Over the weekend, Judge Nachmanoff made it clear that a large amount of discovery material is to be delivered to James Comey today. The prosecution team from North Carolina seem to be engaging in a series of stall tactics to delay this.
The eastern district of Virginia is known informally as the “rocket docket” because of its fast resolution times for cases.
This is just evidence that this case is 100% retribution. They scrapped together a case before the 5 year, Sept 2025, statute of limitations kicked in. But they don’t actually have a case ready to prosecute. They’re stalling to come up with something, anything, coherent to prosecute.
But they have the concept of a case. They’ll tell ya.
They just waste time and money in the courts to serve as red meat for the base. See Trump’s 0-61 record litigating “the big steal.” No evidence at all, and justly thrown out of court during discovery every single time they tried it because of it.
Oh, man…they don’t even realize that all this does is open them ALL up to the same kind of prosecution, the instant there is an opportunity. We all know that both Kash Parel and Pam Bondi have lied during their committee testimonies. Now, it’s a matter of precedent that they face criminal prosecutions for it.
I fully believe that this is an attempt to proactively delegitimize any attempts to prosecute former Trump officials for their actual crimes. You can just hear the dipshit chorus of “You protested when we prosecuted Comey and James, and now you’re trying to do the exact same thing to us!”
Except they’re not really protesting against this, though. If they want to make asses of themselves in court, who cares? Everyone knows the evidence will clear both of them…so, let it go to trial.
Then, once there’s someone in charge that has some actual integrity…just return the favor. The only difference will be the fact that pretty much everyone in the current administration has committed actual crimes in Trump’s name. These fucks are all setting themselves up for prison, just by following Trump’s orders.
UPDATE: As the deadline expired today, the prosecution dropped this motion which discloses that they searched an attorney’s phone with a warrant.
Because the stuff on this phone is a landmine of attorney-client privilege, they contend, there must be a complicated and lengthy clean room-style process to sort the privileged stuff from non-privileged.
Comey disagrees and wants to challenge the search warrant first.
I strongly suspect they didn’t actually turn over much of anything today, but we shall see.
At what point does the DOJ qualify as a vexatious litigant for all the bad faith filings?
This is just about Taco’s stupid revenge fantasies because he’s a gigantic baby. I could see him going after every person who ever said he has small hands.
For his retarded base, it’s also about trying to own anyone not on their team. Even if Comey wins, he still had to deal with this threat. His idiot cult fanbase doesn’t want any dissent at all. What they REALLY want is a permission structure that lets them do whatever they want to any liberal they come across in their lives - if they have a mouthy woman or an uppity POC in their lives? They can say whatever they want to them, possibly carry out violence on them. Same with any “blue hair” people that bother them. People with too many face piercings. A liberal that makes them look stupid - they want to be able to deck them with no recourse. They don’t want anyone calling them fascists, either. And they want television and media to reflect only their opinions back at them, and only “good values”, meaning, right wing cishet white xtian males centered in all things…
If you don’t believe me, pay attention to some of the things they have said after his first “win” and then this one - many seem genuinely puzzled that Democrats and liberals are allowed any agency at all, because after all “trump won”. Everyone was supposed to just shut up and accept whatever Taco and the Confederates say, because that’s how democracy works, right? We elected a king? Why isn’t Hollywood having their executives frog-marched out, and all the “woke” movies and TV deleted and off streaming/off the air? Why do I still see CNN on my cable TV? Why are these liberals even still talking?
Things like this build towards that sick and twisted desire of theirs.
It’s not about a conviction or actual prosecution. It’s about tiny dick wanting others to be more “prosecuted” than him.
