A federal judge on Saturday blocked federal prosecutors from accessing key evidence in the criminal case against James Comey.
Earlier this week Comey’s secret media mole Daniel Richman sought to block the Justice Department from accessing his files as the Trump Administration prepares to hit James Comey with a new indictment.
A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey in September. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
The charges are related to Comey’s testimony to Senate investigators in September 2020 about whether he authorized leaks to the media.
Newly released November 2016 emails reveal that James Comey was guiding his media mole, Daniel Richman, and authorized leaks to the media.
James Comey knew his ‘friend’ Daniel Richman was talking to the media, backing up claims in Lindsey Halligan’s case against the former FBI Director.
This contradicts Comey’s claims that he is being maliciously prosecuted.
The feds seized materials from Daniel Richman several years ago and he asked a judge to block the DOJ from accessing his files.
US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blocked the DOJ from accessing Daniel Richman’s seized documents.
The judge gave three reasons for siding with Richman and granting a TRO:
1) The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has not yet entered an appearance to make representations on behalf of the Government, and counsel for the Government has not yet been identified.
2) The Government has not yet indicated who has custody of the material at issue, and neither the Petitioner nor the Court can determine the identity of the custodian until the Government appears in this case.
3) The Court finds that the Government has received actual notice of Petitioner Richman’s Motion, ensuring that the Government is positioned to act promptly to seek any appropriate relief from this Order.
The TRO remains in effect until December 12 or until dissolved by further order of the court – whichever comes first.
The DOJ must respond to Richman’s motion for TRO by December 9.
Comey’s case is dismissed – for now.
A federal judge last Monday dismissed the criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James.
Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Clinton appointee, ruled that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
The judge also said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s attempt to ratify Halligan’s actions were “ineffective.”
The DOJ is preparing to refile charges against James Comey.
Earlier this week a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia declined to indict Letitia James.
