LOADING ERROR LOADINGNewly free from criminal indictment by the Trump administration that he said was “based on malevolence and incompetence,” former FBI director James Comey celebrated his victory on Monday with tempered expectations for the future. But that would take some fancy footwork on behalf of the Justice Department: When it comes to Comey, the statute of limitations for the alleged offenses has run out. What has happened at the Justice Department since Trump became president again is “heartbreaking,” he added. She was appointed just days before the statute of limitations ran out on Comey’s case and then rushed to seat a grand jury by herself since no other prosecutors would stand alongside her. The grand jury wouldn’t charge Comey based on her first presentation and then, only after she kept them after hours to deliberate, did they agree to indict on two charges.
