This is going to piss off the judge big time. The government motion has a bunch of misrepresentations and is a pretty transparent effort to slow down a case the prosecutors are completely unprepared to try.

I wonder if the judge watched 60 minutes and the story about how often Trump administration attorneys are submitting outright lies and misrepresentations to the court? It is appalling the number of times that Trump & Co. have now been caught outright lying to the courts. I hope the judges begin to notify state bars of these instances so appropriate action can be taken.

For those who aren't lawyers, there is only one rule hammered into you in law school. Every day for 3 years.

It is not "Rule of Law". It is not anything else.

It is "DO NOT LIE TO A COURT! THEY WILL SERIOUSLY KICK IN THE NUTS FOR THAT!"

Also, no commingling.

But yes, DO NOT LIE TO THE COURT. Just don't.

MAGAs don't mind liars

Indeed, their cult leader is a big fat liar. Everyone in NY was aware of this.

The responses from Comey begin already.

Direct link to Comey's response today to the governments ridiculousness.

This will be like the NHL playing hockey using DoJ attorneys as the puck.

Comey is deliberately turning the case against him into a circus. Out of 1.3 million lawyers in the United States, he somehow ended up with the only two who are personally and deeply entangled in the conduct at issue, Michael Dreeben and Patrick Fitzgerald.

Dreeben has a huge conflict because he was on the Mueller special counsel team, which only existed because of the leaks at the center of this case. But Fitzgerald may be even worse. Some of the leaks ran through him. That makes him a witness, an active participant, and possibly even an unindicted co-conspirator.

By hiring lawyers who share exposure, Comey guarantees that everyone stays on script. None of them can break ranks without risking their own liability. It also complicates discovery because once defense lawyers are implicated in the scheme, it creates a huge labyrinth of privilege and related legal entanglements. That conveniently shields the full network from scrutiny while the process gets bogged down in procedural detours.

A serious judge would disqualify them immediately. But this is a partisan Biden judge, so he will likely let it continue and Comey will once again get away with gaming the system.

I think any attorneys monitoring these cases should be referring them to the bar association and disciplinary authorities. I'm no attorney but doesnt ABA Rule of Conduct 8.3 require attorneys to report that kind of misconduct?

One little problem with that: Comey wasn’t indicted for leaking information or mishandling classified material. He was indicted for lying to Congress. Did these guys lie to Congress? Instruct him to lie to Congress? I don’t understand.

In America, we have the right to counsel of our choice. The government has not demonstrated any conflict with chosen counsel. Chosen counsel has no “exposure”. The claim that this is Comey’s move to somehow ensure that “everyone stays on script” would require that Comey had some sort of leverage over his counsel, which is laughably false given that Fitzgerald is enthusiastic about his role, saying it’s the “honor of a lifetime” to represent Comey. And I dare you to go into court and accuse the judge of partisanship. Are you a person or a parrot?

The case against Comey is a circus alright, but not because of his lawyers.

What a sad attempt to troll. Iran should try to get their money back from you.

As pointed out in Comey's response, this is a lie. The IG report they cite in fact found the opposite.

Well, here comes the first real slap shot from Fitzgerald. The motion to quash and dismiss the indictment due to Halligan's improper appointment. For me, the kicker is how they use US v. TRUMP to show Halligan is unqualified,

"Similarly, in United States v. Trump, 740 F. Supp. 3d 1245 (S.D. Fla. 2024), the court
applied these principles when dismissing an indictment on Appointments Clause grounds because
of a defect in the appointment of the prosecutor who secured the charges. The court concluded
that “[b]ecause Special Counsel Smith’s exercise of prosecutorial power has not been authorized
by law,” there was “no way forward aside from dismissal of the Superseding Indictment.” Id. at
1302. Indeed, the government there did not even “propose an alternative course.” Id. The court
reasoned that “[i]nvalidation follows directly from the government actor’s lack of authority to take
the challenged action in the first place.”

You really should read the underlying documents. The IG's reported that NO classified information was leaked to anyone. And since the government uses that report as their evidence, they have admitted it is true.

Do you really think a group of the country's most experienced and respected members of the national security and classification bar would do stunningly stupid things as you allege? Boy, you really are one of the dumbest people walking around.

They know they are lying. This is just a set-up to blame the judge instead of their own stupidity and corruption when he throws this case out.

And it got worse for Halligan and the DoJ.

Poor Lyndsey kicked in the face already.

"To the extent the government expresses concern about adhering to the schedule set by the Court at arraignment, the
Court notes that the government has had the materials at issue in its possession for several years and apparently failed
to seek any guidance with respect to a filter protocol at any time before October 13, 2025. Moreover, the government
was fully aware of Mr. Fitzgerald’s participation in this case as early as September 25, 2025 (ECF 4), and the report
that forms the basis of the claim that “[D]efendant used lead defense counsel to improperly disclose classified
information” has been public knowledge since its 2019 publication. And yet, the government failed to raise any
concern with lead counsel’s representation until the filing of the government’s motion to expedite on October 19,
2025.""
