Former disgraced FBI Director James Comey will be arraigned on October 9th in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Comey, who was fired by President Trump in 2017, was hit with two criminal charges: making false statements and obstruction of justice.

James Comey repeatedly lied to Congress and the FISA Court in order to spy on President Trump in the Russiagate scandal, something he knew was completely fabricated back in 2016.

Comey single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the FBI – his successor, Chris Wray, then took over and stomped out any credibility the agency once had.

There were reports that Comey will turn himself over to authorities on Friday morning. However, it now looks like that may not happen until October 9th.

On October 9, 2025, Jim Comey will be arraigned in court.

President Donald Trump released a statement on James Comey’s arrest just moments ago.

JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI. Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Here is what Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported back in 2018.

Former FBI Head James Comey and others in his inner circle signed and sent a FISA warrant application to the FISA Court and that they knew the FISA warrant was fraudulent.

Since the emails are labeled classified by the Deep State DOJ and FBI, Comey wanted to have his testimony in front of Congress this week in the open so he wouldn’t have to discuss his criminal actions like this one.

When Comey signed off on the FISA warrant request to the FISA Court to obtain a legal basis to spy on Carter Page and President Trump he lied.

This is now a fact because the FISA request had the following caption about Steele’s work in it – “the FBI is unaware of any derogatory information pertaining to Source #1 [Steele].”

1. Email exchanges between then-FBI Director James Comey, key FBI investigators in Russia probe and lawyers in DOJ’s National Security Division that occurred in Oct, before the FBI secured FISA to spy on Trump & Carter Page may provide most damning evidence of FISA abuses yet.

We also know from the work of Judicial Watch that no hearings were held on the fraudulent FISA warrant applications sent to the FISA Court by Obama’s corrupt FBI and DOJ leadership team to spy on candidate and then President Trump.

No wonder President Trump called Comey the “WORST FBI Director in history” back in 2018.

Roger Stone is a bit upset that Comey will not receive the same treatment he did by the dirty FBI when he was arrested.

Wait, why isn't COMEY being gagged by the federal judge in his case like I was? In fact, why is he being allowed to turn himself in? Why isn't he subjected to a 6 AM raid on his home by 29 heavily armed FBI agents ? https://t.co/5nRQTWuQn3
