Part 5/13:
Media and Political Reactions: Retribution or Justice?
The recent indictment has sparked heated debates across the political spectrum. Supporters argue that no one should be above the law, emphasizing that Comey’s actions—covering up and lying to Congress—warrant prosecution. Critics, however, see the process as politically motivated, aimed at damaging Trump’s legacy and eliminating opposition.
President Trump himself responded cautiously, noting that he does not know what will happen next but expressed confidence that the Department of Justice (DOJ)—led by Attorney General—will make appropriate decisions. Trump described Comey as a “bad person” and a “sick guy,” highlighting the narrative of comeuppance for those who allegedly engaged in misconduct.
