Comey was charged amid the president’s repeated calls for investigations of his political opponents.

Former FBI Director James Comey will appear in a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday for his arraignment on charges brought after a public campaign by President Donald Trump to prosecute him.

A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted Comey, whom Trump fired during his first term in office, on two charges last month: making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

Trump had posted just days earlier on his social media platform, calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge Comey. “We can’t delay any longer,” he wrote.

    Its a shame no one was able to dig up evidence on Trump in some sort of investigation for years and then use that evidence to charge him with a crime then old James wouldn’t have to be going through this /s
