Trump DOJ PANICS as Comey prepares BOMBSHELL FILINGS - Legal AF



Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how James Comey's defense team is mounting a powerful challenge to Trump's politically motivated prosecution, with plans to file motions arguing that prosecutor Lindsay Halligan's appointment is unlawful and the entire case constitutes malicious, vindictive prosecution.

The hosts reveal how Halligan—Trump's personal lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience—was appointed beyond the lawful 120-day limit and personally handled the grand jury herself despite overseeing hundreds of lawyers, while her predecessor Erik Siebert was forced out after refusing to bring charges due to insufficient evidence.

They detail how prosecutors admitted needing more time despite pushing for a January 2026 trial, haven't disclosed key information about unidentified persons in the indictment, and brought charges at the statute of limitations deadline after Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi on Truth Social saying "we can't delay any longer"—while the Trump administration has decimated the Department of Justice by firing or forcing out thousands of employees, eliminating most Civil Rights Division lawyers, drastically reducing public integrity prosecutors, and disbanding cryptocurrency enforcement and foreign influence task forces. - 10/13/2025.
