As the ramifications of the stunning and some would say long overdue indictment of former FBI Director James Comey continue to sink in, new information is emerging—specifically about two individuals labeled as PERSON 1 and PERSON 3 in the filing.
ABC News is reporting that Hillary Clinton is PERSON 1, as RedState’s Rusty Weiss postulated earlier Friday, and that PERSON 3 is Comey friend and one-time personal lawyer, Daniel Richman.
We are also learning more about the charges, and the DOJ is alleging that Comey is a flat-out liar. ABC News senior investigative reporter Mike Levine posted to X Friday evening:
The Justice Department is still offering few details about their case against former FBI director James Comey, but @ABC News has learned that Count 1 of the indictment, charging Comey with making false statements, focuses on his alleged role in having his close friend and former…

Levine continued in his tweet, saying his sources have confirmed the identities:
…personal lawyer, Daniel Richman, provide information to reporters about an FBI investigation connected to Hillary Clinton.
In the indictment, Count 1 says that Comey “willfully and knowingly” lied when, testifying under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2020, he reaffirmed previous Senate testimony insisting he never “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” about an investigation connected to someone only identified as “PERSON 1.”
“That statement was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding [the] FBI investigation,” the indictment reads.
Sources tell ABC News that “PERSON 1” is Clinton and “PERSON 3” is Richman.

Levine had more and said that officials allege that Comey used Richman as his secret back door to leak to the media:
The newly-released FBI documents say that while “Comey instructed the FBI to hire Richman as a Special Government Employee” — with “a Top Secret clearance” — to work on “Going Dark” matters, “Comey also used Richman as a liaison to the media.”

“Richman contacted journalists to correct stories critical of Comey, the FBI and to shape future press coverage,” the FBI said in a September 2021 report on its investigation. “Richman did this both when he was an SGE and after he resigned from the FBI.”
Granted, this report comes from ABC, which is part of the mainstream media cabal known for shading stories and printing misinformation if it hurts Trump. However, this story isn’t of the “Get Trump!” variety, and Levine’s explanation seems reasonable given the facts known at this time.
We’ll know soon enough. In the meantime, stock up on your Orville Redenbacher, because this case promises to be quite the drama.
