Things are not going very well for Trump’s Revenge Tour: James Comey edition. The judge has been critical of all the probably, definitely, maybe illegal and incorrect things that the DOJ’s newest appointed lawyer, Lindsay Halligan has been doing in deference to King Mango Tits.
Not only was the indictment of James Comey rushed (literally, almost to the day when the 5-year statute of limitations was set to run out), but they clearly indicted first, looked for evidence second.
On Wednesday November 5th, just 2 weeks ago, the judge ordered prosecutors to “produce to defense lawyers a trove of materials from the investigation, saying he was concerned the Justice Department’s position had been to “indict first” and investigate second.”
Judge Fitzpatrick ordered prosecutors to “produce by the end of the day on Thursday grand jury materials and other evidence that investigators seized during the investigation.” This order came after Comey’s attorneys made a strong case that they were at a disadvantage to provide a solid defense, as they were not given an opportunity to review information that the FBI collected years before. Comey’s lawyers had previously requested a transcript of grand jury proceedings.
