Trump DOJ PUT IN THEIR PLACE as ARRAIGNMENT Goes HORRIBLY - Meidas Touch



Former FBI Director James Comey court arraignment on perjury charges was such a disaster for Trump and his Insta-Prosecutor US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, that the proceeding left her, according to witnesses, “rocking back and forth in her chair and nodding”; as 2 North Carolina prosecutors had to be imported in at the last minute to handle the arraignment when NO career prosecutor in Halligan’s own office would help her!

Michael Popok puts on his court clothes to dissect what just happened, including Trump chickening out on “perp walking” Comey, and how the judge setting a trial less than 3 MONTHS from now works to Comey’s advantage. - 10/12/2025.

If Halligan is disqualified, then the statute of limitations will have run on the bogus charges against Comey
