Recent indictments against former FBI Director James Comey, including April 2026 charges in North Carolina for alleged threats to the president via a 2025 social media post, have not shifted trader consensus against a 2026 prison sentence. Trial scheduling into late 2026, combined with appeals processes and the high bar for proving willful intent in such communications, underpins the 97.7% implied probability on "No." A guilty verdict followed by immediate sentencing before year-end remains the primary scenario that could alter this outcome.
