"As I noted, William Fitzpatrick ordered the government to turn over the grand jury materials to Jim Comey by 3PM today. In spite of all the ways that Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer fucked up, she's actually only responsible for three of the problems. Others stem from conduct under Bill Barr, when these materials were first seized with warrants targeting Dan Richman."
"This investigation concerned an allegation of unauthorized disclosure of classified information to a New York Times reporter, which appeared in an April 22, 2017 article titled "Comey Tried to Shield the FBI from Politics. Then He Shaped an Election." Id. The investigation focused on the article's inclusion of classified information related to one of the factors that influenced Mr. Comey's decision, as then-FBI director, to unilaterally announce the closure of the FBI's investigation into then-Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton's handling of classified material while she was serving as Secretary of State. Id."
William Fitzpatrick ordered the government to deliver grand jury materials to Jim Comey by 3PM. Lindsey, called the Insurance Lawyer, is accountable for three specific problems, while additional problems originate from conduct under Bill Barr when warrants first targeted Daniel Richman. Prosecutors have identified one investigation tied to those warrants: Arctic Haze, which probed alleged unauthorized disclosure of classified information to a New York Times reporter about factors influencing Comey's announcement closing the Clinton investigation. Daniel Richman was a named subject and Arctic Haze closed without charge in 2021. The warrants extend beyond Arctic Haze and reference 18 U.S.C. 641.
