Well isn't that convenient.

He said that Comey’s right to due process outweighs the typical secrecy afforded to grand jury proceedings, directing prosecutors to hand over the materials by the end of Monday.

“The Court recognizes that the relief sought by the defense is rarely granted,” Fitzpatrick said. “However, the record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding.”

Comey faces false statements and obstruction charges stemming from 2020 testimony he gave to Congress about leaks at the FBI. He has pleaded not guilty, and a trial is set for Jan. 5.

quote:

One of the remarks, the judge said, implied that Comey does not have a Fifth Amendment right to decline to testify at trial, which may have led grand jurors to believe that it is Comey’s burden, not the government’s, to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.


quote:

But Fitzpatrick said the record seems to indicate that the grand jury did not review the actual indictment that was ultimately returned, throwing the case into “uncharted legal territory.”

Apparently if this were to be true, Comey is not even a ham sandwich.

Convenient indeed…

Wow, and if this happens, I’m guessing that said Judge will review the evidence closely, and find this evidence insufficient for a trial to be brought against Mr Comey and will dismiss the case with prejudice…

Patel's statement on this case was possible stupidity. This magistrate was going to do this but let's not feed him.

The judge has already stated that the prosecution decided on indictment before presenting the case to the grand jury

" an indictment looking for a crime" may have been the actual wording.


The judge, thankfully, appears intent on doing the right thing ...

More like expected then convenient, the judge cites "a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps" which is what one would expect from the unqualified lackeys that Trump appoints to do his corrupt biding. This case will get thrown out before the end of the week.

I have wasted enough space and incurred enough hate already in explaining legally that there's little chance of this flimsy case making it to trial...and ZERO chance of there being a conviction.

Knock yourselves out in believing the legal grifters (superseding indictment!), but you can save lots of time and just accept that Comey will skate on THESE charges.

I want Comey fried just as much as anybody. MAYBE they will be able to bring conspiracy charges against him in a different proceeding. We'll see, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
