Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

[gab13by13]

There was no court recorder during Comey’s grand jury grand jury trial.

This fake prosecutor Halligan needs disbarred and prosecuted.

A judge can’t rule about the grand jury with no record.

I guess the recorder was there in the beginning but not the end.

Halligan will soon be gone

4. My maternal grandmother used it all the time as well

5. That was my mother's idea of cussing.

That's how we do it in our house

8. I guess they are just...

Supposed to take her word for it because the orange ogre thinks she's pretty or some stupid shit.

9. Source?

I have read that the judge ordered the grand jury records be turned over to Comey's lawyers by the end of the day but nothing about there not being grand jury records at all. So where did you get this?

[Jersey Devil]

10. Nevermind, found a source

2) Currie said there was no way that Attorney General Pam Bondi could have reviewed the grand jury proceedings in the Comey case as she claimed to have done before she took the unusual step of purporting to ratify Halligan’s appointment after the fact in a document she signed on Oct. 31 but made retroactive to Sept. 22. That’s because the grand jury transcripts and recordings were incomplete.

(3) Currie said that the beginning and ending of Halligan’s presentation of the Comey indictment were not recorded and that for a stretch the court reporter was either absent from the room or not recording at all. It’s embarrassing and undermines the subtext of the Trump administration’s argument that the cases were handled perfectly routinely … even though Halligan is an insurance lawyer with no experience as a prosecutor who was hastily appointed by her former client Trump to beat the statute of limitations clock, which was about to strike midnight in the Comey case. In short, the new revelations further highlighted how nothing about either case is normal.

11. The incompetence is

staggering

[angrychair]

22. Am I understanding correctly

Is this saying that Pam Bondi lied by saying she reviewed testimony that apparently did not exist?

[Iggo]

31. That's my take away.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

27. And, nothing about either case is legal

[Irish_Dem]

12. They'd rather be beautiful than smart.

They can fake smart.

Oops, not so easy to fake smart is it you Trump Barbie dolls.

13. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6 is weak.

Except while the grand jury is deliberating or voting, all proceedings must be recorded by a court reporter or by a suitable recording device. But the validity of a prosecution is not affected by the unintentional failure to make a recording.

It's hard to swallow that the failure was unintentional. Any lawyer with one eye and half sense would know there was going to be an attack on the grand jury process. One of two things is true, either there was an affirmative decision not to have a court reporter or the record has been deep sixed.

[Jersey Devil]

14. So call in the court reporter for testimony

Ask the reporter why there is no record. I am surprised the judge did not do that.

[TomSlick]

15. That seems the logical answer.

[Sneederbunk]

18. Subpoena the members of the grand jury.

[barbtries]

19. she kept the grand jury there late.

I guess the recorder needed to pick up her children or something.

20. Hell we've never seen any transcripts of what IQ4.7 & Putin talk about.

[iluvtennis]

24. IQ4.7 - love it.

[KS Toronado]

25. Long time ago we called him IQ45, that was too high of an IQ for him

[iluvtennis]

32. I was here on DU during TSF's first term, but I missed that dig. But, IQ4.7 is defintely more appropriate. n/t

23. Fruit of the poison tree...

All charges should need to be dropped immediately and an investigation of prosecutorial misconduct begun.

[PikaBlue]

29. We added a fourth

In extreme cases, it was "Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the wee, small donkey." You need a Scottish accent to get the full effect.

[Baitball Blogger]

30. So, the facts are whatever they say it is?

[FakeNoose]

33. Will Pam Bondi and Lisa Halligan submit their law licenses and vacate the premises immediately!
