A federal judge may have dismissed the case against former FBI Director James Comey, but that doesn’t mean the story is over.
As BizPac Review previously reported, U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie threw out the cases against Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, claiming that prosecutor Lindsey Halligan had not been properly appointed. However, she dismissed the cases without prejudice, meaning they could be refiled at any time,
And it appears that’s exactly what FBI Director Kash Patel has in mind. Speaking to The Epoch Times, Patel revealed that the FBI and DOJ are planning to pursue multiple legal avenues in the interest of having their cases heard.
Watch:
“Well, because it’s pending in terms of appellate status and what we are going to do for the next steps, the judicial process can make whatever determination it wants, but we, the FBI and our partners at the DOJ have numerous options to proceed, and we’re executing on all those options. So, we’re not done,” Patel said of Comey’s case.
When asked to go into detail, Patel played it close to his chest.
“I would say stay tuned for right after Thanksgiving and you’ll see multiple responses, in my opinion.”
The dismissal prompted heated responses from the likes of Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“We’ll be taking all available legal action, including an immediate appeal, to hold Letitia James and James Comey accountable for their unlawful conduct,” Bondi told reporters at a “Safe Task Force” event in Memphis.
“I’m not worried about someone who has been charged with a very serious crime,” she added. “His alleged actions were a betrayal of public trust.”
“Everybody knows that James Comey lied to Congress. It’s as clear as day. And the judge took an unprecedented action to throw these cases out to shield James Comey and Letitia James from accountability based on a technical ruling,” Leavitt said in a segment with Martha MacCallum.
“And we believe the attorney in this case, Lindsay Halligan, is not only extremely qualified, but she was, in fact, legally appointed. And I know the Department of Justice will be appealing this in very short order,” she added.
While it’s clear that the Trump administration and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are interested in getting the cases back in front of the courts, the upcoming holiday season could make it difficult to get things moving before the beginning of 2026. It remains to be seen how quickly the government can remedy the issues outlined by the federal judge, and make the cases viable again.
