On the 25th, local time, the Grand Jury of the Federal District Court of Virginia decided to prosecute former FBI director James Comey on charges of obstructing justice and making false statements to Congress. On the same day, Trump issued four consecutive posts celebrating Comey as a ¡°dirty policeman¡± and a ¡°foolish man¡±. Comey firmly denied the allegations and stated himself ¡°without blame¡±. The Democratic Party accused Trump of ¡°armed justice¡± and retaliating against political opponents. Trump rejected the fact that he had been ¡°pursued¡± by the Democratic Party for four years.

Comey: Confronting Trump'comes at a price '

According to the Wall Street Journal, according to the Grand Jury¡¯s decision, Comey¡¯s charges originated from his lying at the September 2020 Congressional Justice Committee hearing. At the time, Comey insisted that he had never been authorized to leak information to the media about Trump¡¯s ¡°Russia¡± investigation. And according to the Justice Department report, Comey¡¯s deputy deputy Andrew McCabe admitted that Comey authorized him to leak information to the media at the time.

Following the announcement of Comey¡¯s prosecution, Trump immediately posted four consecutive posts on social media saying that Comey ¡°has been very bad for the United States for a long time¡± and now ¡°justice has finally been extended.¡± he accused Comey of being a ¡°dirty police officer¡± and a ¡°poor little guy.¡± he wrote, ¡°One of the worst people in the country ever, is the former FBI director, the corrupt Comey. He has been so bad for our country for a long time, and now he begins to take responsibility for the crimes he has committed against our country.¡±

Comey was a Republican and now non-partisan. In 2004, during his tenure as Attorney General, he refused to approve the Bush administration¡¯s plans to conduct secret interrogations in the country without Congress¡¯ authorization. For this, he was praised by Congressional Democratic lawmakers. In 2013, Comey was nominated as FBI Director by Democratic President Barack Obama. In 2016, during the critical period of the U.S. presidential election, Comey announced that after the FBI investigation, there was no evidence that Democratic candidate Hillary had intentionally violated the ¡°Posta Gate¡± incident, and suggested not to prosecute. This move for Hillary removed the ¡°election burden¡±, and Comey blamed the Republican party. After that, Hillary was still failing in the presidential election, and the Democratic party then accused Trump of ¡°

"My family and I have known for years that there is a price to fight Trump, but we can't imagine living otherwise. We don't live on our knees," Comey posted on social media after knowing he was indicted. Comey described himself as "innocent" and he was "heartbroken" for American justice. According to the Associated Press, Comey will be arraigned before a judge for the first time in Virginia on October 9.

Who will be the next avenger?

"Sue Komi, Trump fulfills his promise of revenge." The Washington Post said on the 27th that since Trump entered the White House again, he has always regarded revenge as the core promise of his second term. He revoked security clearances and even Secret Service protection from former President Biden, former Vice President Harris and Hillary Clinton. He dismissed many prosecutors who had participated in his investigation, and even used his power to punish lawyers who had supported their opponents. Trump previously dismissed Virginia Attorney Chief Sibert, who had reservations about prosecuting Comey, appointed his aide Halligan to take over the post, and immediately sought to prosecute Comey from the grand jury. After Comey was indicted, his son-in-law, Virginia prosecutor Edwards, submitted his resignation to chief prosecutor Halligan. A few months ago, Komi's daughter, Maureen, then the federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, was dismissed by the Ministry of Justice.

The Daily Telegraph on Monday that Trump was asked who his next vengeance target would be before Comey was prosecuted and said: ¡°This is not a list, but I think there will be others.¡± ¡°When reporters asked if he was worried about the future presidential appearance of the Democratic Party, he and his officials would be prosecuted, Trump said: ¡°They have been chasing me for four years and have been chasing me.¡± ¡°The White House senior officials threatened that Biden¡¯s Deputy Minister of Justice Lisa Monaco ¡°should now seek asylum.¡± Monaco had played a core role in the investigation of the January 6, 2021 Congressional riots. On January 26, Trump accused Monaco of being ¡°corrupt and mentally confused,¡± demanding that Monaco was dismissed by Microsoft.

American politics has become a bloody movement.

According to CNN, former Vice President Harris responded to Komi's indictment: "This is frustrating, but more importantly, it is really painful to see this situation." Senator Mark Warner, D-Virginia, said: "Trump's move has clearly shown that he has turned the judicial system into a weapon to punish and silence critics. Our system relies on the prosecution to make decisions based on evidence and the law, not on the personal grievances of a politician determined to settle old scores."

The British "Economist" said that the "TongRumen" investigation was a blow to Trump. In his view, it was a "deep state conspiracy" aimed at sabotaging his first term. He's been talking about revenge ever since, and now he's acting on it. Trump has repeatedly asked to prosecute Komi before, saying: "They (the Democratic Party) have impeached me twice and prosecuted me five times! There is no reason for this. Justice must be done, and it must be done now!!!"

The San Francisco Chronicle said that considering Komi's experience, people didn't like him. But the highly abnormal procedure that led to Comey's indictment should make anyone worried about the fairness of the rule of law in the United States. The president of the United States has great power, and the prosecution of Komi shows that the United States has entered a stage where "anyone can be the next victim".

The American Courier said on the 27th that more than a century after Lincoln's assassination, the United States found itself in another era of political revenge and violence. In recent decades, people have witnessed how partisanship has further divided American society. People attack each other rather than communicate with each other, which exacerbates polarization and turns politics into a "bloody sport".
