Judge Michael Nachmanoff is expected to determine whether to release the full grand jury record in the case against James Comey, following a magistrate judge’s concerns about the prosecution’s conduct.

Comey’s defense team argues Halligan’s role was to secure an indictment at the behest of former President Donald Trump.

DOJ Official Admits Trump Should Be Imprisoned

According to a new book excerpt, Justice Department officials believed former President Trump should be arrested after classified documents were found at his Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022. During the raid, FBI agents recovered numerous top-secret records, leading officials to express concerns about the potential danger if the documents fell into the wrong hands. Initially, Trump avoided charges, but later faced 37 felony counts related to the mishandling of the records before the charges were eventually dismissed. Trump has since asserted the raid was politically motivated and is seeking damages, claiming he was greatly harmed by the investigations.

Prominent surgeon indicted for alleged gunpoint sexual assault: DA – this is a headline that immediately grabs your attention, isn’t it?

Giuliani No-Show at Civil Trial Sparks Outrage

Rudy Giuliani’s absence from his own civil trial in New York is raising eyebrows, and prompting a flurry of speculation about his motives. The sheer audacity of his no-show is striking; one might expect even a less-than-stellar lawyer to show up for their own defense, but Giuliani’s actions seem to suggest a disregard for the legal process, possibly fueled by a misplaced belief that he’s somehow above the law.

The lack of a default judgment is perplexing to many. Why the seemingly lenient approach from the court? Is there a deliberate effort to avoid a swift resolution, perhaps in an attempt to maintain a semblance of order within a system facing criticism for its perceived inconsistencies?… Continue reading

Judge Rejects Delay for Jan. 6 Defendant Despite Trump Clemency Hopes

A federal judge has denied a request from a defendant in the January 6th Capitol riot case to delay his trial, dismissing the argument that President-elect Trump might pardon him. This denial comes as the defendant, an 18-year-old who entered the Capitol on January 6th, claimed that he was expecting to be pardoned by the incoming administration. He based this expectation on the assumption that Trump would fulfill his campaign promises of clemency for non-violent participants in the riot.

The judge’s decision, however, highlights the legal complexities surrounding potential pardons and their impact on ongoing criminal cases. While the potential for a presidential pardon exists, it is not a guarantee, and it certainly cannot be used as a reason to delay or dismiss a criminal case.… Continue reading
