In what appears to have been an attempt to regain favor on the Left and keep the Russia collusion narrative alive, Comey reportedly turned to Columbia Law School professor Daniel Richman as an unofficial go-between for the press.
According to Solomon, Richman later admitted to the FBI that he used his connection with New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt to push stories that would help Comey and strengthen the collusion storyline. Schmidt went on to co-author the Pulitzer Prize-winning series on Trump and Russia — reporting that Trump is now suing over.

“This guy worked around the official channels of the FBI press office,” Solomon said. “At one point, the FBI noted, you met with James Comey. He gave you access to classified information. A short while later, you had a conversation with that New York Times reporter, and he ends up reporting something that appears to be classified.”
When questioned by the FBI, Richman gave what Solomon described as a “Clinton-esque non-denial.” The documents reveal that the bureau had “strong suspicions” Comey used Richman as a backchannel to leak sensitive information. Yet, Solomon pointed out, there’s no sign either man was ever brought before a grand jury.
“They didn’t put Comey before the grand jury. That we can tell. They didn’t appear to put this gentleman, Daniel Richman, before the grand jury,” Solomon said, likening the situation to how Rep. Adam Schiff has also avoided legal repercussions despite multiple allegations.
This, Solomon argued, is another glaring example of a “dual system of justice” at the Department of Justice — one where political allies are shielded from accountability while Trump and his associates have faced aggressive legal action.
Even more troubling, Solomon revealed that House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) confirmed to him that these documents were never turned over to Congress. They only came to light years later thanks to evidence released by former Trump aide Kash Patel.
When asked if Comey still faced any legal risk, Solomon noted that most classified information violations carry a five-year statute of limitations — though some extend to ten years if the act was “willing and knowing.”
“I think if Pam Bondi goes the grand jury route… there is some pretty clear evidence of a strong apparatus put in place to make these leaks occur, according to the FBI documents,” Solomon said.
He concluded that a grand jury could still subpoena testimony to determine whether laws were broken.
Solomon also hinted that more revelations are on the way — including records showing how often FBI leadership blocked corruption probes tied to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
If these allegations are accurate, Comey’s alleged leaks could stand as one of the clearest examples yet of partisan weaponization inside the FBI during Trump’s presidency — a scandal that would further erode public trust in the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
