This isn't the way the institution is supposed to function, and it isn't the public role of the FBI director to be an influencer, much less an influencer with merch.
Let's start with Brennan because there's real news in it, which is that Brennan and his
deranged effort to prosecute him for what exactly?
So they filed a lawsuit that is basically a demand for document preservation on the theory that any indictment that would proceed against Brennan would be a vindictive prosecution.
And the evidence of that has to exist and will be destroyed or may be destroyed absent some requirement that the material be preserved.
And so I think this serves two functions.
One is...
Maybe a bit of a Hail Mary that you could get a judicial order to preserve all kinds of material pre indictment.
But the second is just a warning, a shot across the bow of the prosecutors who were thinking about this case that, you know, we're going to take your pants down if you bring it.
And this is what we can do without seeing any other records.
I think there's also an effort to, you know, get this thing in place.
in the District of Columbia where there's a reasonable bench and the effort to engineer on the part of the Justice Department to engineer grand jury investigations of this stuff in other jurisdictions anywhere but Washington, anywhere but Northern Virginia where there's
you know a good bench and a sane jury pool you know this is an effort to force the dc bench to take a look at this stuff and comey first of all just for the record uh i am not in touch with jim comey these days um for reasons he's at a remote location somewhere an undisclosed location i
It actually has to do with the very, very, very marginal chance that I could be called as a witness in one of these cases.
And so just as a precaution, I have been making a point of not being in touch with Jim.
The state of the cases are the following.
The first one is on appeal.
This was the one for allegedly lying to Congress that was brought by Lindsay Halligan, who was ruled to be illegally appointed.
And both the case against Comey and the case against Letitia James were thrown out on that basis.
That is on appeal by the government to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
