re: The DOJ Not Bringing Their Best for the Comey Trial

We will see. I think it could still be thrown out.
Still just a stupid-arse move.

I think the fact that the Court asked the parties to brief on the application of that DC case to the facts at hand is an indication that the Court will find "no prejudice" to Comey, but will sanction Halligan.

I think it will get dismissed on other grounds. Even if it makes it to trial, one thing is for sure: Comey won't be convicted of these counts.

In just 24 hours, the Justice Department has done a complete reversal on its position about whether the full grand jury in the James Comey criminal case reviewed the indictment before it was handed up to a federal judge in September.

Lindsey Halligan, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, presented the case by herself to the grand jury on Sept. 25. She testified Wednesday that when jurors voted to indict Comey on two of the three counts submitted in the original indictment, the full grand jury hadn’t reviewed a final revised document showing the two counts the former FBI director was charged with. Instead, its viewing was limited to the jury foreperson and an additional grand juror.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tyler Lemons, who is leading the prosecution of Comey, also said the full grand jury hadn’t reviewed the final indictment.
But in a court filing Thursday titled “Government's Notice Correcting the Record," federal prosecutors said the full grand jury did review the final indictment. In doing so, the Justice Department disputed the argument by Comey’s defense team that the indictment was invalid because of the missteps acknowledged in court Wednesday.

“The official transcript of the September 25, 2025, proceedings before Magistrate Judge Vaala conclusively refutes that claim,” prosecutors said in Thursday's filing. Judge Lindsey Vaala presided over the filing of Comey's indictment.

The defense team argued at Wednesday’s hearing that the confusion over the grand jury issue required the judge to throw out the case.

Maybe they can get a lawyer from Southern.

Trump named as the lead prosecutor an attorney who he must trust rather deeply (former personal atty) to supervise the undertaking, and keep it honest and diligent. And the other two US attys mentioned, who were brought in from another district? Those are probably going to be your “skill players” doing most of the actual prosecutorial strategizing and in-court work.

There is a lot of BS behind this prosecution but it's not from BondinDOJ. Everyone knows it's a steep uphill battle in DC area courts to win a case against the deep staters. The experienced DOJ prosecutors either are compromised by the seep state apparatus or smart enough to turn down a perjury case that is stacked against them.

Halligan came in at last minute because time was running out to charge Comey. She has nothing to lose because the deep staters would never do her any career favors anyway. I expect the judges to pull some crap that this never gets to trial because if it does get to trial, the evidence speaks for itself. Comey is a scumbag and he needs to call in the chips for all the other scum he protected in his position.

The lead prosecutor on the case, Lindsey Halligan, has never participated in a criminal trial. So, if serious, the DOJ would have brought in seasoned prosecutors to assist.

They had to find a US Attorney who would pursue the indictment. That's why she is there.
