James Comey stands accused in a federal case tied to a beach photo posted online. His lawyer insists the former FBI director only took the image and did not arrange the seashells. The defense highlights knowledge of who did place the items while calling the case weak. This development follows reports of a second indictment from a federal grand jury. The scene reflects ongoing tensions over Department of Justice actions against political figures.
The cartoon by R.J. Matson portrays former FBI Director James Comey as a giant figure bound by ropes on the ground outside a government building. Small caricatures of President Trump, Kash Patel in an FBI jacket, and other officials stand on his chest holding a scroll that reads "CHARGED IS GUILTY." A sign on the building reads "TRUMP Department of Justice REVENGE." One figure unrolls an "ENEMIES LIST" scroll. The caption at the bottom reads "AND FOR THE CRIME OF MAKING OUR GREAT PRESIDENT LOOK PETTY, VINDICTIVE, AND SMALL..." The image responds to reports of Comey facing indictment proceedings under the current administration's justice officials as of late September 2025.
