This Looks Like The Smoking Gun In The Case Against James Comey

Posted • November 4, 2025: James Comey’s legal troubles just got a whole lot worse. In September, James Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice. Comey claims he’s the victim of malicious prosecution, and Democrats are out in full force claiming that this is part of Trump’s “revenge,” but newly filed evidence that Just the News obtained is quite damning. Prosecutors have revealed what looks like a smoking gun: Comey’s own words showing that he wasn’t merely aware his top aides were leaking to the press; he was actively congratulating them for it. As investigative journalist John Solomon explained on Real America’s Voice, “James Comey was clearly aware that his top aide was providing information anonymously to the news media. Not only was he aware of it, he wrote in a private email, ‘Good job, my friend,’ actually congratulating him.”

The aide in question, Dan Richman, was one of Comey’s closest confidantes and the same man who served as his conduit to the New York Times during the infamous leaks that helped trigger the Mueller investigation. For years, Comey has insisted under oath that he never authorized any of his staff to leak information to the media. But Solomon revealed that these emails and handwritten notes tell a very different story. The leaked material at the center of this case relates to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, a topic that Comey’s defenders have long claimed he handled with scrupulous neutrality. The evidence now suggests otherwise. The former FBI director not only knew about the leaks but encouraged them, precisely the opposite of what he told Congress. Even more damning are the handwritten notes recovered from what Solomon described as “burn bags” discovered by Kash Patel in a secret FBI evidence room.

Those notes reveal that as far back as September 2016, Comey was aware of an intelligence intercept showing that Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to “hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump’s campaign house.” Yet when testifying before Congress, Comey claimed, “That doesn’t sound familiar. I don’t think I ever knew about that.” 🚨 Trump U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan files public response to James Comey's motion to dismiss his indictment for vindictive prosecution. Exhibit 13 includes bombshell, damning evidence of then-FBI Director Comey's handwritten note--on FBI director letterhead--evidencing Comey's knowledge of--and even participation in--the Russian collusion criminal conspiracy against Trump. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G43JMgtWEAAvx_G?format=jpg&name=medium —— His own handwriting has betrayed his lie. It’s hard to overstate how serious that contradiction is. These notes prove that Comey knew the Clinton campaign was manufacturing the Trump-Russia narrative even as he allowed the FBI to pursue it. In other words, he wasn’t duped by bad intelligence; he was part of the ruse. (…)
