B-Man Posted 45 minutes ago Posted 45 minutes ago In late September, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by the Justice Department on two counts: False statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the United States Government [18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)] Obstruction of a Congressional proceeding [18 U.S.C. § 1505] On Wednesday morning, Comey appeared for his arraignment on those charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, before judge Michael Nachmanoff to enter his plea on those charges. The arraignment was originally set for Thursday, but Nachmanoff moved it up one day "Because there are multiple previously-scheduled matters that are expected to draw large numbers of people to the courthouse at the same time as the arraignment, and because it is necessary to ensure the security of the Court, the parties, and the public." Comey entered the courthouse outside the view of press cameras. As expected, Comey, who is represented by Jessica Carmichael of Carmichael Ellis & Brock and (former Special Counsel) Patrick Fitzgerald, quickly entered a plea of not guilty on both counts. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/10/08/comey-enters-his-plea-n2194851
