DOJ Nears Perjury Decision on Comey as Statute Deadline Looms | CNN2.0

⏰ Federal prosecutors in EDVA are weighing perjury charges over James Comey’s Sept 30, 2020 congressional testimony, facing a five‑year charging deadline that expires Tuesday. ⚖️ Prosecutors are preparing for possible grand jury presentation; specifics of the alleged false statements remain unclear, and an indictment is not guaranteed. 🏛️ Context: President Trump has publicly pressed AG Pam Bondi to prosecute political opponents; EDVA’s acting U.S. attorney Eric Siebert was fired and replaced by Trump ally Lindsey Halligan days before the deadline. 📌 If approved, it would be among the highest‑profile indictments of Trump’s second term; prior politically charged cases (e.g., Durham‑era) show indictments don’t ensure convictions. 🔎 Analysts note this unusually public decision window, with legal timing, leadership changes, and political pressure converging around the grand jury timetable. #Hashtags
