PERSON 1 and PERSON 3 in Bombshell Comey

As the ramifications of the gorgeous and some would say long overdue indictment of former FBI Director James Comey continue to sink in, new data is rising—particularly about two people labeled as PERSON 1 and PERSON 3 in the submitting.

ABC News is reporting that Hillary Clinton is PERSON 1, as RedState’s Rusty Weiss postulated earlier Friday, and that PERSON 3 is Comey buddy and one-time personal lawyer, Daniel Richman.

We are also studying more about the fees, and the DOJ is alleging that Comey is a flat-out liar.  ABC News senior investigative reporter Mike Levine posted to X Friday night: 

The Justice Department is still offering few particulars about their case against former FBI director James Comey, but @ABC News has discovered that Count 1 of the indictment, charging Comey with making false statements, focuses on his alleged position in having his close buddy and former…

Levine continued in his tweet, saying his sources have confirmed the identities:

…personal lawyer, Daniel Richman, present data to reporters about an FBI investigation related to Hillary Clinton.

In the indictment, Count 1 says that Comey “willfully and knowingly” lied when, testifying under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020, he reaffirmed earlier Senate testimony insisting he never “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” about an investigation related to somebody only recognized as “PERSON 1.”

“That statement was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding [the] FBI investigation,” the indictment reads.

Sources inform ABC News that “PERSON 1” is Clinton and “PERSON 3” is Richman.

Levine had more and said that officers allege that Comey used Richman as his secret back door to leak to the media:

The newly-released FBI paperwork say that while “Comey instructed the FBI to hire Richman as a Special Government Employee” — with “a Top Secret clearance” — to work on “Going Dark” issues, “Comey also used Richman as a liaison to the media.”

(*1*) the FBI said in a September 2021 report on its investigation. “Richman did this both when he was an SGE and after he resigned from the FBI.”

Granted, this report comes from ABC, which is a component of the mainstream media cabal identified for shading tales and printing misinformation if it hurts Trump. However, this story isn’t of the “Get Trump!” selection, and Levine’s clarification appears affordable given the information identified at this time.

We’ll know soon enough. In the meantime, stock up on your Orville Redenbacher, because this case guarantees to be fairly the drama.
