The discovery of handwritten notes by James Comey has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power, echoing the scandal that consumed Richard Nixon decades ago. These aren’t just notes; they are a potential turning point, revealing a calculated effort to undermine a presidential election and a disturbing pattern of deceit at the highest levels of government.
Comey’s scribbled words, salvaged from “burn bags” hidden within the FBI, confirm long-held suspicions: he knew the “Russia collusion” narrative was a fabrication from its inception. Hillary Clinton’s campaign, according to the notes and subsequent investigations, actively sought to discredit Donald Trump by falsely linking him to Russian interference – a plan approved on July 26, 2016. Comey, when questioned under oath, had previously claimed no recollection of this plot.
The notes, dated September 26, 2016, simply state: “HRC plan to tie Trump.” A chillingly concise admission, attributed to then-CIA Director John Brennan, that exposes a deliberate attempt to manipulate the American public. This information was shared with President Obama and Vice President Biden, yet remained concealed from the nation as the fabricated scandal took root.
Instead of exposing Clinton’s scheme, Comey actively used it. He concealed the truth, protecting the architect of the deception while simultaneously launching an investigation into her political opponent. This wasn’t simply a failure to act; it was a calculated decision to weaponize the FBI for partisan gain. His actions directly contradicted recommendations from intelligence officials who urged pursuing criminal charges against Clinton for her actions.
The timeline reveals a disturbing pattern. On July 5, 2016, Comey inexplicably cleared Clinton of wrongdoing in the email scandal, despite clear evidence of mishandling classified information. Simultaneously, the FBI was secretly meeting with the author of the infamous, and ultimately debunked, “dossier” used to smear Trump. Comey, anticipating a Clinton victory, even boasted about future opportunities.
When Trump defied expectations and won the election, Comey didn’t concede. He doubled down on the “collusion” hoax, relentlessly pursuing a campaign to destroy Trump’s presidency. This wasn’t about justice; it was about power, and a desperate attempt to overturn the will of the voters. It’s a stark illustration of how easily institutions can be corrupted and weaponized against those they are meant to serve.
The recovered documents extend beyond Comey’s notes, revealing a broader pattern of misconduct. Comey was caught covertly manipulating the media, celebrating successful leaks with a chillingly casual message: “Well done my friend. Who knew this would be so uh fun.” He even used an alias, “Reinhold Niebuhr,” to conceal his clandestine activities.
These revelations are emerging as Comey fights his own legal battles, ironically claiming vindictive prosecution. The government’s response has unearthed a trove of classified documents from the “burn bags,” revealing a coordinated effort to obstruct justice and destroy evidence. The attempt to incinerate these records just before the 2025 inauguration is a brazen act of desperation.
The scope of the alleged conspiracy extends to the January 6th Capitol breach, the 2020 election dispute, and even the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago. A secret FBI investigation, codenamed “Arctic Frost,” authorized by Attorney General Merrick Garland, resulted in the surreptitious collection of communications from hundreds of Republicans, including senators and media organizations.
Now, a grand jury in South Florida is investigating the full extent of these alleged abuses of power, examining evidence that spans multiple presidential elections. The investigation is focusing on potential violations of civil rights laws, specifically the willful deprivation of constitutional rights under the guise of legal authority. The evidence suggests a systematic effort to target and torment a political opponent.
The discovery of these documents represents a reckoning. The enemy, it appears, was not external, but within – individuals who abused their positions of power to subvert the justice system and undermine the democratic process. The American people were harmed, forced to endure a divisive national trauma that should never have occurred. The question now is whether those responsible will finally be held accountable, or if, like Nixon, they will somehow evade justice.
