\u201cShe was a queen bee and she screwed President Trump to a fair thee well,\u201d diGenova snorted about the recently fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. \u201cWhat it is she is dumb as a post.\u201d<\/p>\n
Toensing agreed that it was a massive error to charge former FBI Director James Comey for making false statements to Congress in Virginia<\/em>, i.e., where those statements actually took place.<\/p>\n \u201cThat should have been part of a conspiracy in Fort Pierce, Florida, which she did not have the sophistication to understand. I never as attorney general would have allowed the one count against Comey in Virginia. I would have saved it for the vast conspiracy,\u201d she huffed.<\/p>\n \u201cYou do the same thing with You do the same thing with Letitia James,\u201d diGenova broke in. \u201cYou don\u2019t charge her in Virginia on mortgage fraud. you include her on a massive conspiracy account down in Miami with a bunch of people beginning in 2017, including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Susan Rice.\u201d<\/p>\n Creative theories of venue aside, the interview shows exactly what diGenova and Toensing expected when they joined the ongoing investigation in the Southern District of Florida. The plan was to round up all of Trump\u2019s enemies, including Jack Smith, Tish James, Jim Comey, and even Barack Obama, and charge them with being part of a \u201cgrand conspiracy.\u201d They could defeat the statute of limitations by saying that the crime was ongoing. Or they could call it deprivation of rights, which has no expiration date. With a grand jury supervised by Judge Aileen Cannon, the sky\u2019s the limit!<\/p>\n Except that it wasn\u2019t<\/em>. <\/p>\n Because, when you\u2019re tasked with using the legal system to go after one of Donald Trump\u2019s enemies, the point is not to build a case. You\u2019re not trying to establish probable cause and prove the elements of a crime. Conviction is more or less irrelevant. <\/p>\n The only<\/em> thing that matters is getting an indictment so Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel can hold a press conference patting themselves on the back for their great service to the Republic and the Old Man \u2014 although you do<\/em> get extra points for a perp walk that can be played endlessly on conservative media and turned into a meme. <\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter if the case falls apart in a few months, bringing the U.S. Attorney\u2019s office into disgrace or even contempt. Charge it, go on Fox, take the \u201cW\u201d \u2014 you\u2019ve got prosecutorial immunity anyway, right?<\/p>\n U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros, tapped to indict all the antifa protesters in Chicago, knew the deal. He didn\u2019t care about dragging his entire office into the middle of a scandal over prosecutorial misconduct before the grand jury. He indicted the \u201cBroadview 6\u201d and a handful of other dissidents, watched the cases fall apart, and then took his promotion<\/a>.<\/p>\n U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle in North Carolina could care less that the Comey seashells case will wash away with the tide.<\/p>\n But diGenova and Toensing were never in on the joke. They\u2019ve been mainlining stringboard-level conspiracy theories since the first Trump administration, when they were getting paid<\/a> by Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash and huddling up with Rudy and Devin Nunes to undermine the Mueller investigation. They thought this was finally their big moment. And according to CNN, diGenova was pissed to find that he was expected to spend a few weeks securing a piddly indictment of former CIA Director John Brennan and declare \u201cmission accomplished.\u201d And so on Thursday he stomped off in a huff, resigning his role as a special government employee.<\/p>\n DiGenova, who once had to apologize for saying that the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency should be \u201ctaken out at dawn and shot\u201d after the 2020 election, had a moment of indiscretion when talking to the New York Post\u2019s<\/a> Josh Christenson. <\/p>\n \u201cIf you want indictments where there\u2019s no evidence, you have an ethical problem,\u201d he snapped.<\/p>\n Later he regained his composure, telling the AP<\/a>, \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of evidence in all of these cases to prove the theories of prosecution. It just takes time to get there, and some people want to get there a little faster than others \u2014 and you can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, of course you can \u2014 and if you want to get ahead in Trumpland, you absolutely will. But every cloud has a silver lining. Before you know it, those two crazy kids will back on air with Rudy explaining how everyone but them is too stupid to understand civil procedure.<\/p>\n Trump admin pick to oversee a conspiracy investigation into president\u2019s foes resigns after DOJ clashes<\/a> [CNN]<\/p>\n Liz Dye<\/a>\u00a0produces the Law and Chaos\u00a0Substack\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0You can subscribe by clicking the logo:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The post Trump Ally Stomps Off After Discovering \u2018Grand\u2019 Conspiracy Is Actually Mid At Best<\/a> appeared first on Above the Law<\/a>.<\/p>\n Joe diGenova never understood the assignment. <\/p>\n The octogenarian former federal prosecutor thought he was being recruited to run the mother of all conspiracy cases and take out every dirty, stinkin\u2019 Democrat at once.
