It shouldn’t have taken this long to notice a disturbing pattern. The rest of us saw it months ago.

Oh you mean its odd that 3 previous investigations under trumps own administration found nothing to charge, but suddenly he appoints his real estate lawyer to be a prosecutor and it miraculously goes through? Im sure theres nothing out of the ordinary here…

Everything the DOJ has done since the beginning of this administration demonstrates the level of depravity exemplified by its leaders.

>The judge wrote that “the prosecutor” made at least two statements to grand jurors that seemed to be “fundamental misstatements of the law.”
“Disturbing pattern” is an interesting way to spell “lied”.

>One of the remarks, the judge said, implied that Comey does not have a Fifth Amendment right to decline to testify at trial, which may have led grand jurors to believe that it is Comey’s burden, not the government’s, to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
>The other remark “clearly suggested” to grand jurors that they did not have to rely on the record before them and could be assured that the government had more, and possibly better, evidence that would be presented at trial, the judge said.
This is some Ace Attorney-tier bullshit lmao

Straight out of *Blacklist*.
In that show the main character (world’s biggest criminal) is asking the court for evidence they wouldn’t normally be allowed to have, but the judge agrees since the government has been caught lying several times he’s allowed (limited) access to the evidence.

Pretty good malicious prosecution case for Comey.

If these tactics are allowable against Trump’s enemies, one day they will be allowable against him and his friends.

That’s what it looks like when the DOJ is ordered to trump up charges against a political rival.

When you hire for loyalty over competence you really only get incompetence.

The headline is really underselling the opinion. The judge fucking RIPPED the prosecution on multiple, serious issues.
It won’t be shocking to me if the indictment gets tossed
Anyone wanna ELI5?
