I just looked up the indictment in Pacer. There were two counts.
As the foreperson of the grand jury of this court at a session held at ^ Alexandria, Virginia . I report that 12 or more grand jurors did not concur in finding an indictmenl^i^liis case. ^ Under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(c). this record is being tiled with the court clerk and will mn be made public unless the court orders otherwise. Count 1 was: On or about September 30, 2020, in the Eastern District of Virginia, the defendant, JAMES B. COMEY JR., did willfully and knowingly make a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the Government of the United States, by falsely stating to a U.S. Senator during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that he. JAMES B. COMEY JR., did not remember ''being taught of PERSON 1 's "approval of a plan concerning’' PERSON 2 and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Count 2 is the allegation he lied on September 30. This does make me wonder how many of the 23 (I assume) jurors actually voted to indict. During my own grand jury service I only remember 1 non-concurrence, by a single juror. |
Usually, you start with a crime and end with an indictment of the person. Here, the idea was to start with the person and look for an excuse to indict because you were told in no uncertain terms you had to in order to keep your job. |

Patrick Fitzgerald is going to be representing Comey. Former special counsel for the investigation of Scooter Libby (Valerie Plame) and prosecutor of Rod Blagojevich. So he has experience in investigating executive officials targeting people they don't like AND corrupt executive becoming Trump BFFs over how he was also targeted and persecuted. (And the connection to Obama's vacated Senate seat is the sprinkles on top). Plus Blagojevich was a Dem who went to prison, so there's something for everyone here.
I'm beginning to think Comey is right saying to bring it on. |

I'm so f-ing sick and tired of the "Dems weponized the DOJ first." Does anyone not remember that Merrick Garland sat with his thumb up his butt until the Jan 6 Committee did their thing? T was getting away with fomenting an insurrection. It was too little, too late. Obviously, now he has gotten away with an insurrection and more.
The documents case that Judge Cannon made go away, is another rewriting of history. The Archives politely sent letters to T to give back the docs, T ignored it. They then sent a subpoena to give back the docs, T ignored that too. Only after all other avenues were exhausted did the DOJ execute on their search warrant that a judge signed off on. When it was discovered that Biden and Pence had docs too, both said "come search my home for whatever I may have." T was hiding the docs and evading giving them back even though they did not belong to him. I think he should have been held accountable in Georgia too. The prosecutors f'd up in that one. T should have been held accountable for all of this activity. He is a criminal and probably would have been convicted in at least the docs case without the assist from Cannon. I'm not sure what I can say about the NY prosecution. T was wrong and sleazy and whatever, but that one might have been motivated in part by politics. |
The NY was legit. He was cooking books and breaking the law. Agree. Re: NY - he committed a crime there too. If he would like to stop being charged, he should stop committing crimes. He’s such a crybaby. Huge. |
Plus there was that business where his attorney (Blanche? Someone else?) was involved in pretending there were no documents remaining when that was not the case at all. Noyto mention evidence of him showing classified material to guests at Bedminster. |
| What makes me sick is the narrative that Biden DOJ/New York/Georgia only prosecuted Trump to stop him from becoming president again - that's putting the cart before the horse. By the time he declared his candidacy he was already under investigation in all four cases. Trump ran for president to keep himself out of prison. |
And to skim off the top. He’s making a ton of money shaking down everyone he can. |
Unless you are Epstein. |
| Comeu Hoax will end up with nothing. Russia hoax ended with 34 indictments, 8 convictions and 11 instances of obstruction of justice referred to Bill Barr’s DoJ. Barr declined to pursue any. |
Patrick Fitzgerald was also the longest serving US Attorney in the modern era, so he knows the federal courts and federal law inside out and is going to make mincemeat of the former beauty pageant contestant insurance lawyer who has zero prosecution experience (as well as zero ethics) under her belt. |
I am so looking forward to hearing from trump when this case is dismissed with prejudice! |
He will blame the judge, of course. |
This will be very entertaining. Amazing how man people are willing to look like fools for Trump. They should have a sign "Fools for Trump" stamped on their foreheads. |
| This is the point in the movie where the bar associations need to start moving to disbar the lawyers who are participating in this vendetta perversion of the legal system. People have got to start realizing that our legal system, imperfect as it is, is still the bedrock for our economy. The US economy has not been a "growing" economy for decades (unlike China and India). What keeps investment capital flowing to the US is the belief that our legal system is not subject to manipulation by the politicians. The Rule of Law is the goose that lays the Golden Egg and once Trump and his lackies get done killing the goose, we will all be cooked. |
