NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: James Comey is warning that more legal trouble could be coming for President Donald Trump’s rivals, saying he is "preparing for three and four" more indictments himself.

Comey also warned former leaders like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to "steel myself for things to happen" as the Department of Justice moves forward with new cases.

James Comey warns Obama and Hillary Clinton to prepare

James Comey believes the legal net is widening to include former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. When asked whether the president’s rivals could be targeted next, Comey warned them to prepare for serious legal battles.

“I hope they’re consulting with good lawyers because the president is telling the Department of Justice, which is an adjunct of his vengeance campaign, to go after these people. So if I’m them, I would steel myself for things to happen,” he said.

Comey is already under indictment over a post in which he arranged seashells to display the numbers “86 47,” which the Department of Justice has labeled a "true threat" against the 47th president.

Instead of showing remorse, Comey told CNN that he expects the legal pressure to continue and believes his future could be filled with more court dates.

When asked if he really believed he would face more charges, Comey replied, "I'm preparing for three and four. I mean, it's not gonna stop, given who is currently president of the United States and the way he has shaped or really torn apart the Justice Department, it's not gonna stop until they're gone from office," he stated.

Comey’s remarks highlight the scale of the ongoing investigations surrounding his conduct.

James Comey calls Trump ‘nuts’

With legal pressure mounting, Comey turned to personal criticism of President Trump’s mental state and social media activity.

He claimed that the president’s habit of posting late-night updates was a sign that he was losing his grip, calling his behavior "nuts."

Comey remarked, “He doesn’t seem okay to me. And I know that sounds like a political shot. It seems like there’s something wrong with the man. There was always something wrong with the man in that he lacks a moral center. But this seems off, this middle of the night obsessive Truth after– not an actual truth, but a reTruthing, reTuthing on his platform, seems crazy to me.”

He ended his assessment with a direct jab, “He seems different in a bad way. Not different in you redid your hair. I mean, different in, you seem nuts, buddy.”



Trump administration defends James Comey indictment

President Trump has consistently fired back at the man he calls a “dirty cop,” arguing that Comey’s own actions pose the real threat to the country.

The administration maintains that Comey’s indictment is about upholding the law and ensuring that those in power cannot use their platforms to incite hostility.

While some legal experts debate the strength of the seashell case, the president’s supporters see the prosecution as a necessary step toward holding the former FBI chief accountable for his actions and rooting out government corruption.
