Justice Department’s Comey Case Stumbles: Grand Jury Never Saw Indictment
The Big Oops: No Indictment for the Grand Jury
On Wednesday, the Justice Department revealed something that sounds like a punchline: the grand jury in its criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never saw the final indictment. Never. Which is like planning a wedding and forgetting the bride.
An assistant U.S. attorney admitted the mistake, and Comey’s legal team is thrilled. They’ve been arguing for months that this prosecution is selective and vindictive, and now they have the ultimate “Are you kidding me?” moment. If you’re the judge, you’re probably thinking, “Do I really want to keep this circus going?”
Why This Matters for Comey’s Future
This procedural blunder could imperil the entire case. Without a properly presented indictment, the foundation of the prosecution crumbles. Comey’s attorneys are pushing hard for dismissal, and honestly, they might get it.
Key Takeaway: A missed indictment isn’t just a typo—it’s a legal earthquake.
Meanwhile in Washington: Epstein Files Drama
While the Comey case teeters, Congress passed a bill forcing the Justice Department to release Jeffrey Epstein’s files. The House and Senate overwhelmingly approved it, and now it’s waiting for President Trump’s signature.
But don’t expect those files to hit the public anytime soon. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been tasked with investigating ties between top Democrats and Epstein, which means those documents might stay locked up longer than your ex’s Netflix password.
Trump’s Saudi Soirée
And because this administration loves multitasking, Trump hosted a black-tie dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday night, followed by a business forum Wednesday. It’s like, “Sure, our legal system is on fire, but let’s throw a party for international guests.”
What Happens Next?
- Comey Case: Likely dismissal if the judge agrees the procedural error is fatal.
- Epstein Files: Delayed release as investigations continue.
- Saudi Relations: Strengthened ties amid domestic chaos.
