Lawyers for Comey ask judge to dismiss charges based on prosecutors' 'flagrant misconduct'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Last month's indictment of James Comey on charges of making false statements to Congress was the result of a yearslong relentless pressure campaign by President Donald Trump that shattered Justice Department norms and violated multiple laws and the former FBI director's free speech rights, Comey's attorneys argued Monday in a sweeping 51-page filing seeking dismissal of his case.

Comey pleaded not guilty earlier this month to one count of false statements and one count of obstruction of a congressional proceeding related to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020, amid what critics call Trump's campaign of retribution against his perceived political foes. Vice President JD Vance has said any such prosecutions are "driven by law and not by politics."

Trump's direct calls for his attorney general to act "NOW!!!" to prosecute Comey and other political enemies in a social media post last month was accompanied in the filing by an extensive detailing of statements dating back to 2017 in which Trump publicly called for Comey to be charged.

The subsequent installation of White House aide and insurance lawyer Lindsey Halligan to bring the prosecution over the objections of career prosecutors "establishes an invidious and bad faith motivation" to the charges, Comey's attorneys argued in the filing.

1. This judge seems to be a no nonsense judge and, IMHO, this should be a slam dunk

given Been A Dick Donald's statements, along with Vance's statements also.
Looking forward to what the judge rules.
