January 1, Media Falsehoods Unraveled in Comey Indictment

Wyatt’s Take

• The media spread claims about grand jury process that weren’t true.
• Official transcripts show the full grand jury voted on the real charges.
• The confusion began with a judge’s misunderstanding, not wrongdoing by prosecutors.

Recent headlines claimed a federal grand jury didn’t see the final indictment for ex-FBI Director James Comey. Reports said only two jurors had reviewed the charges while the others were left out of the process.

But official records from the Department of Justice prove the entire jury approved the two counts that moved forward. The error came from a judge’s mix-up about how Count One was dropped, not from a shady process.

Attorney Mike Davis and a court transcript confirm the grand jury rejected Count One but agreed on the charges that matter. The DOJ filing shows any talk of the jury not voting on the real charges is untrue.

Prosecutor Tyler Lemons explained the second indictment simply removed the count the jury didn’t support, confirming this is routine. Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. Attorney, said there was no misleading, just a mistaken reading of what happened.

After pushing claims that turned out false, the same outlets are now blaming the DOJ for “reversing” itself—when really, the facts never changed. The truth is the grand jury indicted Comey for lying to Congress and obstructing a proceeding, with all jurors signing off on those charges.

Don’t let the big headlines fool you—often they rely on confusion, not hard facts. Stay alert and keep demanding the truth.
