      The Justice Department acknowledged Wednesday that the grand jury that indicted former FBI Director James Comey was never shown the final version of the charges. Prosecutors revealed the lapse under questioning by the judge overseeing the case. Comey’s attorneys argued the omission warrants dismissing the indictment. The judge did not immediately rule.

      Hopefully they can perjury and remove all of the prosecuting attorney’s licenses.

    4. IJWTGH66 on

      Whoa. What was signed by the foreperson? They probably attached the previous signature page to a new indictment. You go to jail for that.

      Why am I continuously stunned by the total cluster this administration is.

      This case is going to get shitcanned fast. Bondi’s fucking clown DOJ wanted so badly to effectuate Trump’s orders into actual charges that they sidelined the career prosecutors who told them, “no, there’s nothing here to work with” and then strung the grand jury along with an incomplete indictment.

    11. coatofforearm on

      The judge should call Pam Bondi along with the prosecutor and sanction them all with large fines

    12. HerbaciousTea on

      What. The. Fuck. If that’s true, then describing the DOJ’s actions as „misconduct“ to paraphrase the judge in this case, is a *dramatic* understatement. This proper fuck your life up criminal for everyone involved in the false indictment.

    14. chrispy_exe on

      In other words, the US Department of Justice is no longer a credible source of information.

      Any and all department proceedings under this administration need to be independently reviewed, and no material released by the DOJ under the Epstein scandal should be treated as factual.

      Share the news. Your government is 100% going to lie to prosecute who it wants. The proof already exists.

    15. TotallyDissedHomie on

      And tried to cover it up by withholding evidence. Disbarment should be the minimal consequence.

    16. lredit2 on

      What!!!! So she basically falsified the indictment returned in court. In normal times she would be disbarred and prosecuted for knowingly making a brazen and blatantly false representation to a court and for falsely charging an innocent person with a federal crime without probable cause!

    17. hous26 on

      Its moments like this that makes me realize if they mess with the Epstein Files they will get caught.

    18. ClaretClarinets on

      Oh, okay, so they falsified a grand jury indictment. Cool, nice, cool.

    19. sonofagunn on

      „Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon…“

    20. sonofagunn on

      I haven’t been following the case very closely. Did the DOJ ever lie about this very thing to the judge or defense previously?

    21. Stu420Pedaso on

      This will be interesting to see how it pans out to gage how F*%$@d our legal system has become.

    22. oneseason2000 on

      Good enough for Trump-level government work … „The Justice Department acknowledged Wednesday that the grand jury that indicted former FBI Director James Comey was **~~never~~** shown the ***concept of a*** final version of the charges.“

    23. smack54az on

      This level of incompetence is our only hope for getting through this administration.

    24. hockeyclown420 on

      Another case of unqualified individual with mar-a-lago face being given power and failing to do their job properly.

    26. J-the-Kidder on

      I would like to say this is unbelievable, but considering the DOJ attorney said „you can vote to indict now, we have better evidence we’ll show at trial“ nothing shady or illegal is off the table to consider as an option.

    27. Zinfan1 on

      Bondi and Halligan we know are spineless and willing to do whatever Trump demands but what about the lawyer who stood up in court and made those statements today? He should have resigned immediately after the hearing having befouled himself like that. They are all banking on MAGA forever to keep themselves employed at best and out of prison if it all comes crashing down.

    31. hokie47 on

      The whole point of Federal juries is to protect us from a King. This is outrageous. It breaks the fundamental reason to have them.

    32. Big-Olive763 on

      Drain the swamp huh? Looks like the swamp is full up. Hypocritical behavior

    33. Y0___0Y on

      Apparently the indictment was altered slightly, not that different from the original indictment, and likely would have been approved by the grand jury.

      But this lawyer Trump put on this has never prosecuted a case before. She didn’t know she was supposed to get the grand jury’s approval on the altered indictment. She just had the foreman sign off on it. And in doing so, has jeoperadized the entire case.

      This is why you don’t put your personal real estate attorney on the case to try to prosecute the former director of the FBI on false charges…

    34. whydoyouonlylie on

      What the hell did the Grand Jury agree to prosecute him for if they were never shown what the government wanted to prosecute him for? Are they actually going to claim there was just blanket approval to prosecute him for whatever the hell they wanted?

      And imagine going up as a witness about whether the **whole** Grand Jury was told what the indictment was and your answer to the question of whether just the foreman knew was ‚there was 1 other person there too‘. Like fuck me that’s egregiouspy dishonest.

    35. morbidlonging on

      I read parts of this to my attorney husband and he audibly gasped then asked to see the write up. He didn’t believe me! Sounds like a pretty big fuckup! 

    39. Raspberries-Are-Evil on

      She needs to be disbarred at a minimum over this.

      Prosecuted too.

    40. hackingdreams on

      So the DA just tampered with a Grand Jury to pass a COMPLETELY BOGUS indictment.

      Case dismissed, criminal charges for the DA, right? ***Right***?!

    41. TheCavis on

      > Prosecutors revealed the lapse under questioning by the judge overseeing the case. Comey’s attorneys argued the omission warrants dismissing the indictment. The judge did not immediately rule.

      The judge didn’t rule due the splitting headache caused by trying to understand how a signed grand jury indictment was never shown to the grand jury.

      > Comey’s attorney, Michael Dreeben, said this admission meant that there was no indictment against his client and that the statute of limitations meant the chance of securing a new one had collapsed.

      This is probably one of the better outcomes for the remaining lawyers at the DOJ. The case collapses due to one person who can be unceremoniously thrown under the bus. They don’t need to tie themselves in knots trying to sustain what is clearly an unsustainable prosecution that they didn’t want to do. The judge will be the target of the Truth Social ramblings for blocking the case rather than the DOJ for losing it when an acquittal came down.

    42. crimeo on

      If they didn’t see the version that was filed, then **how was the version that was filed signed**?

      This implies she forged their signatures on the version that was filed. That’s very very very different than just being an incompetent boob.

    44. Stillwater215 on

      So let me get this straight: the DoJ presented a set of charges to the grand jury, they deliberated those charges, and then when they made a decision to indict, the DoJ had them sign off on a different set of charges?

      If that’s actually how this played out, I don’t see how it’s not prosecutorial misconduct, at best.

    45. futanari_kaisa on

      This is what happens when you have sycophantic charlatans heading up your department of justice.

    46. flux_of_grey_kittens on

      This is what happens when you hire people that look like they could play whatever position they hold on tv but have no experience.

      Love to see it.

    49. Amish_Robotics_Lab on

      The reason she was so anxious to squeak the indictment in was that the statute of limitations expired the *next day* after Comey was indicted. If the indictment was defective this is all over.

      The incompetence of Team Trump is surpassed only by its impunity.
