Comey still has friends at the FBI. Some of them know what is in those Epstein files. Comey also has former FBI friends that know what's in those Epstein files. I will bet something will leak within the next 7 days. It will not be good for Trump.

(7,290 posts)She does not allow her children to be alone with her dad. Either Jaren or Ivanka have to be in the room. I heard her say it a few years ago in an interview.
At the time I figured because of what he did to her. Could be she knows it was a lot more than her.

(11,785 posts)I'm sure there's all sorts of other discovery to be had regarding the handling of the case.
Wiz Imp
(7,502 posts)He already gave testimony to Congress recently behind closed doors. So we don't know exactly what he said, but reportedly he said he didn't remember to most of the questions. Of course he lied.
But Comey has no power to subpoena anyone at this point. Whether you're talking father or daughter, they're private citizens.

(70 posts)Comey can request issuance of subpoenas for trial!
Wiz Imp
(7,502 posts)Also, since Comey is not indicted for anything related to Epstein, I'm not sure that the court would see a valid reason to subpoena Acosta.

(41,536 posts)and totally screw them because the lawyer Lindsey whatsername has no clue what she's doing. This will force them into persuading another DOJ lawyer to go to trial because she doesn't know how to do that.
Furthermore, the indictment is two flimsy pages and they're the same count, even though they tried to make it look like there were two separate counts.
If he did this, Comey could issue subpoenas, as poster upthread remarks.
Wiz Imp
(7,502 posts)I think it gets thrown out pretty quickly. They have zero chance of a conviction.
NJCher
(41,536 posts)even refused to touch it. Pathetic.
ancianita
(41,998 posts)wrap up in no time, cuz there's absolutely no case.
Wiz Imp
(7,502 posts)I know it shouldn't really matter because there is zero possibility of a conviction.
ancianita
(41,998 posts)Reason is that the Eastern Dist of VA handles CIA, counterterrorism and national security cases, (because intel is in VA) etc., very heavy stuff.
So this isn't going to be like the DC Dist.
tinrobot
(11,785 posts)He found no credible evidence and would not press charges.
He was fired and another prosecutor was brought in (who filed today's charges).
Wiz Imp
(7,502 posts)That makes sense.
I don't think it ever sees a courtroom though. It should get thrown out before then because there is no probable cause. There is zero chance of a conviction.
ancianita
(41,998 posts)The OP is about Comey, not Epstein or Acosta.
Wiz Imp
(7,502 posts)It gets confusing because several people in the thread were talking about Epstein.

(1,531 posts)I think a massive leak in the next 7 days isn't unrealistic. There are just too many people in the know to keep the files from going public. Comey could be the perfect trip wire.

(7,255 posts)Please tell me these are jumping brain worms, ready to jump out and enter through Trump's left ear.
Job's half done with the Trump brain rot currently, anyway.
But yes - need I say this is another distraction attempt? EPSTEIN FILES! RELEASE! NOW!!!!!
