Case Against Former FBI Director James Comey Dismissed

[Fort Fun Indiana]

"Justice Dept. Will Appeal Dismissal of Comey and James Indictments


The Trump administration had vowed to fight a judge’s decision to dismiss unrelated criminal charges against James Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Letitia James, the attorney general of New York.



The Justice Department said on Friday that it would appeal the dismissals of its criminal cases against James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Attorney General Letitia James of New York, two frequent targets of President Trump.

The move could provide the department with a path to revive charges against Mr. Comey and Ms. James after the courts threw up a number of roadblocks to the administration’s bid to bring new indictments against them. It came weeks after Attorney General Pam Bondi pledged to do so.

Any appeal would be handled by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which sits in Richmond, Va. Because the cases raise questions about the boundaries between presidential power and congressional authority, they could ultimately go to the Supreme Court."

Appeal... on what grounds? They forgot to say.

The letter of the law is crystal clear.

 

[0311]

Washington — A federal judge on Monday ordered the criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey to be dismissed on the grounds that Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney who secured the indictment, was unlawfully appointed to the role.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie is a significant victory for Comey, who has argued his prosecution is retaliatory and motivated by President Trump's efforts to punish his political foes. The Justice Department is likely to appeal Currie's ruling and ask for it to be halted.

But Comey's lawyers are seeking to have the indictment tossed out on numerous other legal grounds, including that his prosecution is vindictive and selective. A decision on that argument remains pending.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

But she has such a nice Mar A Lago kind of face.

What case would that be, there was never....ever a case against him. All he ever did was investigate 47. The lying to Congress is a phony charge would never have held up in court.
