Comey Indicted: Obstruction of Justice, Perjury

Looks to me like the judge will dismiss charges against Comey and James as improperly initiated. For Comey, I think that takes the alleged perjury outside the statute of limitations and he is out of the woods.

Good try by the most corrupt and inept administration in the history of the world though.  I feel like a solid C+ for effort.

Reports this morning say that rookie Hannigan told the grand jury "there is more evidence to come."

Holy crap, that's a rookie mistake. It turns the grand jury process into "go ahead, indict, by the time of the trial we'll have plenty of evidence to prove the charges."

What a farce.

The charges will be dismissed. I believe the government would appeal, but if that's the record here, they've got a huge problem.

Summary of the judge's decision:

 

Fitzpatrick also said Halligan, who had never prosecuted a case prior to Comey’s, appeared to make two “fundamental misstatements of law” to the grand jury that could jeopardize the indictment altogether.

He said Halligan, facing tough questions from grand jurors, appeared to suggest Comey might have to testify at trial to explain his innocence, an improper characterization of the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Fitzpatrick also said Halligan appeared to improperly suggest grand jurors could assume the government had more evidence against Comey than what it presented to them.

“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,” he wrote.
