The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that disgraced former FBI Director James Comey was given the royal treatment by the Department of Justice on Wednesday, quietly entering through a back door for his arraignment, no handcuffs, no cameras, and no perp walk.
Comey, who faces two felony charges, was allowed to bypass the same public humiliation that the DOJ and FBI inflicted on Trump allies like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.
On War Room, Steve Bannon was furious over what he called a “major screwup” that allowed the disgraced former FBI director to avoid the humiliation every other Trump ally faced.
Bannon reminded viewers that when he and Peter Navarro faced federal charges, they walked proudly into court through the front door, surrounded by cameras, determined to face the music head-on unlike Comey.
Steve Bannon:
They slipped Comey into another entrance so he didn’t have to come through here. This is bullshit. I don’t know who at DOJ and who at the FBI, or I hope the White House understands this, that instead of Navarro and I, and look, I proudly walked in there because I was proud of what I did. I’m not going to have the media.…They allowed Comey to do something they didn’t allow anybody else to do. This is the problem. The problem is the system is rigged on these guys’ side. It’s got to stop. Is Comey going to be shackled? Is Comey going to be strip-searched? Why? Comey is there for felonies.
…Why is Comey not not coming in from outside? Everybody has to. There’s no way of taking you below a thing. And I don’t want to hear security. You don’t think there was higher security had taken out Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro, right, than James Komi? Mike Davis, how could we have allowed this to happen? Comey is in court right now. I think he just pled not guilty.
The DOJ runs this If anybody at the DOJ said that was fine, that is not good with the warrant. Posse is not good with MAGA. We want Comey to get the exact same treatment.
According to Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project and former Senate Judiciary counsel, this wasn’t necessarily a deep-state favor, it may have been a bureaucratic blunder that spared Comey from public humiliation.
Mike Davis:
I have the answer. There was a summons issued instead of an arrest warrant. I think that was an oversight. And so they couldn’t have him. They could not have Komi surrender with the FBI when there was a summons instead of an arrest warrant. I think it was an administrative mistake, and it was not intentional.
