Not really, because this just represents the establishment DOJ resistance and how the judiciary are working hand in glove now.
to undermine and sabotage the president's agenda, policy, foreign policy, domestic policy agenda, and in this case, criminal indictment against James Comey and Letitia James.
As you know, both teams representing Letitia James and James Comey are seeking to disqualify Lindsay Halligan, saying that her temporary appointment violates the law.
So that's kind of in process right now.
But what happened today is truly outrageous and represents just another huge leap, the judiciary.
And this is Judge Michael Fitzpatrick.
He is a magistrate judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, now claiming that there was a mishandling, misrepresentation of facts, possibly misconduct by Ms.
Halligan.
in presenting this case to a grand jury and getting that two-count indictment against Comey in September.
And what he ordered today, Steve, now imagine this in your own case or any case.
He is forcing the DOJ to produce all grand jury, secret grand jury materials, the transcripts and the recordings, to the defense, to Jim Comey and his team of high-powered,
very experienced DOJ prosecutors, government attorneys in that case.
So they can comb through everything and find any little kernel of inconsistency that they can then go back to the court and say, well, there was misconduct in this grand jury proceedings, therefore this indictment should be dismissed.
This hardly ever happens.
Never happens.
I mean, you could have grand jury proceedings under seal forever.
And here is this Michael Fitzpatrick, who, by the way, once worked for years in the U.S.
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.
He worked side by side with Eric Siebert, the acting U.S.
attorney, who was removed for failing to bring this indictment against Jim Comey.
