Episode notes
INSIGHT

Comey Indictment Is Lean But Potentially Significant

  • The indictment of James Comey centers on alleged authorization of leaks and obstruction, but the charging document is unusually terse.
  • Reporters suspect it ties to an October 2016 Wall Street Journal leak and internal FBI witnesses like James Baker and Andy McCabe.
INSIGHT

Ted Cruz's Question Broadened The Legal Hook

  • Comey's 2017 Senate testimony denying authorization of FBI leaks is central and legally delicate because Ted Cruz broadened the question in 2020.
  • Prosecutors apparently found grand-jury probable cause despite ambiguity about which leak fits Cruz's phrasing.
ADVICE

Raise Vindictive-Prosecution Defenses Early

  • If defending Comey, raise vindictive or selective prosecution early to shift burden to prosecutors.
  • Show Trump's public posts and the unusual U.S. attorney appointment to build a prima facie claim.
