The “attorney” who brought the charges was disbarred, disbanded, and left the DOJ; the members of grand juries empaneled were investigated for conspiring to sell tickets because they thought they were watching a stand-up routine when presented with the “evidence” by the government."Former U.S. Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. told The National News Desk he thinks that both cases will be brought to the Supreme Court.
So this case is headed to the Supreme Court for both James and Comey," Fishwick said.
"The DOJ will appeal to what's called the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, and they'll do that probably right away. And remember, whoever loses at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals is likely to appeal to the Supreme Court. This is a case that they'll want to hear," Fishwick added.
Comey was indicted on charges of allegedly lying in testimony to Congress five years ago. Because what he is being indicted on occurred five years ago, there is a chance a statute of limitations could impact a potential re-indictment. However, a Supreme Court decision would protect the Justice Department from that, Fishwick said.
There's a catch-all statute that will give DOJ 60 more days after the Supreme Court decision to re-indict Comey, and therefore, it wouldn't be in violation of the statute of limitations. This saving statute will protect them in this situation. So the case would not be time-barred against Comey at all," Fishwick said.
In the James case, which alleges mortgage fraud, Fishwick expects the DOJ to re-indict James within 60 days of a Supreme Court decision."
