(Crankers) Pam Bondi and the DOJ are up the creek without a paddle and they better recover fast, because if James Comey and Letitia James walk free because of mistakes, then Bondi’s career is over.
A U.S. magistrate court concluded that there is evidence of misconduct in how a federal prosecutor affiliated with President Donald Trump won criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey.
Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ordered that grand jury materials be turned over to Comey’s defense team, calling the move an “extraordinary remedy” triggered by “unique circumstances” – aka the DOJ filed it wrong and screwed up big time.
Fitzpatrick found that Lindsey Halligan, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney leading the case, made significant legal mistakes when presenting evidence and instructing the grand jury, potentially undermining the integrity of the proceedings.
Halligan worked primarily in real estate law and represented Trump in civil matters. She had no prior experience as a prosecutor. In fact, she wasn’t even allowed to file this according to other sources. Pam Bondi should’ve known this.
Comey pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation. Letitia James is dealing with accusations of mortgage fraud. The DOJ is expected to refile the proper way.
Prosecutors quickly placed the ruling on pause, alleging Judge Fitzpatrick may have misinterpreted important facts. U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff agreed to examine the order and temporarily halted it from taking effect.
