10:25Now PlayingTrump's HANDPICKED Prosecutor FUMBLES Comey Case
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBrian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the unraveling prosecution of James Comey led by Lindsey Halligan, Trump's handpicked US Attorney who presented her first-ever grand jury case to indict the former FBI director. US Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick slammed the Justice Department for taking an "indict first, investigate second" approach and ordered prosecutors to turn over a trove of evidence they've been withholding from Comey's defense team. The hosts explain how the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause requires prosecutors to disclose all exculpatory and inculpatory evidence—you can't ambush defendants at trial, especially when someone's freedom is at stake. Brian and Shant detail how Halligan presented to the grand jury alone after hours as the statute of limitations was about to expire, made rookie errors with conflicting indictment documents, and how the DOJ released information to the press that Comey's lawyers had never seen. Judge Fitzpatrick ordered all materials turned over with explanations of how they were obtained and whether attorney-client privilege was violated. Instead of complying, the Trump DOJ filed an emergency appeal claiming the order would reveal "government secrets"—the kind of refusal that typically results in dismissed charges.
