James Comey was arraigned on Wednesday on two federal charges, but his legal team is reportedly seeking to dismiss the case for “vindictive prosecution.”
The disgraced former FBI director pleaded not guilty on two charges related to his 2020 Senate testimony. Last month, President Donald Trump appointed Lindsey Halligan as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan indicted Comey days after her appointment.

Halligan recruited Nathaniel Lemons and Gabriel Diaz from the Eastern District of North Carolina as Assistant US attorneys in the case against Comey.
Lemons reportedly told Biden-appointed Judge Michael Nachmanoff, who’s overseeing the case, that the prosecution needs more time for discovery.
Meanwhile, Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said he’ll be filing a motion to challenge Halligan’s appointment.
Prosecution argues this is a “complicated” case and urged for more time in case
Judge M Nachminoff was initially skeptical of how complicated this two-charge, 2-page indictment really is

BREAKING: Comey case meets rocket docket. He pleads not guilty. Trial date Jan. 5. Comey to move to dismiss arguing Halligan wasn’t validly appointed. Massive discovery could slow case. Prosecutors made clear they don’t know what they have. w/@kyledcheney https://t.co/4cYkihujcL

While leftists try to make the case that there’s no case, Trump supporters argued that Comey’s own words speak for themselves, but many are leery that it won’t be enough to see accountability.
It’s all on tape.
Yet Comey pleaded not guilty.
Here’s one of the times James Comey was caught lying under oath.
He was protected until Tulsi released the documents showing the Soros, Clintons and Obama created the Russia hoax.
Enjoy prison!

No wonder Comey wanted to “86” Trump.
Comey doesn’t want to go to jail.
