FBI agent relieved of duty for refusing ‘showy’ Comey perp walk: report

The FBI has reportedly suspended an agent who refused to arrange a ‘perp’ walk of disgraced director James Comey, who was indicted for lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation last month.

According to a report by Reuters, the agent was relieved of duty for refusing to parade Comey in front of the media cameras, citing the now customary anonymous sources in “four people briefed on the matter.”

The former FBI boss was charged on September 25, igniting outrage from the usual suspects who screamed that President Donald J. Trump was weaponizing the justice system against his political enemies, not bothering to mention that Comey was among the power-abusing malefactors who changed the rules that they are now being made to play by.

During the height of the Russiagate hoax, a number of Trump allies were targeted for spectacular arrests, including Roger Stone whose South Florida home was raided by an army of FBI agents at the crack of dawn, with CNN being tipped off that it was going down. Heavily armed FBI agents carried out a Gestapo-style raid at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022, which also received sensational media coverage.

Comey is set to be arraigned on October 9 in Alexandria, Virginia.

“Reuters could not immediately determine how or when senior FBI officials wanted to stage bringing Comey into the bureau’s Washington field office,” the outlet reported. “Only a summons to appear in court was issued in the case, and not an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to an FBI field office for booking after a court summons is issued.”

CBS News reported that another anonymous source claimed that FBI leadership asked for “large, beefy” agents to carry out the allegedly “showy” arrest of Comey in “in full kit,” which would include “Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.”

The CBS report fingered Chris Ray, who’s a special agent in the FBI Washington Field Office’s violent crimes division, as the man who “would be able to put together the kinds of agents who fit the bill,” according to the unnamed source.

According to the outlet, “Ray refused to participate in this plan, believing it would be inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey, according to the source. He was then suspended for insubordination.”

Someone then ran and tattled to the media.

Comey’s attorney “declined to comment” for the Reuters story.  The nation’s former top cop has denied any wrongdoing, and after the indictment, defended himself in a typically sanctimonious video posted to Instagram.

“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I am innocent, so let’s have a trial, and keep the faith,” he said.

Comey was fired by Trump in 2017 and has since presented himself as a heroic figure, an act that’s been gobbled up by a media that can’t get enough of it and which will present him as a martyr during the trial, that is, if the case isn’t first thrown out by a Democrat-appointed judge.

Trump branded the pompous bad actor as a “dirty cop” and a “total slimeball” in a Truth Social post following the announcement of the indictment.

“No one is above the law,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement, using the phrase constantly invoked by Democrats and their media friends during the years-long lawfare onslaught that was conducted against Trump.
