Justice Department lawyers said Tuesday that a recent ruling barring their access to key evidence has effectively crippled their efforts to reindict former FBI director James B. Comey, two weeks after their original case against him was dismissed.
The concession came in a court filing urging a federal judge in Washington to lift a temporary order she imposed Saturday restricting the government’s ability to review or use emails and other electronic communications seized as part of an investigation more than five years ago involving Comey confidante Daniel Richman.
Richman’s records had played a central role in the Justice Department’s effort to indict Comey on charges he lied during a 2020 congressional hearing about authorizing Richman to leak information to the media — allegations Comey has denied. Tuesday’s court filing raised new questions about prosecutors’ ability to pursue their case against the former FBI director.
Richman, a Columbia University law professor who briefly represented Comey as his attorney in 2017, has argued that the Justice Department’s current use of those files violates his constitutional rights. Justice Department officials wrote Tuesday that without access to the communications between the two men the government is “effectively enjoined … from investigating or prosecuting Comey.”......
The FBI originally obtained Richman’s emails and text messages in 2019 and 2020 as part of a different inquiry into whether Comey had disclosed classified information to the media through Richman on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. That investigation was closed without charges.
Richman, in his request to Kollar-Kotelly last week, said prosecutors in that first probe had seized and analyzed more of his messages than the initial search warrants allowed and then unlawfully held onto them for years.

Can’t they appeal that decision, or are they just going to use that excuse to make it go away?
Friggen amateurs. Blondi needs to go back to prosecuting meth heads with no shirts. Retard.

That just shows the levels of corruption that we live with. The Judicial Branch needs rapid and massive reform. It’s like the Code of Judicial Conduct is the Pirates Code, really a set of guidelines. To wit:
ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct – Rule 2.11(A)(1)
A judge must disqualify himself or herself in any proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including (but not limited to) when:
“The judge has served as a lawyer in the matter in controversy, or was associated with a lawyer who participated substantially in the matter during such association.”
“The judge served as a lawyer in the proceeding, or was associated with a lawyer who served in the proceeding.”
Of the Deep State, by the Deep State and for the Deep State.
Satan is delightedly working overtime to protect his guy Comey.
What about OUR rights as citizens?
Court: "Whose?"
AG Barbie’s family must’ve been ultra generous donors to the Trump campaign. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Get Pirro in that job.
Why don’t the Rs ever come up with this stuff to block all the fake crap they throw on our side. The dems fight very dirty and very smart. Leaves the Rs behind everytime.
Pirro or some pit bull man would have been much better.
COWARDS, all of them.
COWARDS, all of them.
ha and people want to lock helliary up, can’t even lock up a 2-bit lawyer
My suspicion is they’re going to let it slide.
It had to be one of the reasons they stole the election in 2020, so none of their shenanigans would be accountable due to the statute of limitations.
The problem is nobody in the Bondi DOJ ever bothered to obtain a search warrant for the “evidence” they claim to need. That makes it fruit of the poisonous tree.
