Convicted felon President Trump’s minions working to get a grand jury to return another bullshit indictment against former FBI Director James Comey will have to do so without access to certain “evidence” – apparently obtained without a warrant – from Comey’s friend and advisor Dan Richman, CNN reports. Comey may or may not have relied on Richman to act as a cut-out to feed leaks to the media during the 2016-2017 investigations into Trump and his minions’ connections to Russia.
Which is the entire premise of the alleged perjury case against him, that Richman was employed by the FBI at the time that Comey used him as the cut-out and Comey said no when Ted Cruz asked him about that during a hearing – in pretty the most confusing way possible. The whole thing’s so deep in the weeds on top of being incredibly fucking stupid and on top of that having been rushed by an extremely incompetent insurance lawyer a few days into her new job as the top prosecutor in what’s arguably the third or fourth most important federal court jurisdictions in the United States.
Oh and then there’s also the unanswered question of whether any new indictment would be lawful given that the statute of limitations expired just days after the first one was returned.
