10:59Now PlayingBrian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose a catastrophic gap in the James Comey prosecution—two hours and 19 minutes of grand jury proceedings simply don't exist. Judge Cameron McGowan Currie discovered transcripts end abruptly at 4:28 PM, with no record of deliberations, questions, or voting until 6:47 PM. The bombshell? Attorney General Pam Bondi swore under oath she reviewed the "entire transcript" to retroactively ratify prosecutor Lindsey Halligan's authority—but the judge confirmed those materials never existed for Bondi to review. Brian and Shant explain Halligan, a former Trump lawyer with zero prosecution experience, personally presented the case despite leading an office with hundreds of lawyers. The missing section includes the grand jury rejecting one of three charges and unrecorded deliberations. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick called it a "disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps" and ordered release of materials. Judge Currie will rule by Thanksgiving on whether to dismiss the case. If dismissed, Comey can't be re-indicted because the statute of limitations expired—which Brian notes was why the proceeding was rushed past the court reporter's shift on September 25th.
