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]

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. [/quote]

Have they even said what it is that they allege Comey lied about, and is there anything in the indictment that could prove he knowingly lied?[/quote]

They claim he lied about not authorizing a guy named Daniel Richman to leak information to the press about the Clinton investigation.  There are many problems with this, including that Richman has testified Comey never authorized him to do that, and the question Ted Cruz asked Comey wasn’t about Richman.[/quote]

Yes, there's no way this indictment will go anywhere.
