However, James Comey did perpetrate meddling in presidential election in 2016. He should have been indicted for that crime.
In 2016, only two weeks from the voting day, Comey rushed to convene a press conference and declared to the public that FBI seized a computer that contained some emails sent from Hillary Clinton.
Under then political circumstances, Comey's rhetoric in the conference misled many Americans into deeming that FBI had discovered concrete evidence of crime committed by Clinton involving her email server. This false accusation was the primary attack on Clinton from Trump campaign.
Had the FBI obtained any evidence of crime, it would have been legal and reasonable for Comey to disclose to the public. However, the FBI finding of the existence of Hillary emails on that computer was far from any evidence of crime yet. It was unnecessary, illegal and unreasonable for Comey to disclose.
Therefore, Comey voluntarily and intentionally abused his authority and meddled in presidential election in 2016. His misconduct rendered vital and fateful consequence. American nightmare of political turmoil commenced, and has lasted for one decade, and will proceed much longer.
Probably, Trump phenomenon will debilitate America so much as to terminate American Republic for ever, just like the collapse of Rome Republic.
Apparently, James Comey didn't commit crimes of making a false statement and obstructing congress proceeding. Those charges are all concocted by the new acting US attorney Halligan herself, despite the oppositions from her own subsidiaries. Those allegations are untenable, and cannot send Comey into jail.
Comey's indictment simply demonstrates the iron fact that Trump does nefariously tramples on American democracy, and unscrupulously abuses the power of US presidency. Therefore, Trump, Bondi, Halligan etc. will be held accountable for what they are doing today once Trump moves out of White house.
