Judge Raises Concerns Over Comey Prosecution

Federal Judge Raises Concerns Over Comey Prosecution: Potential Investigative Missteps, Grand Jury Integrity QuestionsA federal judge has expressed serious doubts about the governments case against former FBI Director James Comey, citing profound investigative missteps and potential errors in explaining the law to the grand jury. The judge ordered the Trump administration to hand over a full transcript and recording of a grand jury presentation, suggesting that the prosecutor may have compromised the grand jurys integrity. Comey pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The Justice Department sought an emergency stay of the judges order, arguing that disclosing grand jury materials was not warranted. The judge also raised concerns that the indictment returned in court might not have been the same one presented to the grand jury, calling into question the normal presumption of regularity in grand jury proceedings. This ongoing legal battle underscores significant questions surrounding the prosecution of James Comey. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
