We can expect a major filing from the Comey team to be filed between now and 5pm Monday.

A Motion to Dismiss for Vindictive and Selective Prosecution

Should be a rather hefty motion given the many statements Trump, Kash, and others have made about Comey over the years.

Will it work? I don't know. Such motions very rarely do. But this one, I think, may be more compelling than most.Image
I'm also keeping an eye out for the motion to disqualify Halligan. That one should also be interesting. Image
I have a short thread about that filing here.

I suspect it may give a case of the cognitive dissonances to a few people.

While working as NSA, Bolton transmitted diary-like entries to family members that included national defense and classified information.

He did so via commercial message apps and his AOL and Gmail accounts. Image
Between Sept 2019 and July 2021, Iran hacked Bolton's personal email account and accessed the classified and national defense information he had put in it.

Bolton alerted the US Gov't to the hack, but did not inform them of the classified and national defense information that was on it.Image
On a regular basis, Bolton sent "diary" entries via unsecured applications to two family members which described his "day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor."

These "diary" entries contained TOP SECRET/SCI-level national defense information.

Just complete disregard for proper handling of classified information.Image

United States v. Comey

Discovery has begun to flow as Judge Nachmanoff issued an order setting deadlines and the appointment of a CISO.

Rule 16 material is due to be turned over today. Image
The first piece of discovery, a single page, was produced to the defense at the end of last week. Image
Filings indicate it perhaps had to do with the appointment of Halligan and/or the identities of PERSON 1 and PERSON 3. While many of us are confident that PERSON 1 is Hillary Clinton (and PERSON 2 would be Donald Trump), the identity of PERSON 3 is up for debate.

Defense counsel intends to file motions to disqualify Halligan, and that motion would be due by October 20th.Image

"President Donald Trump has tapped a career government attorney who worked behind the scenes for years to root out misconduct in federal law enforcement to serve as the Justice Department’s next internal watchdog.

The White House on Friday named Don R. Berthiaume to serve as the department’s acting inspector general, a high-profile position that oversees internal investigations into fraud, waste and abuse in the department and its component agencies, including the FBI and the Bureau of Prisons."Image
Berthiaume spent 10yrs at DOJ IG and worked some notable cases. Image
Image
Horowitz will move to the Federal Reserve Board’s Office of Inspector General. Image
