Can a judge just arbitrarily order EVIDENCE TO BE DESTROYED?............
This judge thinks they can.
I have never heard of such a thing!..................
A judge ordering evidence be destroyed?!
Immediate disqualifier and judicial review.
You NEVER destroy evidence. Especially if the trial has yet to happen.
This guy’s an idiot. The article clearly says the data was received through a legal search warrant. No Federal Judge has the right to tell a law enforcement agency to destroy, or return evidence that was retrieved through a legal process.
Most likely the judge knows that this order will be thrown out on appeal, this is just another delaying tactic, designed to give Comey and his legal team more time to come up with screwy defense strategies.........
Giving cause for accusations of direct treason. These people are showing themselves to be the very epitome of evil. They MUST stand trial for treason.
Kollar-Kotelly is a very nasty piece of work:
As reported by the Catholic News Agency, during his speech, Trump specifically mentioned one of the activists, 75-year-old Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison for conspiracy to violate civil rights and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Harlow had been on house arrest due to poor health following her November 2023 conviction, but Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced her to serve out the remainder of her 24-month sentence in federal prison, followed by 36 months of supervised release.
“Paulette is one of many peaceful pro-lifers who Joe Biden has rounded up, sometimes with SWAT teams, and thrown them in jail,” said Trump. “Many people are in jail over this. …We’re going to get that taken care of immediately — first day.”
He continued by saying he would “rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who’s unjustly victimized by the Biden regime, including Paulette, so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong.”
DC Judge: ‘Truth’ About Aborted Baby Remains Not ‘Relevant’ to DOJ Case Against Pro-Lifers

A Washington, D.C., judge has refused to allow pro-life activists to show photos of aborted, preemie-sized babies as evidence in court, as well as a video wherein a D.C. abortionist allegedly describes how he would allow babies to die if they survived his abortions.
Her refusal pertains to the case of Lauren Handy and four other pro-life activists, who were convicted by a D.C. jury last month of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act when they sought to prevent the abortions of unborn babies by blocking women from a D.C. abortion clinic, the Washington Surgi-Clinic, in 2020.
In the Aug. 3 order, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly struck down Handy’s defense counsel’s request to enter the aborted baby pictures as evidence. The judge reasoned that “the truth” about how the babies were aborted is irrelevant to Handy’s case.
“Such photos are particularly incendiary and entirely distracting from the events at issue,” Kollar-Kotelly said. “The truth of the procedures related to the fetal remains are not, as Defendant concedes, relevant to this case.” gov.uscourts.dcd_.241671.333.0Download
Handy and her fellow pro-life activists believe that the babies were illegally aborted by Cesare Santangelo using brutal partial-birth abortion techniques, which are illegal under the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003.…
These political activist judges have no problems with withholding evidence to swing a jury their way so destroying it is acceptable to them.
Comey expected to work for ‘President-elect Clinton,’ knew top aide was talking to media: emails

Comey expected to work for ‘President-elect Clinton,’ knew top aide was talking to media: emails
Emails referenced in a bombshell court filing by acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in which the government rejected Comey’s argument that he was being maliciously prosecuted for providing false statements and obstructing Congress about actions he took as FBI director.
Federal prosecutors revealed Monday they have unearthed a trove of personal emails showing then-FBI Director James Comey openly talked in the days before the 2016 election that he expected to be working soon for President-elect Hillary Clinton and was being kept apprised by a top FBI aide on efforts to anonymously provide information to the news media.
“Well done my friend. Who knew this would. E [sic] so uh fun,” Comey wrote in an early November 2016 email after then-FBI special government employee Dan Richman briefed the FBI director on Richman’s efforts to provide information and guidance to The New York Times on an article involving Clinton’s email scandal.
The emails were referenced in a bombshell court filing by acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan and her deputy, Tyler Lemmons in which the government rejected Comey’s argument that he was being maliciously prosecuted for misleading Congress about actions he took as FBI director.

Right, we ARE talking about the Clintons, here. They are the worlds most accomplished and successful liars and cheats!
Here is the corrupt scheme between the Democrats and the judges:
Consider this: The Democrats have been blocking President Trump's appointments just like they did in 2017 (and even like they did to Bush in 2000 until 9/11 happened). Here we are in December and he still doesn't have his administration fully filled out. Senate Democrats have imposed an unprecedented blanket hold on all 93 U.S. Attorney nominees. Dick Durbin explicitly objected to Chuck Grassley's unanimous consent requests, blocking even nominees supported by their home-state Democratic senators.
The reason that President Trump has to appoint "interim" or "acting" prosecutors is that the Democrats are purposely stalling the confirmation of the permanent positions. They want to keep the seat vacant so that the judges can use the vacancies to void prosecutions whenver an "acting" prosecutor's term expires.
The Democrats have created a vicious circle: Block permanent appointment -> President appoints "interim"(120 day) officeholder -> temporary term expires -> Trump appoints a new "acting" officeholder (210 day term) -> acting term expires -> Trump does what??? The courts are now rejecting future appointments, resulting in the prosecutor being vacant and the court now gets to choose the prosecutor it wants!
This is becoming judicial tyranny on the grounds laid down by the Democrats by creating permanent vacancies that can never be filled. This gives the District Court judges, who are already hostile to Donald Trump, the legal cover they need to keep making these rulings. The court is showing no interest in considering deference to the Executive who must keep his Department of Justice operating when the Senate is obstructing his confirmations.
The Senate blocks the President, the clock runs out, and the Court legally "usurps" the appointment power. By doing this, they are making it impossible to prosecute anyone in a blue state.

I can hear it now...
“Let’s release this turd and see if it floats.”
Hellava way to run a railroad...
Go Bills! Sheesh...
TO. BE. IGNORED. Seriously, the answer to that HAS to be NO. No one at all, period, has the authority to order the destruction of evidence. Ever.
Withholding evidence is one thing, ordering it destroyed so that it can never be used again is quite another. This reeks of collusion, conspiracy and mafioso type behavior on the part of the judge. Corruption goes deep and wide............................
Nuke the filibuster for court appointments, get the ‘blue slip’ Senate nonsense thrown out, call for a Constitutional Convention to fix these problems permanently.
I read a while back that back in the old days before radio and TV, a president’s nominations were sent to the Senate and they were approved with just a voice vote and no committee hearings and such nonsense as we have today............
Probably shouldn’t say what I’m thinking.
