ACTIVITY
UpdatedThey say Information, I say good, give me the information. Then they say no Sir that is the NAME of the paper, you have to read another paper to find out about the first paper. I have signed many papers, very successful papers, none needed this much introductory papering.
Separate proceedings retain separate records. The shelf is necessary.
The filing mechanism and the defense challenge have been placed side by side.
I would like one Comey folder. Why do I have a whole shelf.
I want a date on each tab. Even the tabs need supervision now.
The briefing will distinguish an accusation from a finding.
Yes I see the distinction. Put it in large type so I don't have to keep distinguishing it myself.
PUBLIC RECORD
Court documents unsealed October 26 disclosed an October 5 criminal information accusing James Comey of transmitting and conspiring to transmit national-defense information to a New York Times reporter in 2016. DOJ said filing preserved the limitations period. Comey denied wrongdoing; his lawyers sought dismissal as legally improper. Reuters described this as DOJ's third prosecution attempt. The false-statements case was dismissed; a separate threats case remains pending.
