"As I noted here, in a telephone hearing yesterday, Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ordered the government to provide him with the grand jury transcripts in the Jim Comey case, which he will review after reading an ex parte filing from Comey's team laying out the unlawful evidence they suspect got presented to the grand jury. Loaner AUSA Gabriel Diaz may have helped them write that memo by confirming there were 14 exhibits presented to the grand jury."
"His claim - that there were 14 exhibits - may not be entirely true. I say that because that number - 14 - matches the number of exhibits included in last week's response to Comey's vindictive prosecution claim (the reply to which Comey submitted yesterday, which I'll return to). The exhibits posted to docket last week, which all include exhibit tags, consist of the following: Exhibit 1: DOJ IG Investigation into Comey's Memos Exhibit 2: Comey letter reopening investigation"
Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ordered the government to provide grand jury transcripts in the Jim Comey case for review after an ex parte filing from Comey's team alleging unlawful evidence presented to the grand jury. Loaner AUSA Gabriel Diaz reportedly confirmed there were 14 exhibits presented to the grand jury. The number 14 matches the exhibits attached to a recent government response to Comey's vindictive prosecution claim. The docketed exhibits include DOJ IG investigations, a Comey letter reopening an investigation, multiple Columbia emails and texts involving Dan Richman and reporters, an 18 U.S.C. 2071 opening memo, and briefing notes.
