“In today’s political discourse, diametrically opposite viewpoints, or asserted ‘facts,’ seem ingrained. The Sept. 25 indictment of former FBI Director James Comey by the U.S. Department of Justice underscores this rift. Among lawmakers of each party, for example, views are reliably partisan. Yet in the wider arena of public comment, conservative and liberal observers are more in agreement than in argument: They see this action as a proving ground for the country’s system of democratic rule of law and checks on power, while cautioning that ‘lawfare’ (using courts to intimidate or hinder an opponent) does not honor justice. Mr. Comey faces two charges – perjury and obstruction of justice. The administration’s case is seen as generally weak by legal experts from across the spectrum. President Donald Trump publicly demanded that Mr. Comey be prosecuted, even after previous investigations found insufficient grounds to do so.” (09/29/25)
