You mean that a lawyer who has never run an investigation before messed up? I’m shocked!

It is bedrock procedure to give a grand jury the full & final indictment they are signing off on, when you’re asking them to find probable cause and kick off the process of potentially putting a life away. That this was abused is immediate grounds to shitcan the case right now; this is over already.

When you put a turd in a position of responsibility all you get is shit stains everywhere.

Man, I shudder to think how much worse shit we’d be knee-deep in right now, if these fascist fucks weren’t so incredibly incompetent.

It wasn’t botched, it was on purpose. Halligan should be disbarred.

The judge made a great point. He asked how the prosecutor was able to come to an independent conclusion just 1 day after taking the job, and right after Trump told her to prosecute.
She claims she did it on her own. But how did she review the full case and all the evidence so quickly? And why was that the first thing she did?

So what does that mean, exactly? Does the case get thrown out?

It was not botched. It was willfully done illegally

Just in case anyone needed additional confirmation this administration is being staffed by incompetent buffoons tripping over their own shoelaces.

The court should assume this was intentional and dismiss the charges with prejudice.

The media/reporting is failing its paramount duty, once again.
Calling this “botched” is like calling someone who pulled the trigger on a murder “botching” holding the weapon properly.
Fucking hell…

Bro was innocent anyways. Also, he had the dream team of lawyers up against an idiot.

Trump lives at the intersection of corruption and incompetence.

“Botched”

The newsweek article gave me the impression the DOJ was intentionally submitting improper/ false paperwork with forged signatures…which is a crime- not an oopsie…

“Botched” paperwork…

This is what happens when Toadstool Trump tell HQ or whatever is upstairs to follow his lead. Most of his female lawyers have been chosen for their physical qualities and not actual lawyer ones.

“Botched paperwork” is a weird way to state what happened. She tried to circumvent a grand jury and falsified that it had been approved by them, so what was botched… people finding out?

Botched is a strange way to say they submitted a forged indictment to the court.

This isn’t just “paperwork.” Not showing the indictment to the grand jury is a substantive procedural step.

It was NOT “botched paperwork.” That makes it sound like a simple clerical error.
It was intentional fraud on the part of a partisan DOJ goon working under direct orders from POTUS.

Due to “Botched Paperwork”? The accurate term is Due to “Corrupt Intent to Indict Comey by Defrauding Grand Jury and Federal Court”
I am so dismayed by the timidity of today’s media

CLASSIC TRUMP. Let the inept ruin the government.

> In a stunning admission, prosecutors in the James Comey case conceded that the two-count indictment against the former FBI director was never presented to or voted on by a grand jury.
This is a bit more than ‘botched paperwork’, it’s literal circumvention of due process.

God the trump administration is so inept. They can’t even be corrupt and politically prosecute people correctly.

You can’t just indict him with your mind I guess.

I’m no lawyer but she seems to be way over head in that position.

Hilarious yet accurate. The only thing that has a remote chance of saving American democracy is the breadth of incompetence among Trump loyalists.

Who would have thought going after a top prosecutor would turn into them finding a way to slither out of being charged with anything.
Trump going after Comey just shows how stupid his fucking administration is.

“Botched paperwork?” That is charitable.

“Botched” suggests that this was accidental. This was absolutely, without a doubt, intentional.
Smaynard6000 on
The thing that most frustrates me about this is that the only point of it is to use the legal system to harass Comey. It doesn’t matter if there is no possibility of conviction. The fact that this a pain in Comey’s ass is the whole reason our tax dollars are being spent on this farce.

So if I try to enforce a contract that isn’t what I discussed with the other party and I signed it for them, is that now called “Botched Paperwork?”
