United States v. Comey

New ORDER from Judge Currie, who's handling Defense's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment based on Unlawful Appointment of Halligan.

He instructs the gov't to file, "no later than Monday, November 3, 2025, at 5:00 pm, for in camera review, all documents relating to the [Halligan's] participation in the grand jury proceedings, along with complete grand jury transcripts."Image
It's been a busy past 24 hours or so on the Comey docket, as five amici curiae briefs have been filed in support of Comey and his motions to dismiss.
The groups making these filings are

- Former Senior Officials of the U.S. Dept. of Justice
- University Professors and Scholars
- Protect Democracy Project
- Bipartisan Group of Current and Former Members of Congress
- Former Federal Judges and Former United States Attorneys
The first three groups filed in support of Comey's MTD for Vindictive/Selective Prosecution.

The last two groups filed in support of his MTD for Unlawful Appointment.

I think the former motion is an exercise in reeeeeeacting but might be worth the effort, while the latter is a kill switch to the case.
Before all these hit the docket, there was a filing from Comey's team opposing the implementation of a filter team for the review of evidence acquired via four search warrants on Person 3, Daniel Richman, as part of the Arctic Haze investigation years ago.
I have a thread on that filing here
And cover it in video form on my next Just Human episode, which will publish here on X in about an hour from now.

United States v. Comey

Defense files in opposition to prosecution's motion for implementation of a filter team. Image
A filter team is needed for a set of evidence that was seized per search warrant from one of Comey's attorneys as part of the Arctic Haze investigation.

You may remember we got a bunch of declassified memos on that investigation and ~half dozen others over the summer.
Arctic Haze was focused on finding who leaked classified information to the NYT, specifically the information that appeared in this April 2017 article. Image

In an announcement yesterday, the U.S. "Special Attorney" for NJ referred to an indictment against two individuals for a hack of the U.S. court systems, among other intrusions.

Is this the group responsible for the PACER hack?
The indictment and arrests were made alongside partners in U.K. law enforcement.

The individuals are members of the Scattered Spider hacking group.

A DOJ Press Release describes a complaint, filed in NJ, against one of the individuals—Thalha Jubair. Image
Jubair is a U.K. national and is charged "with conspiracies to commit computer fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, in relation to at least 120 computer network intrusions and extortion involving 47 U.S. entities. The complaint alleges victims paid at least $115,000,000 in ransom payments."

In November 2023, Binance and its found plead guilty to money laundering, sanctions violations and other offenses.

They agreed to pay $4.3 billion and enter into a monitoring program under DoJ and Treasury. Image
The failures to comply with sanctions, banking regulations, and antimoney laundering practices resulted Binance handling financial transactions between “U.S. users and users in sanctioned jurisdictions such as Iran, Cuba, Syria, and Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine”.

Binance profited from these transactions, collecting $1.3bil in fees from US customers.Image

"In other words, the indictment presents an inaccurate description of the testimony at the heart of this case."

PERSON 1 = Hillary Clinton
PERSON 3 = Daniel Richman

but

PERSON 3 ought to be Andy McCabe!

From Comey's Motion to Dismiss for Vindictive and Selective Prosecution Image
"Mr. Comey expects to move to dismiss Count One based on a defense of literal truth." Image
Cruz was asking about McCabe, not Richman.

Comey plainly did not lie to Congress about his interactions with Mr. Richman.

The question from Cruz wasn't about Comey and Richman, it was about Comey and McCabe!

"No reasonable prosecutor would have brought such a deficient case; the only explanation is that the President’s handpicked interim U.S. Attorney did so to carry out the President’s wishes."Image

United States v. Comey

Nachmanoff quickly DENIES the prosecutor's motion to expedite a ruling on implementing a filter team protocol.

1) Defendants have yet to respond to the motion
2) Defendants have 14 days to do so as per local rules. Image
Nachmanoff also notes that DOJ has had years to address the issue it is now in a rush to resolve; the IG report as well as the Fitzgerald-Comey relationship and memo affair have been public knowledge since 2019; Fitzgerald didn't suddenly become Comey's defense counsel—he's been that since Sept 25Image
Interestingly, Nachmanoff lets us know some of what was under the redaction blocks in the defense's reply to the motion to expedite.

United States v. Comey

JUST FILED:

Motion to Dismiss for Vindictive and Selective Prosecution.
+
Motion to Dismiss based on Unlawful Appointment of Halligan

These were expected and may be highly consequential to the case. Could kill it. Image
I predicted the former would be a "hefty" filing thanks to the many words Trump, Kash, and others in the administration have repeatedly uttered against Comey in interviews, rallies, and posted on social media.

It is The filing is 51 pages plus almost 80 pages in exhibits.

Is it "more compelling than most" filings of this type? We'll have to read it to find out.
x.com/realjusthuman/…
The latter filing I predicted would likely give some folks a "case of the cognitive dissonances."

That's because, on the one hand, people on the right like that such a motion worked against Special Counsel Jack Smith... but don't like that a similar effort was lodged against Alina Habba in New Jersey... and they no doubt wish for this one to fail here against Lindsey Halligan.

And you can reverse all that for people on the left.

Both the Smith and Habba filings are referenced here
