Over the weekend, Judge Nachmanoff made it clear that a large amount of discovery material is to be delivered to James Comey today. The prosecution team from North Carolina seem to be engaging in a series of stall tactics to delay this.

The eastern district of Virginia is known informally as the “rocket docket” because of its fast resolution times for cases.

    Why do they think anyone cares about this guy? Why do they care about this guy? I guess it is all good as long as this loser draws their flack, that’s less attention they can direct towards us.

      Trust me, other people in the government do care. This is not just punishment for Comey; it’s a message meant for everyone else that if they criticize Trump, they’ll be prosecuted.

      I care about the guy now. Because I care about the rule of law. I want real trials in my country, where defendants confront the evidence against them fairly. Not show trials and Col. Cathcart “we can’t tell you who Person 3 is” bullshit.

        oh see because of my basic understanding of my position in the world, i understand that the law has never applied for my benefit and that the people who think they’re in charge are all united against us

      Do you not know the whole thing for reals? It was kind of a big thing at the time.

      Of course, back then nickels had pictures of bees on ‘em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say.
