The U.S. Department of Justice is poised to seek an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey in the Eastern District of Virginia, with prosecutors expected to present the case to a grand jury in the coming days, according to multiple reports. The charges stem from allegations that Comey lied to Congress about authorizing the leak of classified information from memos related to his interactions with then-President Trump, a matter first scrutinized in a 2019 inspector general report that cleared him of broader misconduct but flagged inconsistencies in his testimony. This development, amplified by outlets like MSNBC and Fox News, comes amid President Trump’s renewed push for accountability in past investigations, with the statute of limitations deadline looming, potentially forcing swift action. X posts from accounts like @GeneralMCNews have fueled speculation, framing it as a long-overdue reckoning for Comey’s role in the Russia probe, though critics argue it smacks of political retribution.

In a separate national security probe, the FBI seized classified documents from former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s Washington, D.C., office during a late August raid, with court filings revealing materials marked “confidential” that included references to weapons of mass destruction, U.S. strategic communications, and records from the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. The search warrant, obtained under the Espionage Act, targeted potential mishandling of sensitive information, echoing past controversies like those involving Trump aides. Bolton, a vocal Trump critic and hawkish foreign policy figure, faces up to 20 years in prison if charged, though no indictment has been filed yet; sources suggest the documents could tie into overseas intelligence dealings or unauthorized retention post-government service. Social media buzz, including from @GeneralMCNews, has linked the raid to broader scrutiny of Bolton’s post-White House activities, portraying it as part of a purge of perceived deep-state holdovers.

A federal judge has dismissed former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s long-running lawsuit against the Justice Department and FBI, ruling that his 2018 firing for sending anti-Trump text messages did not violate his First Amendment rights, effectively handing a victory to the government. Strzok, a key figure in the early Russia investigation whose private messages disparaging Trump and Clinton surfaced publicly, had sought damages for what he called retaliatory dismissal, but U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejected the claims, citing the sensitive nature of his role. Allegations that Strzok worked undercover for the CIA while at the FBI remain unsubstantiated in court records or credible reporting, appearing instead as unverified whispers in partisan X threads that paint him as a duplicitous “dirtbag” operative undermining the agency from within. The ruling closes a chapter on Strzok’s tenure but reignites debates over FBI impartiality during the Trump era.
