For years, one name haunted the political establishment — a man once praised as incorruptible, later accused of weaponizing the highest law enforcement agency in the nation.
Now, that same man faces a criminal indictment.
And in the hours after the news broke, a powerful message echoed across Fox News: “The weaponization of the legal system has ended.”
Those words came from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who appeared on Hannity Friday night — a segment that instantly went viral, not only for her fiery tone but for what it symbolized.
A turning point. A reckoning. The end of an era that had once placed former FBI Director James Comey at the center of American politics.
A Day That Shook Washington
When the Justice Department confirmed the indictment Thursday afternoon, it sent shockwaves through Washington.
Comey — the man whose public image once rested on a reputation for integrity — now stood accused of lying to Congress and obstructing an investigation.
Two felony counts.
One fallen icon.
And a nation watching.
For many Americans, especially those who had followed the saga of the Russia probe from the beginning, the moment felt surreal.
How had the country gone from lionizing James Comey as a defender of democracy to seeing him booked on federal charges?
Bondi’s answer was blunt.
“You shouldn’t be nervous any longer,” she told Sean Hannity. “Because Donald Trump is in office — and the weaponization has ended.”
Her words cut through the noise.
