District Judge Michael Nachmanoff asked Comey’s defense lawyer if he thought Halligan, the prosecutor who brought the indictment against the former FBI boss, was acting as a “puppet” or “stalking horse”

Yup...that’s some blind justice right there...no sign of bias at all.

Sounding like District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, is a puppet for the CIA/FBI deep state actors.

Projecting much judge?
It is long past due that these judges financials and computer history need to be investigated

“...Judge Michael Nachmanoff asked Comey’s defense lawyer if he thought Halligan had stopped beating puppies and kittens...”

This is performative outrage.

The question was in respond to a motion to dismiss based on “vindictive prosecution” and it’s not unusual for a judge to strip down overly wordy and overly flowering motions to the starkest, even most provocative, language possible when questioning the filer.

Ordinarily, good attorneys on the other side see this kind of thing as a gift: it gives perfect insight into what elements of the motion the judge is skeptical of and depending on how the filer responds? Also makes it easier to oppose the motion generally.

Sorry to say, but as a prosecutor friend told me over dinner last night “She’s now playing to a public audience because she loused up the filing and this case is likely to get booted long before trial.”
