A resolution condemning James B. Comey, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for inciting violence against President Donald J. Trump.
This is a Senate Resolution (S. Res. 268) introduced in the 119th Congress. It formally condemns James B. Comey for an Instagram post alleged to incite violence against President Donald J. Trump. The resolution characterizes the post as an incitement and calls for accountability, including efforts to bar Comey from federal employment and to have the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conduct a full investigation into his actions, with the findings released to relevant congressional committees and the public. It is a non-binding expression of the Senate’s position, not a law. Because it is a resolution, it does not itself create new legal requirements or penalties. Instead, it signals political judgment, directs or requests action by other branches (DOJ, DHS), and potentially influences subsequent oversight or policy discussions.
