检察官建议不对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米提起指控
摘要
弗吉尼亚州联邦检察官建议不对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米以伪证罪提起指控，理由是证据不足。
弗吉尼亚州联邦检察官结束了对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米为期两个月的调查，认定没有足够证据支持针对其2020年国会作证的伪证指控。在一份详细备忘录中，检察官建议美国检察官林赛·哈利根，认为没有合理依据获得起诉或定罪。
尽管有此建议，哈利根计划将案件提交大陪审团，遵循总统唐纳德·特朗普指示起诉政治对手。特朗普最近表示，“我只是希望人们采取行动，他们必须采取行动，我们希望迅速行动”，并指示司法部长潘·邦迪对科米及其他人提起指控。
哈利根曾是一名保险律师，没有检察经验，职业检察官曾警告她，寻求指控将违反司法部政策并引发伦理问题。然而，她打算继续推进，符合其近期任命时收到的指令。
随着涉嫌罪行的五年诉讼时效临近结束，推动起诉的压力加大。这一进展发生在前美国检察官埃里克·西伯特辞职之后，他曾面临对其他政治人物提起指控的压力。特朗普之前的法律挑战被用来为这些行动辩护，总统对其对手未被采取行动表示沮丧。
对科米的调查始于八月初，重点关注他2020年关于2016年俄罗斯干预选举的证词。检察官审查其陈述是否支持伪证或妨碍司法指控，但发现证据不足以继续。
“我会说，主要是按规矩办的，合适，而且必须这么做，”科米在2016年关于调查时作证说。
最终，检察官得出结论，指控可能无法获得定罪，且不符合起诉的合理依据标准。
