General Discussion

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.
