“For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust,” said FBI Director Kash Patel following the Justice Department’s charging of former FBI Director James Comey with perjury and obstruction of Congress.

Comey’s right-hand man, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, was not charged by the Department of Justice in 2020 after the DOJ’s inspector general found that he had “authorized an aide to talk with The Wall Street Journal about the FBI's probe into the Clinton Foundation,” according to NPR.

James Clapper lied to Congress about the nature and scope of the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance operations.
Former CIA Director John Brennan lied two times under oath to Congress.
