BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

19.11.2025 16:27 — 👍 4609 🔁 878 💬 133 📌 157"Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia respectfully submits this supplemental notice to provide the Court with additional facts relevant to his motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution. Recent developments in Mr. Abrego’s habeas case before Judge Xinis, concerning the government’s misrepresentations about whether Costa Rica would accept Mr. Abrego upon his removal, make crystal clear that the government is willing to mislead the courts and defy court orders intended to shed light on its conduct, all in service of punishing Mr. Abrego. This provides further proof—if any were needed—of the government’s vindictiveness toward Mr. Abrego and underscores the need for discovery into the motivations of the high-level officials who initiated this prosecution and are ultimately responsible for the government’s misrepresentations regarding Mr. Abrego’s third-country removal."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.
More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

Ms. James now moves to dismiss the indictment on the ground that Ms. Halligan, the sole prosecutor who presented the case to the grand jury, was unlawfully appointed in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. As explained below, I agree with Ms. James that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Ms. James’s motion and dismiss the indictment without prejudice.
NEWS: A federal judge DISMISSES the cases against both James Comey and Letitia James without prejudice because of Lindsey Halligan's unlawful appointment.

"Mr. Comey is gratified by Judge Currie’s decision today dismissing the case against him. The decision recognizes that the case was brought by someone who had no authority whatsoever to be the United States Attorney. The decision further indicates that because the indictment is void, the statute of limitations has run and there can be no further indictment. The day when Mr. Comey was indicted was a sad day for our government. Honest prosecutors were fired to clear the path for an unlawful prosecution. But today an independent judiciary vindicated our system of laws not just for Mr. Comey but for all American citizens. I am grateful for the opportunity to watch the phenomenal eRorts of Rebekah Donaleski, Ephraim McDowell and Elias Kim of Cooley LLP, Michael Dreeben and Jessica Carmichael on behalf of a client who refused to bow to fear."

06.11.2025 19:27 — 👍 177 🔁 60 💬 11 📌 4The official Trump line is that this 50th birthday letter in Trump's name to Jeffrey Epstein — produced by EPSTEIN'S ESTATE to Congress, pursuant to a subpoena — isn't Trump's, despite the uncanny signature and typeface.
And that it's defamatory to suggest otherwise, to the tune of $20 billion.

In the first panel, a woman asks, "Wanna hear a joke?" In the second panel, Donald Trump responds, "Sure." The woman then says, "GREENLAND," to which Trump replies, "I don’t get it." In the third panel, the woman says, "YOU SAID IT," with a surprised expression.
