An FBI agent has been relieved of duty after refusing to participate in a proposed “perp walk” for former FBI Director James Comey, who was indicted last month on federal charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice.

Comey was formally charged on September 25 with making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation.
The indictment stems from his September 30, 2020, testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where prosecutors allege he made false statements regarding the FBI’s handling of classified information and obstructed inquiries related to the agency’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation.
That probe, launched in 2016, examined alleged Russian interference in the election and led to the now-discredited “Russia collusion” claims involving President Donald Trump.

Following the indictment, Comey was issued a summons to appear before a federal court in Northern Virginia for arraignment on October 9.
His attorneys notified prosecutors that he intends to appear voluntarily.
According to a report from CBS News, senior officials within the FBI discussed whether to stage an arrest rather than permit Comey to self-surrender.
The network, citing multiple sources familiar with internal deliberations, reported that some officials considered having agents execute the arrest “in full kit,” equipped with Kevlar vests and jackets clearly marked “FBI.”

The plan mirrored tactics used in several high-profile arrests during recent years, including pre-dawn raids on individuals connected to the events of January 6, 2021, and on former Trump administration officials such as Peter Navarro and Roger Stone.
Those operations drew widespread criticism for the use of heavily armed tactical teams to apprehend defendants charged with non-violent or procedural offenses.
The CBS News report stated that FBI Supervisory Special Agent Chris Ray, assigned to the violent crimes division of the bureau’s Washington Field Office, was instructed to organize the Comey operation.

However, Ray declined to comply with the directive, reportedly believing the proposed show of force was “inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey.”
A source familiar with the matter told the network that Ray was subsequently suspended for insubordination after refusing to assemble the tactical arrest team.
The source added that Ray’s suspension followed his internal objections to what he viewed as a politicized use of the FBI’s operational capabilities.
Despite the refusal, senior leadership within the bureau has continued preparations for a potential arrest before Comey’s scheduled court appearance.

According to CBS News, other supervisors have also voiced concerns about the optics and necessity of the plan, but the agency is expected to find personnel willing to carry out the order.
Comey’s indictment marks a rare prosecution of a former FBI director.
His testimony before Congress in 2020 had focused on the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane probe and the handling of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications targeting members of President Trump’s campaign.
The Justice Department’s inspector general later identified “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in those filings, though no charges had been brought against Comey until last month.

As of this week, it remains unclear whether the bureau will proceed with a formal arrest or permit Comey to appear voluntarily for his October 9 arraignment.
The Department of Justice has not commented on the internal dispute, and the FBI has not responded publicly to reports of Ray’s suspension.
The case has drawn attention across political circles given Comey’s prominent role in the FBI’s leadership during the 2016 election and his involvement in the investigations that shaped subsequent political controversies.
The outcome of the internal standoff within the FBI—and how the agency handles Comey’s court appearance—remains to be seen as the arraignment date approaches.

“No one is above the law”.
Proceed in kind, like the Gestapo (FBI) did under Biden.
The Biden FBI set the procedure, carry it on now.
Handcuffs and perp walk by a heavily-armed SWAT team at 5 AM is appropriate. Invite CNN to broadcast the event.
Greasy Gay Comey is guilty of much more than lying to congress and America. He was a key player in the attempted coup d’etat, spying on a Presidential candidate, and later an elected President to help in the years long attempted coup by the opposition political party.
Where was this guy during all the raids, arrests, and perp walks during the Biden-Comey Crime Spree? Why didn’t we hear him responsibly objecting to CBS back then? This is the kind of wrong-headed thinking that makes Conservatives lose all the time. We can’t kick Ilhan Omar from committees because we need to take the high road. “We have to be seen to be better than they are,” is nonsense. We ARE better than they are. We’ve already proven that and it’s not the issue anyway. The issue is making the statement in so bold and brazen a manner as to be a cautionary tale for the next 300 years to keep the communist agents in our country from daring to try this again. Make no mistake, the leaders of the Democrat party are communist agents who’s goal is to destroy American Values so as to facilitate the communist revolution here in America. It isn’t revenge and it isn’t even retribution.
Thank you, jmstettner. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Yep, perp walk that arrogant sob.

A good way to ID the deep state leftist spies still getting taxpayer-funded paychecks, and fire them. AntiFa is hiring.
Why not bring him in in his PJs? He’s a traitorous liar and deserves no quarter. HOWEVER, the optics of bias could work against Trump and us, at the trial. Is Luigi available?
Dirtbag commies like Comey never learn until they understand what they did themselves. Don’t telegraph the arrest, no cameras. Tell him he can self report on a certain date and the day before raid his house in the middle of the night, full team in military tactical gear busting down his door and dragging him out by his A-hole ankles. Then leave him laying in the lawn for an hour or two. This is the message these commies need to get in order to square things up and make them think twice about what they did again!!
The guy was alright with it being done to Conservatives at 6 am but not Comey who ordered this junk. Fire every one who even balks at it. Come on fire them.
What we have here is a Deep State litmus test.
Will you perp-walk James Comey?
No.
You’re fired!
he should be frog hopped…right to the gallows.
Comey is a traitor who was involved in a coup attempt.
He must be treated as such.
Guess he loves evil more than good
What’s good for the goose……..
Suspended? If I refused to do my job I would be fired
Just another psyop, they will do nothing to Comey.
Do not suspend the agent, fire him/her.
