Former FBI Director James Comey will be arraigned on two felony counts in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on Wednesday. News reports indicate that he is charged with obstruction and lying to Congress about a scheme to leak information to the press about an FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ‘s use of a computer server to store government documents illegally. To the surprise of many, the charges against Comey aren’t related to anything he did to President Donald Trump.
I certainly don’t know if Comey is guilty of the crimes with which he has been charged. As a defense attorney, I always stand by the fundamental American legal principle that every criminal defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond
