DOJ Emergency Motion Ignores Constitutional Blunders in Comey Indictment Proceedings

Learn why the Trump DOJ's emergency filing failed to address fundamental constitutional violations allegedly committed by prosecutor Lindsey Halligan. Discover the procedural steps remaining as the District Court judge reviews the magistrate judge's critical findings regarding prosecutorial misconduct.

Short Summary

  • Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick determined Halligan likely violated the Fifth and Sixth Amendments while instructing the grand jury.
  • The Department of Justice bypassed these constitutional findings in its emergency motion, focusing narrowly on attorney-client privilege disputes.
  • Evidence suggests both Halligan and AG Pam Bondi may have misled the court regarding missing grand jury transcripts.
  • The presiding Article 3 judge, Michael NakManov, has ordered full briefing on the magistrate judge's objections.

This segment analyzes the DOJ's unusual emergency motion filed in the James Comey case. Speaker Michael Popok emphasizes that the government chose to argue a technical privilege issue rather than defend against explosive findings from Judge Fitzpatrick concerning clear violations of Comey's constitutional rights during the indictment process. The next steps involve the District Court judge weighing these severe allegations.

Description

In a head scratching new "emergency motion" replete with typos, the Trump DOJ IGNORES the fact that a federal judge found that AG Pam Bondi and her US Attorney Lindsey Halligan may have lied in a court filing about the Former FBI Director Comey grand jury process, AND that Halligan likely violated not one but TWO constitutional principles when presenting the case to the Grand Jury, and instead focus on an unrelated issue to try to stop the immediate release to the defense of the grand jury materials. Popok explains what happens next with the District Court judge and why Halligan and Trump are likely to lose and quickly.

When a judge calls you a liar you are in trouble. When a Judge says you violated the defendants rights you are in trouble.

The missing two hours of the grand jury proceeding is way worse than the 18-minute gap on the Watergate tapes.
