#selective-prosecution

On Nicole's podcast today, I said that many of the criminal issues that will arise from Trump's politicization of DOJ won't be all that controversial at SCOTUS (and SCOTUS is least awful on criminal justice issues). But I said one area would likely break new ground: selective and vindictive prosecution. Jim Comey's prosecution - and that of everyone else Trump is pursuing - fits poorly in the existing precedents for selective and vindictive prosecution, even while they clearly are vindictive.

After loaner AUSA Tyler Lemons made a transparent bid at the arraignment to slow Eastern District of Virginia's rocket docket with both discovery and the invocation of the CIPA ( Classified Information Procedurs Act) process, Judge Michael Nachmanoff, Meanwhile, Comey noticed his intent to challenge Lindsey Halligan's appointment as US Attorney, so Judge Nachmanoff can refer the question to Fourth Circuit Chief Judge Albert Diaz, who will pick a District Judge from another District to preside over the challenge.

Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can't imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it's a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he's off to a very good start.
