Trump DOJ Attempts to Re-Indict James Comey After Statute of Limitations Expires [CLQQ51l9mZ6]
Trump DOJ Attempts to Re-Indict James Comey After Statute of Limitations Expires The legal cases against James Comey and Leticia James have been dismissed after a judge ruled that Lindseay Halligan was unlawfully appointed as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan made critical errors in presenting the James Comey case to the grand jury, including never showing them the final indictment and making false claims about compelling Comey to testify at trial. The statute of limitations expired before proper charges could be filed, yet the Trump DOJ is attempting to secure a new grand jury indictment against James Comey despite this legal barrier. Pam Bondi appointed Halligan as a special prosecutor, but the legality of this appointment remains questionable. No assistant US attorneys in Virginia would participate in the Comey or Leticia James prosecutions due to insufficient evidence and concerns about political motivations. Attorneys from Missouri and North Carolina were brought in to argue the cases, with one refusing to answer questions on orders from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch. The original indictment was obtained just days before the statute of limitations expired, following a declination memo from the previous properly appointed US attorney who found insufficient evidence. James Comey filed a motion to dismiss based on selective and vindictive prosecution, attaching a 60-page spreadsheet documenting hundreds of hostile statements Trump made about him. The judge dismissed both cases without prejudice, leaving the door open for potential re-indictment, though Comey's lawyers argue the original indictment was null and void due to grand jury misconduct. The legal battle over whether federal statutes allow a six-month window to refile charges continues. #JamesComey #Comey #LeticiaJames #LindseyHalligan #Halligan #PamBondi #Bondi #ToddBlanch #Blanch #Trump #DOJ #StatuteOfLimitations #GrandJury #Prosecutions #Indictment #EasternDistrictVirginia #Virginia #SpecialProsecutor #PoliticalProsecution #SelectiveProsecution #VindictiveProsecution #JusticeDepartment #FifthAmendment #Retribution #legalcases Timestamps 00:00 Cases against James Comey and Leticia James dismissed due to Lindseay Halligan's unlawful appointment 00:31 Judge rules Halligan illegally appointed as US Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia 01:04 Trump DOJ attempts new grand jury indictment despite expired statute of limitations 01:42 Previous US attorney declined charges against Comey due to insufficient evidence 02:08 Federal statute may provide six-month window to refile charges after statute of limitations lapsed 02:43 Pam Bondi appoints Halligan as special prosecutor with questionable legal authority 03:57 Halligan's grand jury mistakes include never showing final indictment and false claims about compelling testimony 04:46 No assistant US attorneys in Virginia would participate due to insufficient evidence and political prosecution concerns 06:10 Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch instructs attorney not to answer judge's questions about declination memo 07:26 James Comey files motion to dismiss based on selective vindictive prosecution with 60-page spreadsheet of Trump's hostile statements If you have the means and want to support Hawk you can become a Channel Member: SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK - Support on Patreon: - Hawk's Merch Store: - Connect on TikTok: - Connect on TikTok: - Connect on BlueSky: - Connect on Substack: - Connect on Twitch: (will be integrating this in the future) HAWK PODCASTS INFO - Additional Content Available Here: - or - - Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform: • Spotify: • Apple Podcasts: • YouTube: • iHeartRadio: • Pandora: • Simplecast:
