DOJ Procedural Collapse in Comey Case: Transcript Errors Waive Secrecy Argument

New Department of Justice filings attempting to defend the James Comey indictment reveal critical errors, forcing the government to waive arguments for secrecy and potentially leading to the dismissal of the entire prosecution due to procedural misconduct.

Short Summary

  • The DOJ, through prosecutor Lindsey Halligan, made contradictory public and sworn statements regarding the contents and presentation of the grand jury indictment.
  • Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick already identified two fundamental violations of Comey's Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights during the initial presentation.
  • By filing excerpts of the grand jury transcript to defend their actions, the DOJ effectively forfeited the right to withhold the full transcripts from the defense.
  • If Judge Nakmanoff moves to dismiss the indictment based on these defects or due to vindictive prosecution claims, James Comey likely cannot be re-indicted because the statute of limitations has passed.

This briefing details the sequence of errors made by the prosecution team concerning the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. We analyze the implications of the DOJ’s reluctant partial disclosure, which simultaneously confirms existing constitutional violations and waives the usual secrecy afforded to grand jury records, potentially collapsing the prosecution entirely.

Description

Trump's DOj and Lindsey Halligan just screwed up again in the Former FBI Director James Comey case, filing a grand jury transcript that hurts not helps their effort to try to save the indictment, and by doing so waiving any argument that the defense shouldn't be given a complete set of the grand jury records. Popok explains how this latest grand jury filing shows that not only is Halligan hopelessly confused including at the last hearing, but that she is in big trouble with the judge deciding whether she should be fired as US Attorney, too.

Bondi and Halligan deserve disbarment and criminal charges.

Every lawyer involved in the prosecution should be sanctioned and disbarred ASAP.

What's the penalty for lying to a Magistrate Judge and other federal judges? Oh, right, a presidential pardon.

The acts by Halligan are obviously criminal summary contempt of court. The judge has the power to put her in jail (without a trial). DO IT!

Isn't it ironic how halligan commits perjury in the perjury case against James Comey. Sounds like there should be an indictment against her.

Another loose Cannon. Knowing nothing, and a huge slice of corruption thrown in.

The new filling is a joke; they are just trying to cover up all of Halligan's mistakes. The case is dead and never coming back. Halligan needs to be disbarred.
