The net is closing in on Former FBI Director James Comey. The man who bragged about triggering the appointment of the Special Counsel is feeling the heat with recent developments.

Comey has seen himself as an avenger saving the Republic from the horrors of President Donald Trump. His book titled “A Higher Loyalty” proves this point. Victory Girls’ Nina wrote about Comey and his arrogant book last year. You can read it here. Last night, John Solomon posted a Comey update in The Hill. Solomon wrote that Inspector General Michael Horowitz and his team made referrals to the Department of Justice regarding leaked memos and the Justice declined to prosecute.

So, why do I say that the net is closing in on Comey now? Because, as Solomon reported in his piece, Inspector General Horowitz is still investigating and so is the Attorney General appointed attorney John Durham. Solomon wrote:

But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.

“There are significant issues emerging with how the FISA was handled and other conduct in the investigation, and everyone involved remains under scrutiny,” a second source said.

And, my favorite paragraph:

But the IG report, at least, reaffirms what has become painfully clear to Americans the past two years: Comey entered the FBI chief’s job with a reputation for excellence but ran a bureau that suffered from ineptitude, political shenanigans, leaking and significant human failings, all of which sharply contrast with the morality lectures he’s become famous for frequently offering since he was fired.

Remember two years ago, when Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee and said this:

The arrogance of this man lecturing us on morality, right? So, if the net is closing in on James Comey, I say, “Good”.

John Solomon wrote in his piece that:

The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey’s head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey’s conduct, sources tell me.

No, not demoralized. To quote the Wicked Witch of the West from the “Wizard of Oz”, “These things must be done delicately.” Let’s get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Barr, Horowitz and Durham should take their time and be absolutely certain that they get to the bottom of this attempted coup. Wherever this collusion leads, it needs to be followed to the end. No matter how far the rabbit hole we have to go down. No matter how high up the ladders of power we have to go up.

The net is closing in on Comey. He has to know it and that may be why he has not been moralizing at us. That’s a win, right there.
