and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated by an alleged left-winger radicalized by transgender ideologies.
Tyler Robinson, the suspect, is accused of engraving bullet casings with slogans like, "Hey fascist! Catch!" and more.
There already had been a proposal in Congress to impose that declaration, and leaders now have endorsed it.
Fox News reported House Freedom Caucus chair Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., and other Republican lawmakers expressed strong support for Trump's plan.
They also supported the idea of investigating those who fund the protests and riots.
Antifa, which erupted across the United States at the time of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis several years ago, at the time was blamed for the billions of dollars in damages Antifa riots and violence cost American families, business and cities.
One leftist network, in fact, had a reporter stand in front of a city block engulfed in flames and describe the destruction as fiery but mostly peaceful.
Reports reveal an alleged Antifa cell tried to assassinate police officers in July.
And in Georgia, more than 60 individuals were accused in 2023 of domestic terrorism and material support charges "over Antifa and eco-terrorist violence," according to a report in the Federalist.
At the time it apparently was, the report said, the "first known Antifa case where law enforcement successfully 'followed the money,' raiding the Atlanta Solidarity Fund and its fiscal sponsor, The Network for Strong Communities, over charity fraud allegations for their alleged role in backing violent protests."
Leftists were worried, with the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center claiming, "The designation would grant federal law enforcement broad powers, under the federal terrorism code, to surveil and investigate anyone labeled as Antifa."
The comments came several years ago after Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana introduced a resolution seeking to label Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
"It could also allow federal law enforcement to broadly target anyone involved in protests viewed unfavorably by the Trump administration, even retroactively," the SPLC, an organization that routinely likens Christian organizations to KKK chapters, added.
WND had reported that the House of Representatives was at work on a parallel plan.
It is expediting legislation brought by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., to designate Antifa.
She proposed the legislation a few months ago, and it has been pending before the House Committee on the Judiciary since.
She said that's changing.
"I just received word from the Speaker that he is fully supporting my bill to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization, and it will be placed in the State Department reauthorization bill that will be going through committee this week," Luna said on social media.
Online resources describe Antifa as a decentralized political movement.
While its supporters explain it is loosely structured and led by local activists, the movement has had massive amounts of cash with which to work, funding that definitely comes from major players.
Going forward, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security could make such local groups, leaders and even those funders a priority for their work against domestic terrorism.
The proposal cites multiple instances of violence from all across America allegedly committed or instigated by members of Antifa, situations that have left behind billions of dollars in damage and injured law enforcement officers.
"Over the summer of 2020, Antifa assisted in inflicting over $2,000,000,000 in damages against churches, Federal buildings, businesses, and other downtown structures across 20 States, resulting in the death of at least 30 individuals as well as 700 injured police officers," the legislation charges.
"[In] March 2023, Antifa-affiliated rioters set fire to the future Atlanta police training facility by launching fireworks, Molotov cocktails, and other destructive items at police officers and into the facility's construction site resulting in arrests of 23 extremists on charges of domestic terrorism."

Newly released FBI documents are raising more questions about the Biden family's connections to a gas company under investigation at one point by Ukrainian authorities for corruption, Burisma.
The company's links to the Biden family already have been documented to run deep: Hunter Biden was paid some $1 million a year for several years to be on its board, even though he lacked expertise in running an energy company.
And Joe Biden is on record that he used his power as vice president under Barack Obama to threaten Ukraine with the loss of a billion dollars in American tax help at the time if a prosecutor investigating Burisma wasn't fired.
Republicans have been raising questions about the scandal for years already, and now Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released declassified files that suggest additional bribery allegations against Joe Biden and his scandal-plagued son, Hunter.
A report at the New York Post explains the documents released by Grassley memorialize two interviews, from 2017 and 2019, in which FBI sources provided details about the Bidens being linked to "a possible foreign bribery 'scheme' with Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings."
One of the major concerns now is the suggestion that the FBI never even investigated those allegations.
"The informants alleged that Zlochevsky sought to offer then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko $100 million in 'shares and guaranteed profits from gas sales' to stop an 'Interpol investigation' into Burisma — in which Joe and Hunter Biden had 'money invested' via a Latvian 'shell company,'" the report said.
Those FBI sources charged Joe Biden met with Poroshenko "to protect the interests" of his son and, by extension, Zlochevsky, who was paying Hunter Biden $1 million per year from May 2014 to April 2019 to be on Burisma's board.
The informant told the FBI two CIA officers took Zlochevsky to Yuriy Lutsenko, the prosecutor general of Ukraine, and "The CIA officers allegedly said Zlochevsky is protected by the U.S. and urged Lutsenko to stop the investigation on Zlochevsky and let him back into Ukraine. A deal was made, so Zlochevsky could pay $3 million in damages to get back into Ukraine."
Other business deals benefitting the Bidens also were alleged.
"We aren't saying the allegations are true, we want to know what the FBI did to fully investigate their veracity or lack thereof, and what they concluded," Grassley said. "Let's put this matter to rest, one way or the other."
Another FBI document, from 2017, said, "JOSEPH BIDEN would 'take care' of BURISMA HOLDING issues around the World and POROSHENKO would protect ZLOCHEVSKY."
A previous FBI informant document, released by Grassley two years ago, had an informant claiming Joe and Hunter Biden each took a $5 million bribe from Zlochevsky to "protect" Burisma from a corruption probe. That information later pleaded guilty to making false statements and was sentenced to prison, although his prosecution later was put under a review.
Biden, as vice president, pressured Ukrainian officials to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor in December 2015 by threatening to withhold up to $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees. The prosecutor was ousted months later by a vote of the nation's parliament.
Editor's note: Please be aware of offensive language from Joe Biden.
Joe Biden then bragged about how he'd used the power of the American taxpayer purse to coerce Ukrainian officials to do his bidding regarding Burisma.
Grassley confirmed in a Tuesday hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel that "to date, the FBI has never answered Congress whether they investigated the text messages, the audio files, and financial records referenced in that 1023."
Senate investigators earlier confirmed that Joe Biden was made Obama's "public face" for Ukraine issues just as Hunter Biden and a friend were put on the payroll of the Burisma board.
There also have been allegations of Hunter Biden receiving a luxury car, and a huge diamond, amid his involvement in Ukraine.
And Hunter Biden was embroiled in a tax case, partly involving payments from Burisma, when at the close of Joe Biden's term in the White House, he issued a presidential pardon to hin some for all crimes committed.

The death penalty will be sought against the man suspected of assassinating Charlie Kirk, co-founder of the Turning Point USA, Trump supporter and faithful Christian husband and father.
That's according to a list of charges the suspect, Tyler Robinson, is facing.
They include aggravated murder, which is a capital offense and if he is convicted, the count would make Robinson subject to the state's firing squad death penalty.
It was the Utah County prosecutor who announced that there are seven crimes being charged against the suspect, who was arrested only about 30 hours after the shooting on a college campus in Orem, Utah.
A second count will be felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury, and others are felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm, felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting, witness tampering for asking a roommate to DELETE incriminating messages, witness tampering for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and NOT speak to police and a count of commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.
Because the death penalty is being sought, the suspect will be held without bail.
