COMMENTARY

By Tom Fitton - Tuesday, January 6, 2026

OPINION: 


In America, the rule of law depends upon there being one system of justice for the entire country, but let’s be honest: Until now, that hasn’t been true.

The Washington establishment has operated under a double standard: One for them and another for everyone else. James B. Comey, Letitia “Tish” James and John R. Bolton, all now targeted for or under indictment, are not victims of “retribution,” as the leftist media and Democrats loudly claim. They are facing long-overdue accountability for alleged criminal misconduct tied to abuse of power, deception and the weaponization of government against political opponents and the rule of law itself.

The liberal media’s narrative of “revenge” is a convenient distraction. It ignores the years of documented misconduct that helped erode public trust in our institutions — much of which Judicial Watch exposed through litigation and investigations. These cases aren’t about politics; they are about restoring equal justice and integrity to the system that the political left corrupted. 

The indictment of Mr. Comey, a former FBI director, on charges of obstruction of a congressional proceeding and making false statements, should come as no surprise to those who have followed the man’s record. Judicial Watch uncovered evidence that the FBI retrieved personal memos from Mr. Comey after he left office, which he had either leaked or kept without authorization. We obtained documents showing that he coordinated with Robert Mueller’s team before his 2017 testimony and used his office to promote a baseless case against President Trump.
