Traitor George publiciaing his willful ignorance again

 

Trump's DOJ timid response was

even if the judge were to conclude that there are defects to Halligan' appointment,
the two indictments should not be tossed out altogether.

​

not even a faint praise for the former insurance lawyer !

​

 

Judge in Comey case has ordered prosecutors to hand over
a full transcript of Halligan's presentation to the grand jury
that voted to indict Comey.


Judge Cameron Currie said in an order Tuesday that a transcript handed over by prosecutors

"fails to include remarks made by the indictment signer both before and after the testimony of the sole witness,
which remarks were referenced by the indictment signer during the witness's testimony."​

Charging Comey Could Land Lindsey Halligan in Hot Water

An ethics professor from Halligan’s law school warns that if she pursues charges against the former
FBI director without probable cause, she could be disciplined by the Florida bar.​

Judge questioning interim U.S. attorney's authority in
Comey, James cases

 

US District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie in Alexandria, Virginia, said she would issue a ruling before the Thanksgiving holiday.

“The only thing that matters is if Ms. Halligan had proper authority when she stood in front of the grand jury — and she did not,” Comey’s attorney Ephraim McDowell told the judge, who was presiding over the first hearing in the case.

The government viewed the matter as “a paperwork error,”
said Henry Charles Whitaker, the Justice Department’s attorney.

 

yet another incompetent Trump stooge going down

must’ve gotten her law degree from Trump University

 

The only thing that appears to be BREAKING here is the indictment.

LAUGHABLE

 

Hey @El_Conquistador you quiet all of sudden.

 

Why do these seemingly well-to-do people (i.e. not obviously desperate or dumber than a sack of hammers) keep lighting their careers on fire for Trump?

What pot of gold is at the end of this piss colored rainbow?

 

Trump 2.0's prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey is facing death by a thousand procedural errors.

Judge finds 'profound' missteps, by the former insurance lawyer,
in US probe of FBI ex-chief James Comey

Alexandria, Virginia-based U.S. Magistrate judge Fitzgerald said he would order prosecutors to turn over grand jury materials
to Comey's defense for use in a potential future legal motion to have the charges dismissed.

Comey is home free before he’s ever put on trial.



“This is what happens when you try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney.

 

I’m starting to think it’s more mafioso than we think.

 

Former Trump White House Lawyer Predicts DOJ’s Case Against Comey Is ‘Dead,’ Says Bondi and Halligan Could Be Disbarred

Ty Cobb, former Trump WH lawyer, said Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick’s opinion today will be taught
in law schools for 50 years as the epitome of prosecutorial misconduct.”

The former insurance lawyer, in her presentation to the grand jury, committed several acts of
prosecution misconduct. it is grounds for disbarment. to the extent that Pam Bondi had ratified
Halligan's presentation to the grand jury, the AG should also be disbarred.​

 

This IS pretty extraordinary. I'm no lawyer, but even I know defendants always have the 5th right against self-incrimination, meaning they can refuse to testify at trial.

The "burden shifting" here refers to the prosecutor telling jurors not to worry because Comey could "give his explanation" at trial. But that's backwards. It's a basic foundation of our constitutional law that the burden is on the gov to prove guilt, not on the defendant to prove innocence.

And telling the grand jury not to worry about insufficient evidence now because better evidence would come later at trial? That completely undermines the grand jury's role as a check against unfounded prosecutions. Their whole job is to decide if there's enough evidence right now to justify charging someone with a crime.

“Her time in the grand jury is extraordinary. She told the grand jury, basically, that Comey didn’t have a Fifth Amendment right at trial to refuse to testify. And therefore, he would be able to give his explanation as to the events and counter the government’s evidence, which the judge noted appropriately was burden shifting. And moreover, she told the grand jury in an extraordinary statement not to worry about the record with which they had been presented because the government had better evidence at trial. That’s like saying, ‘Please indict this person because we don’t have time to indict innocent people.’ It’s just way, way, way out of bounds.”​

 

Hold on... Are you seriously expecting me to believe someone from the Trump team doesn't actually know how to do their job? That's CRAZY! NO WAY!

It's almost like they are put into a job position based on factors other than merit. But I was told that was purely for the realm of DEI hires. There's no way Trump would wesponize the justice department...

I will never believe that even if he promised to do it

 

...and things just keep getting worse for Cosplay Lawyer Barbie

The Justice Department on Wednesday admitted that the operative indictment against former FBI Director James Comey was never presented to the full grand jury — a procedural error defense attorneys say should bar the prosecution.

The admission came under sharp questioning from U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, after several judges overseeing parts of the case had raised concerns about the government’s presentation and an apparent discrepancy in the grand jury record.

Instead of presenting a new indictment to the full panel after it rejected one of the counts, interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan gave the grand jury’s foreperson an updated version — not seen by the other grand jurors — to sign.
