B-Man Posted Friday at 04:38 PM Posted Friday at 04:38 PM Is the Comey Prosecution on Thin Ice? Not As Thin As Some Might Have You Think By Susie Moore To borrow a phrase from a fellow Missourian, reports of the Comey prosecution's death have been greatly exaggerated. Former FBI Director James Comey, of course, was indicted in late September on two counts in relation to statements he made during a congressional hearing in September 2020: False statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the United States Government [18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)] Obstruction of a Congressional proceeding [18 U.S.C. § 1505] There was a bit of buzz on Wednesday afternoon following a hearing in the case on a motion by Comey's defense team to dismiss the charges against him on the basis of vindictive prosecution. Eastern District of Virginia Judge Michael Nachmanoff reportedly grilled Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers over a purported discrepancy between the indictment form presented to the grand jury and the final version filed in the case. This, in turn, produced rather ominous-sounding headlines like: Trump’s DOJ Admits Comey Grand Jury Never Saw Final Indictment Comey case hanging by a thread as judge squeezes DOJ over Halligan’s handling And that was on the heels of a Monday ruling by Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ordering the DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to the defense — materials which normally would not be shared with the defense. All of which led to the inference that the Comey indictment wasn't long for this world. I read the reporting yesterday, and even began to write something up on the matter, but I hesitated because the only information I had to go on was reports of what was said in the hearing, and the court documents available at that point didn't shed much light on the situation. As it turns out, I'm glad I held off. Subsequent to the hearing, the DOJ filed its objections to Fitzpatrick's order regarding the disclosure of the grand jury materials, and then, earlier today, filed a notice correcting the record, both of which help establish that the grand jury did, in fact, return a true bill on two counts, those being the two listed above. Now, does that mean Judge Nachmanoff will see it that way? No. Nor does it guarantee the indictment will survive some of the other challenges raised against it. But for all the breathless proclamations that the grand jury never actually saw the indictment, and ZOMG! — folks should simmer down. They did. It just had an additional count in it that was subsequently removed because they didn't agree on that one. Nothing new or different was added. Something no longer pertinent was removed. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/11/20/is-the-comey-prosection-on-thin-ice-not-as-thin-as-some-might-have-you-think-n2196418 The confusion arose from the fact that there were initially three counts, the first of which the grand jury did not agree on. It was the second and third counts that they returned an indictment on. So the indictment was amended to remove the (original) first count and include only the second and third counts (which became the first and second), and that was signed off on by the grand jury foreperson, with one other grand juror present. (The rest had apparently left for the day.) 2

But the process will be fun. The indictment with teeth that MUST come for all the Russia hoaxers is the conspiracy against rights indictment in Florida. As I was saying. An activist commie judge got to this first before a deep blue jury pool was even able to. The Florida grand jury is where it will be.

BillsFanNC Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago ⬆️ 😂 🎯 There is overwhelming evidence former FBI Director James Comey lied to Congress and obstructed a Senate investigation into Crossfire Hurricane—the biggest scandal in American history. There is overwhelming evidence New York Attorney General Tish James lied on her mortgage application and committed bank fraud. The prior U.S. attorney refused to prosecute these Democrat operatives. So the Attorney General picked a new one who is unafraid to follow the law. What is the Democrats’ response? Unsurprisingly, an Obama judge hand-selected a Clinton judge. Then the Clinton judge tossed both indictments. And the first sentence in both nearly identical orders, in which the Clinton judge personally and gratuitously attacks Lindsey Halligan, makes it crystal clear this judge is a Democrat partisan. Democrat politicians, including in robes, shamefully protect their own. Unfortunately, we have two systems of justice. One Democrats weaponize against enemies. And one Democrats weaponize to protect allies. The Justice Department must appeal. And it must move aggressively to bring charges against the Lawfare Democrats in Fort Pierce, Florida. 1

BillsFanNC Posted 48 minutes ago Author Posted 48 minutes ago ⬆️ 4th& SCHLONG!!! 😂 Will be reversed. Again, not that it will matter in terms of Comey being ultimately found guilty in Virginia. But Florida will. Should have never raided Mar-a-lago!
