SMOKING GUN? James Comey Caught Red-Handed In Bombshell Report

A bombshell set of newly declassified FBI documents is creating questions over former FBI Director James Comey’s role in shaping the “Russia collusion” narrative against President Donald Trump — and whether classified information was intentionally leaked to damage Trump’s presidency.

The revelations were discussed by Just the News founder John Solomon during an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, where he detailed how Comey bypassed official FBI press channels to manipulate the media narrative in Washington. According to Solomon, Comey sought to rehabilitate his image among Democrats after the 2016 election while simultaneously harming Trump’s reputation.

“What you find out is that James Comey decided not to work through the FBI press office when he wanted to change the narrative in Washington, burnish his reputation against attacks from Democrats, and try to sully Donald Trump’s reputation,” Solomon said.

Democrats, Solomon noted, were furious with Comey for announcing — just before Election Day — that new evidence might exist in the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Hillary Clinton herself later blamed Comey for costing her the White House.

In an apparent effort to win back favor and promote the Russia collusion storyline, Comey allegedly turned to Columbia Law professor Daniel Richman as an unofficial media conduit.

Solomon explained that Richman admitted to the FBI that he used his relationship with New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt to push favorable coverage for Comey and help establish the collusion narrative. Schmidt was one of the authors of the Pulitzer Prize-winning series on Trump and Russia — the same reporting Trump is now suing over.

“This guy worked around the official channels of the FBI press office,” Solomon said. “At one point, the FBI noted, you met with James Comey. He gave you access to classified information. A short while later, you had a conversation with that New York Times reporter, and he ends up reporting something that appears to be classified.”

When pressed by the FBI, Richman gave what Solomon described as a Clinton-esque non-denial. The documents suggest the FBI had “strong suspicions” that Comey used Richman as a backchannel to leak sensitive material. But according to Solomon, there’s no indication that Comey or Richman were ever brought before a grand jury to answer for it.

“They didn’t put Comey before the grand jury. That we can tell. They didn’t appear to put this gentleman, Daniel Richman, before the grand jury,” Solomon said, comparing the inaction to how Rep. Adam Schiff has avoided legal accountability despite whistleblower allegations.

The result, Solomon argued, is yet another example of a “dual system of justice” inside the DOJ over the past six years — one in which political allies are shielded while Trump and his associates faced aggressive prosecution.

Solomon revealed that House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) confirmed to him these documents were never provided to Congress. They only surfaced years later thanks to material turned over by former Trump aide Kash Patel.

When Hannity asked if there was still legal exposure for Comey, Solomon noted that most classified information statutes carry a five-year statute of limitations — but some extend to ten years if the act was “willing and knowing.”

“I think if Pam Bondi goes the grand jury route… there is some pretty clear evidence of a strong apparatus put in place to make these leaks occur, according to the FBI documents,” Solomon said.

He concluded that a grand jury could still compel testimony to determine whether crimes were committed.

Solomon teased that more disclosures are coming — including details about how often the FBI was blocked from investigating alleged corruption tied to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

If the allegations in these newly declassified documents hold up, the Comey leak scandal could become one of the most glaring examples yet of partisan weaponization inside the FBI during Trump’s presidency.
