Justice Department confirms in court filing it may prosecute Comey again

Source: CNN

The Justice Department said in court documents on Tuesday that it plans to continue its efforts to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey.

The department’s stance was revealed in a lawsuit brought by the former FBI’s director’s friend and former lawyer Dan Richman. It comes two weeks after Comey’s previous indictment was dismissed and after a judge put temporary limits on the evidence prosecutors can use in future grand jury proceedings.

In the documents filed Tuesday — in a fast-moving court battle over evidence used to investigate Comey over his statements to Congress five years ago — the Justice Department refers to the situation as both a “pending criminal investigation” and “a potential federal criminal prosecution.”

The DOJ wrote to a federal judge that Richman’s lawsuit shouldn’t be able to stymie a criminal prosecution.

They would have to get around that somehow.

Double Jeopardy I think depends on how far the trial actually gets. If it is before a jury is seated then it may not kick in. Not a lawyer so there are probably some details on this.
