A former federal prosecutor predicted during a podcast interview on Sunday that the Department of Justice’s “extraordinary” case against former FBI Director James Comey will either fall apart — or Attorney General Pam Bondi will get “completely destroyed” by the court’s findings.
Last week, Trump-appointed attorney Lindsey Halligan, who is currently prosecuting Comey on two counts of obstruction of justice and lying to Congress, was ordered to turn over tapes of her interactions with grand jury members. The court’s order happened at a time when experts expressed skepticism about the legality of Halligan’s appointment.
Former federal prosecutors Kevin Flynn and Glenn Kirschner discussed Halligan’s case against Comey on a new episode of the podcast, “All The King’s” Men.”
“Through 35 years of my experience…we never had a judge order us to turn over these tapes to begin with,” Flynn said. “It was a showing of some type that there was abuse in the grand jury process that a judge would order the tapes of what the prosecutors actually said to the grand jury to be turned over.”
“So, we already have a judge who has crossed the Rubicon there, and has already made a determination that this material needs to be turned over in the first place, which is extraordinary,” Flynn continued. “And then to have the materials include missing recordings is even more extraordinary.”
“I predicted in a private conversation with you that this is going so far south that the Department of Justice is going to end up dismissing the case against Comey as opposed to having Lindsey Halligan and Pam Bondi completely get destroyed by findings that this judge is going to make, and by testimony that they themselves are going to be compelled to provide,” he added.
