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.[/quote]

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?[/quote]
