Judge in Comey case blocks order mandating DOJ hand over grand jury evidence, and this is where it all begins. It seems like the legal world is buzzing with activity, and it’s all centered around the case of former FBI Director James Comey. The story gets interesting as a federal judge has stepped in, putting a temporary hold on a previous order that would have required the Department of Justice (DOJ) to hand over a mountain of grand jury evidence to Comey’s legal team.
The Justice Department immediately requested the stay, and it was granted by U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff.… Continue reading

So, it seems a US judge has ordered the Department of Justice to hand over all the materials from the grand jury related to the case against James Comey. The reason?

Now, from what I gather, there are serious concerns about the way the prosecution handled this whole thing. Apparently, there are allegations of missing grand jury testimony – specifically, about two hours worth.… Continue reading

Dozens of former US Department of Justice attorneys have detailed the politicization of federal law enforcement during Donald Trump’s second term. The attorneys reported directives to investigate Trump’s political opponents, drop investigations, and mass pardons, including those who participated in the January 6th Capitol riot. This politicization extended to executive orders targeting law firms and investigations with predetermined outcomes, and the use of pardons for political allies. Additionally, there have been efforts to relax gift-acceptance rules, and misuse of government resources for personal gain.

Contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, new detention data reveals that only a small percentage of detainees in the Chicago area have criminal records. The Department of Justice filed data on Friday showing that of 614 individuals arrested, just 16 posed a high public safety risk. This list was produced as part of an ongoing lawsuit alleging violations of a consent decree limiting warrantless arrests. Further investigation has suggested that many of those detained may have been targeted based on profile rather than criminal history.

Following the release of Epstein’s emails by the House Oversight Committee, former President Donald Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein’s ties to several individuals and institutions. Trump’s request, made on Truth Social, cited the emails as a “hoax” used by Democrats to distract from other issues and requested investigation into Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and J.P. Morgan Chase, among others. Bondi quickly announced that U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton would lead the investigation. Trump’s involvement in the released emails was referenced, but he has stated that he kicked Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep.

Newly released emails directly contradict Ghislaine Maxwell’s statements to the Justice Department, exposing her false claims about Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. In a July interview, Maxwell stated she had never seen Trump at Epstein’s residence and did not witness him in any inappropriate situations. These emails further illustrate Maxwell’s pattern of deception and attempts to downplay the extent of connections. The full implications of these contradictions are still developing as investigations continue.

Several immigration judges with backgrounds in immigrant defense have been terminated by the Department of Justice, often without explanation, during their probationary period. These firings have occurred in the midst of ongoing immigration court proceedings and often target judges at the end of their two-year trial period. The firings have prompted concerns, and an analysis shows that judges with prior experience defending immigrants have been disproportionately affected. The DOJ maintains it does not target judges based on experience, while the ongoing terminations and subsequent hiring practices suggest a shift towards judges with backgrounds in enforcement.
