🚨 JUST IN: James Comey will appear in court on his federal felony charges on JANUARY 5TH, 2026.

Get him convicted, ASAP.pic.twitter.com/cgWdE0eu1u

Did Taylor Swift show up to give him moral support?

Comey's two-day trial date was just set of January 5th in Alexandria Virginia. It is an ironic choice since that is the anniversary of the critical controversial meeting of Comey with President Obama and others on laying the foundation for the Russian conspiracy investigation.

...Now on the ten-year anniversary of that infamous meeting, Comey is scheduled to appear in court to answer for two federal charges related to alleged false statements connected to leaks from the FBI.

Comey is reportedly planning three threshold challenges to block his prosecution: vindicative prosecution, selective prosecution, and an unlawful appointment. I wanted to briefly address these claims, including the one that has the most credibility.https://t.co/vQZRtPggyL

OLC deputy Alito: "Thus, it would appear that Congress [pursuant to 28 USC 546] intended to confer on the Attorney General only the power to make one interim appointment; a subsequent interim appointment would have to be made by the district court."
(My point isn't that Alito…

Ha! I had forgotten about that. It was definitely weird! I didn't realize it was the same person!

But the legal analysis remains interesting.
Trump just had his Nevada acting US attorney have indictments dismissed on related, but distinguishable, grounds.


Will Comey seek to have the indictment dismissedon that basis? Or will he stick with "let's go to trial"?

From the Turley article above, looks like this might have legs:

Quote:

---

In Siebert's case, his term expired 120 days after his Jan. 21 appointment by Acting Attorney General James McHenry, on or about May 21. After that, Whelan said, Eastern District of Virginia judges appointed him to continue to serve.

Comey has the advantage of being able to cite a memorandum by none other than Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito from when he served in the Office of Legal Counsel in 1986. Alito concluded that "after the expiration of the 120-day period further interim appointments are to be made by the court rather than by the Attorney General." He added, "it would appear that Congress intended to confer on the Attorney General only the power to make one interim appointment; a subsequent interim appointment would have to be made by the district court."

The Trump Administration can argue that Trump fired Siebert, thereby vacating the office for a second time. Under this argument, the process restarts with the vacancy. Comey will argue that this could allow a president to circumvent the intent of Congress by firing acting U.S. Attorneys to daisy chain vacancies allowing endless new 120-day periods to run.

**** James Comey. An open seditionist.

The WSJ is reporting that former FBI director Chris Wray is under investigation. “Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.”

LFG.

So, is a grand jury issuing these subpoenas?

I suspected there might be a superceding indictment for Comey. This move would just make that happen faster.

More good news!

Lol... Is that really how this works? He gave sensitive information out many times before. But this time... he is A-OK!

The latest filings in the Comey case reveal a battle over whether he should be allowed to keep sensitive discovery materials. Lindsey Halligan argues he should only be allowed to review them under supervision. Comey, hilariously, wants to keep them in his own possession,… pic.twitter.com/uWPLVQ0Q1f

Judge says it's fine, but primarily because DOJ's request is overbroad. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26186186-comeyord101325pdf/

No real surprise there.

Gonna be hard to convict him in that district, but hopefully he goes broke trying to defend himself…

I think at some point Comey flips. They are all guilty as sin, first one to flip gets the best deal, particularly since Comey is at the center of most all of it.

With folks like Pritzker championing for removal of immunity for federal law enforcement officer, even more reason for Trump DOJ to ruin these guys before 2028 gets here.

Comey should be housed at Gitmo whilst awaiting trial. For his own safety of course. Give him a pink jumpsuit, a tutu, makeup and Taylor swift tapes and he'll be at his on Ritz @ Gitz.

Comey aint flipping, he believes his actions were righteous, besides the system cherishes thugs like him and circles the wagons.

Which system? Because Trump has shown you he is not playing around. Comey is getting convicted and looking at prison likely for the remainder of his life. It only takes one wheel coming off one wagon for the circle to fall apart.

I get not having faith based on things like Mueller, Durham, lack of perp walks 9 months on, but these guys committed most serious crimes at the highest levels. And they used their power and conspiracy to cover the tracks as best they could.

Their last hope when lawfare failed was to assassinate Trump.

And you should hope I am right. Because if Comey escapes we are most likely looking at much more violence. Or an apathetic right who lets the left getting back to walking all over them.

It is more likely Comey's case is dismissed than it is he is convicted. Note: this is not a comment on the evidence or facts against him; but on the venue and judge.

How much time do you think he is realistically looking at? Because unless he has some disease or gets shived in the shower, he is not going to spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted. 3 or so years would be the most likely.

Sad commentary about the state of our justice system

The Facts:

If convicted, will be pardoned by the next Dem president.

Dems are going to prosecute all the ice agents.

I am confident much more is to come. I may ultimately be wrong, but I remain hopeful, prayerful for justice.

If Congress had sense and a pair of balls, they would establish a new federal court to handle prosecution of those who abuse their office and commit crimes at the highest levels of government.

Those who think that's a bad precedent should probably look at Pritzkers comments recently. If Dems ever get power again, they will round up anyone associated with Trump.

They tried to assassinate Trump after spending previous years impeaching him, subverting him, harassing him and prosecuting him… and anyone associated with him including people like his personal assistants.

But Comey's arrogance is more likely to result in his utter downfall and not him being able to escape with just a slap. He if gets cornered, he cannot escape acting as the rat he is.

Unfortunately I'm with Gipper. If this was in Texas , Oklahoma or Florida, he would be in a" pound me in the ass prison " without a doubt.

He won't get convicted. Politicians and judges have taught the "ordinary citizens" that sit on juries that it's ok to lie, ignore facts, and be dishonest and not fear consequences. If there are any left leaners on that jury, he will walk. Just my humble opinion.

I agree and I am confident Gipper agrees as well. It's no longer justice when true criminals walk free and the patriots are jailed.

The statutory max is 5 years on each count.

You are probably true about the pardon.

Prosecuting the ICE agents would be sheer suicide. Maybe selective prosecution of any extremely violent behavior, but blanket prosecution of ICE would go over really, really well in strongholds like SF, Chicago and NYC, and would go over like a nuclear bomb in the rest of the country. Very, very stupid thing to do.

Well for one Trump is not the whole system. There's a judge and a jury and both of them have repeatedly shown to be lacking….lacking in both integrity and moral courage.

My main disagreement with you was on comey flipping and now I disagree with you that justice will prevail here.

That said if I am wrong, I will gladly share a toast of double eagle rare with you as I savor some crow!
