Former FBI Director James Comey has just been slapped with an indictment for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing justice and it might just be the beginning.
This bombshell case, debated fiercely on The Drill Down podcast, has Democrats crying "lawfare" against President Donald Trump's administration. Breitbart reported that Steve Bannon, a close Trump ally, hinted at even bigger legal battles on the horizon for other former intelligence heavyweights.
Democrats are sounding the alarm, accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing the legal system to target political foes.
They call it "lawfare"—a strategy of tying up opponents in court to drain their resources and reputations.
During Trump's first term, he and his associates, including Bannon himself, faced a barrage of legal challenges.
On The Drill Down podcast, hosted by Peter Schweizer, Bannon didn’t hold back, declaring, “I do think... the charges... are just the appetizers.”
He's predicting a legal feast, speculating that other former officials could soon face perjury or conspiracy charges.
Schweizer, maintaining a wait-and-see approach, admitted, “It seems... he’s guilty.”
He insists the trial will be the ultimate arbiter of Comey’s fate.
Still, he noted Comey’s questionable tactics, like interrogating Trump’s first chief of staff, Gen. Mike Flynn, without legal counsel present.
The concept of lawfare—using legal battles for political gain—has been around since the Watergate era of 1973.
Schweizer highlighted how some New York officials openly campaigned on promises to prosecute Trump, a strategy that reeks of predetermined outcomes.
Bannon insists this legal bullying “won’t stop until... forced,” suggesting drastic measures to rein in overreach.
