Judge Stays "Insane" Magistrate's Defense of James Comey

Yesterday I reported that a lowly magistrate -- a helper judge that hears motions on behalf of the judge -- made a "rare" grant of a motion to turn over all grand jury evidence to James Comey's team of angry Democrat lawyers. He claimed that despite such orders almost never being granted -- he admitted it was "rare" -- he felt that James Comey's rights "outweighed" the standard guarantee of grand jury secrecy.

This lowly Democrat magistrate searched desperately for some kind of infraction on the part of the prosecutor that he could claim was serious enough to justify this "rare" step. This partisan magistrate claimed there were "misstatements of law" in the grand jury case, which is common, which is why it is "rare" to invade grand jury secrecy, even on behalf of a politically-connected, Deep State protected accused.

But ah, how that changes when James "No Intent/8647" Comey is in the dock.

Generally not a ground to invalidate an indictment.

Misstatements of law by prosecutors in front of the the GJ is a subject that has a LOOOOONG history of litigation.

Not a new topic and defendants rarely win on it.

Bear in mind, grand juries are entirely one-sided, prosecutor-controlled affairs, with no opposing counsel or judge to bring up misstatements as they occur, so these are common and usually not something judges -- or even lowly magistrates -- pitch a fit about.

Nonsense.

Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick--appointed by partisan DC-area Democrat judges in 2022--is going out of his way to carry water for James Comey.

Fitzpatrick--through his highly irregular ruling--is grasping at straws to make his findings that Lindsey Halligan (somehow) did something wrong.

She did not.

Fitzpatrick is even pretending there is missing evidence.

Is there any basis for his conspiracy theory?

They know the evidence against Comey is damning.

He lied to Congress to coverup his clear corruption in politicizing and weaponizing intel agencies and law enforcement to take out political enemies--the biggest scandal in American history.

So they are doing everything they can to stop Lindsey Halligan.

Lindsey Halligan is clearly over the target.

The Justice Department must appeal this fact-free and lawless ruling by Fitzpatrick.

The Deep State protects its own.

Halligan filed for an emergency stay, which was granted.

This doesn't mean the matter is settled, just that the government is now afforded the opportunity, which the lowly magistrate didn't think they should have, to rebut the insane claims of the defense.

And an actual judge will take a look at the lowly bureaucrat-magistrate's shoddy work.

Am I late? I blame the Cloudflare outage.

Cloudflare went down early this morning, causing half the internet to go offline.

Major platforms like Twitter/X, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Spotify, Facebook, Telegram, League of Legends, Letterboxd, and others were affected.

Thankfully this site runs on state-of-the-art (circa 2002) technology which makes it more reliable.
