Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

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.

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?

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.

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

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.
