What to know about the James Comey indictment and what happens next

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

27% : Documents now public in court appear to pinpoint Comey's answer to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he was asked prior knowledge he may have had on an alleged plan from Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign that could help her campaign and hurt Trump's.
26% : They'll be able to ask the judge to dismiss the charges, discuss public statements the Justice Department and, potentially Donald Trump himself, have made about Comey, and review all of the evidence before a trial.
19% : The current political climate, with Trump and top White House advisers calling broadly for the prosecution of Comey, is likely to factor into the case - as the court proceedings are likely one of the most intense political standoffs since Trump himself faced criminal charges, which were later dropped.
6% : Comey, the long-time nemesis of Donald Trump from the early days of Trump's first term, has been criminally charged with two felonies, both related to a lie he allegedly told Congress in 2020.
