Durbin Statement On Latest Baseless Indictment Of James Comey
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement regarding reporting that the Trump Administration secured a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, after its first ended in failure:
"With the Justice Department riddled with turmoil, its political leadership is clearly desperate to continue to appease Donald Trump by appealing to his worst instincts and need for petty retribution.
"Just like the last baseless indictment against Mr. Comey, this is another case of a weaponized Justice Department lashing out on behalf of a vengeful President."
