Does this ruling automatically make the indictment defective or would that need more hearings etc.?

Turns out Durham's former righthand man goes way back with James Comey and his lead defense attorney. Jack Eckenrode, a DOJ contractor, once worked for Comey's lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald and praised Comey after Trump fired him. Eckenrode's now lead investigator on Comey case.


Interesting that you were fine with Aileen Cannon!

Speaking of Aileen Cannon… she’s cited in the decision. 🙂

In fairness, the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, used all those resources to convict Trump of 34 felonies for writing a check to a porn star. I'm pretty sure the Manhattan District Attorney's Office had far more pressing cases. Instead, they used all those resources for a very minor conviction and ended up delivering the presidency to Trump as a consequence.

The political rot in our judicial system is all encompassing.


You also ignored the part of actually securing a conviction... not a vindictive prosecution based on "trumped" up claims

But you actually have no idea.

And.
That’s a false equivalence. The business of the city of New York, while consequential, is nothing compared to the business of the United States.

Um, it's Waste, Fraud, and Abuse. In fact, they hit the trifecta.

Separately I have to point out the Schiff whistleblower’s amazing education. I guess Shasta College was too challenging to finish: Chris Bish earned a high school diploma from Enterprise High School and attended Shasta College.


They are all awful, obviously, but f right off with your elitist nonsense. (And reflect on Larry summers in the Epstein files as well as Trump and all of his idiot spawn being Penn graduates.)


Agreed! I've heard of all of these schools. Plenty of incompetent idiots have graduated from Ivy leagues schools based on what I see in DC and NY everyday.


Truly, Harvard Law seems to have done to the most damage overall. And Yale a close second.


Nobody is saying that elite schools give any character advantage, of course they don’t.

But generally speaking the elite schools enroll and graduate people of higher intelligence and ability.

Not always, as in the case of the Trumps and Penn - certainly many of those legacy admissions are not really qualified to be there.

And certainty you can get the occasional very sharp graduate of a mediocre law program because they couldn’t afford anyplace else, or they had test anxiety on the LSAT but are really very bright otherwise.

But generally speaking the sharpest tools go to the best schools.


I’m not disputing their is an lsat difference but the person I was responding to was implying that the lower tier schools were the root cause of this and that’s offensive and elitist, as is your implication that it’s somehow rare to have a really bright person coming from a lower ranked school.

Let’s also not pretend that it’s unusual for people from an elite institution to be a) dumb@sses their because of their connections and wealth and/or b) morally bankrupt lickspittles. Many of us know and work with many people like this (or read the newspaper.)

She has a BA from Regis University and a law degree from U Miami. Neither of which fall into the category of highly respected institutions. She is a former Miss Colorado and was hired by Trump after she met him at his golf club. None of this is screaming "highly respected lawyer" to me, and while I abhor this waste of taxpayer dollars, it is entertaining to watch her and her team be exposed for the incompetent professionals that they are.

Any chance she can be disbarred for this level of incompetence?

This is both funny and tragic.
