🧵United States v. Comey

Another filing from Halligan seeking to clarify the grand jury proceedings that have been the focus of scrutiny over recent days and really, since day one in this case—as the just-filed Transcript of Return of Grand Jury Indictment Proceedings shows. Image For reference, here are the "no true bill" 3-count and the "true bill" 2-count indictments.

As you can see, Count Two and, uh, the other Count Two of the 3-count are IDENTICAL to Count One and Count Two of the 2-count.

Both were filed, as both were presented in open court. Image

🧵United States v. Comey

NEW filing by US Attorney Halligan clarifies that "the foreperson of the grand jury 'reported that 12 or more grand jurors did not concur in finding an indictment' as to proposed 'Count 1 only,'" but did concur on Counts 2 & 3.

So she made an edit. Image The 3-count indictment was edited into a 2-count indictment, numbers adjusted, and the foreperson signed the new one. Image

"There is no indictment."

It appears, based on filings and testimony from Halligan and her office, that the two-count indictment against James Comey was not properly presented and returned by the full grand jury. Image Covered this issue in this thread beginning here

🧵United States v. Comey

**HUGE WIN FOR COMEY**

Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick once again finds that disclosure of grand jury materials is warranted in this case.

Orders DOJ to turn ALL grand jury materials over to the defense by 3pm today and all audio recordings by 5pm today. Image What got us here is a bit complicated, but I have covered it in several threads and videos over the past few weeks and am not at all surprised by this order.

If you want to avoid reactionary takes and understand what is going on in United States v. Comey—I'm your guy. : )

United States v. Arnold et al.

NEW: Federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment last week in the criminal case against a North Texas Antifa Cell.

The case is remarkable because it is the first time an Antifa group has been hit with terrorism charges. Image On the night of July 4, 2025, near Alvarado, Texas, the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility, vehicles at the facility, federal agents, and responding Alvarado police officers were attacked by a group of almost a dozen people.

The attack was part vandalism, part ambush. Image

The DOJ and FBI have given @ChuckGrassley some 'dasting emails and internal memos re: Clinton Campaign/Fusion GPS/Steele Dossier/DNC nexus of corruption.

The emails "appear to show that Cooney [of USADC] and Pilger [of DOJ-PIN] stopped investigative steps into the matter." Image Exchanges occurred between June 5, 2019 and June 21, 2019.

The parties are an FBI Agent, Richard Pilger of DOJ's Public Integrity Section, J.P. Cooney of the U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C., and AnnaLou Tirol of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

"A federal judge expressed deep skepticism Thursday about whether a federal prosecutor handpicked by President Donald Trump to bring criminal cases against his political rivals was legally appointed to the role."

U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie promised she would rule on the matter before Thanksgiving. The grand jury transcripts "confirmed that “Ms. Halligan acted alone,” without any other government attorneys in the room. That could threaten both cases if Currie ultimately decides Halligan was invalidly appointed" Image

United States v. Comey

Last week, Mag. Judge Fitzpatrick denied DOJ's motion for a filter protocol and ORDERED them to turn over to Comey "all materials seized pursuant to the four 2019 and 2020 [Arctic Haze] search warrants," all grand jury material, and more.

DOJ appealed the order to disclose grand jury material.

🧵United States v. Comey

Yesterday was a key day in this case.

Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick, who's handling all proceedings re: implementation of a filter team, held a hearing on that issue.

He then DENIED the Gov't's motion and issued a number of ORDERS to the Gov't.

Today, DOJ defended the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. Attorney for EDVA.

In an order signed on Halloween, @AGPamBondi retroactively made Halligan a "Special Attorney, as of September 22, 2025" and gave her the "authority" to conduct legal proceedings in EDVA.

The order also says...

"[S]hould a court conclude that Ms. Halligan's authority as Special Attorney is limited to particular matters, I hereby delegate to Ms. Halligan authority as Special Attorney to conduct and supervise the prosecutions in United States v. Corney (Case No. 1:25-CR-00272) and United States v. James (Case No. 2:25-CR-00122)."Image Halligan's appointment is the basis of motions to dismiss in both the James Comey and Letitia James criminal cases.

Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a senior judge out of South Carolina who isn't assigned either the Comey or James case, is handling the matter.

Prosecutors in the criminal case against Fmr FBI Dir James Comey have filed a response to defense's opposition to implementing a filter team.

Prosecutors want that team to review privileged materials seized from Daniel Richman during the Arctic Haze media leak investigation. Image The filing says that Comey has asserted privilege (atty-client) over five text threads of communications between him and Person 3 from the indictment, Daniel Richman, who was counsel to Comey at the time of the communications.

A filter team is the appropriate method of handling this issue.

The remaining evidence HAS ALREADY BEEN FILTERED and was provided by Richman.Image
