Is Jim Comey‘s Son-in-Law at the DOJ Attempting to Shield Him from Arrest?
While many are aware that Jim Comey has a daughter who was recently dismissed from the DOJ, few know that he also has a son-in-law working there.
Previously, we reported that Jim Comey’s son-in-law, Troy Edwards, served as a prosecutor in the Oath Keepers trial related to the January 6 events, where the DOJ alleged—based on questionable evidence—that the Oath Keepers planned an insurrection.
Edwards stated during the trial:
“By responding to Rhodes’ call to action following the 2020 election, the defendants accepted an ‘invitation to sedition.'”
However, defense attorney Angela Halim contended that there was no concrete plan to disrupt the proceedings, asserting that the Oath Keepers were present in Washington merely to provide security.
Edwards’ involvement in prosecuting January 6 defendants raises significant concerns about a conflict of interest. As the son-in-law of James Comey—who has been openly critical of President Trump and involved in the alleged Russia collusion attempt—Edwards should have recused himself but did not.
In our earlier report about the DOJ’s dismissal of several January 6 prosecutors, we speculated that Edwards might be among them; however, he remains with the DOJ as of early March, continuing to work on the high-profile Abbey Gate case.
The DOJ issued a statement in March regarding a terrorist captured in connection with this case:
“This evil ISIS-K terrorist orchestrated the brutal murder of 13 heroic service members,” stated Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Under President Trump’s strong leadership on the world stage, this Department of Justice will ensure that terrorists like Mohammad Sharifullah have no safe haven, no second chances, and no worse enemy than the United States of America.”
FBI Director Kash Patel added, “The lethal attack that killed 13 American service members and Afghan civilians during the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan was an act of terrorism.”
He continued, “Thanks to the assistance of the FBI, Department of Justice, and the CIA, we have secured Sharifullah’s apprehension and transport to the U.S. to face American justice.”
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael P. Ben’Ary and Troy A. Edwards, Jr., along with Trial Attorneys from the National Security Division, are prosecuting this case.
Notably absent from the DOJ’s press release is the report that those in charge at Abbey Gate on the day of the attack allegedly ordered a stand-down, which some believe could have prevented the tragic loss of life.
Reports indicate that James Comey may soon face arrest for his involvement in actions related to the attempted coup against the Trump Administration, which began during Obama’s presidency.
Later in the day, sources revealed that prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia provided a memo to the newly appointed U.S. Attorney outlining reasons against bringing charges against Comey, citing insufficient evidence to establish probable cause or secure a conviction.
According to Justice Department guidelines, cases should only be pursued if prosecutors believe they can achieve a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.
This information was initially reported by ABC News, while the EDVA declined to comment.
Is Jim Comey’s son-in-law involved in crafting this memo? What is his connection to this situation? Why has the DOJ allowed him to remain in his position, considering potential conflicts of interest due to his familial ties to Comey, who is reportedly facing arrest?
Officials like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Lindsey Halligan should be made aware that Jim Comey’s son-in-law may be a conflict of interest in their midst.
