Judge orders DOJ to give Comey lawyers grand jury material — calls out ‘disturbing pattern’ of ‘missteps’

The New York Post ^ | By Samuel Chamberlain and Priscilla DeGregory Posted on by Mariner A federal judge ordered prosecutors Monday to turn over secret grand jury records in the case against former FBI Director James Comey to his legal team Monday, calling out “a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that . potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding.” And one legal expert said the bombshell decision could spell disaster for the prosecution against Comey and potentially be a huge embarrassment for the whole Department of Justice. In a 24-page ruling, US Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick accused the feds of flouting attorney-client privilege to secure an indictment of President Trump’s longtime nemesis, ripped interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan for “fundamental misstatements of the law” to the panel, and flagged unexplained irregularities in the grand jury transcript. Comey is likely to walk on his traitorous deeds. Fixed. Please dump your defeatist predispositions. 2 posted on by Carry_Okie (The tree of liberty needs a rope.)

In fact, I will go as far as this: I surmise that the gameplan here is to delay, delay, delay until the next Presidential election in the hopes of getting a wholly new DOJ that will refuse to pursue this case. 4 posted on by alancarp (George Orwell was an optimist.)
