So now we learn that Beth Yusi, the Virginia prosecutor who fought against charging Letitia James, was fired for allegedly emailing investigative files about James to her personal account.

Let that sink in.
The same prosecutor who wrote the “no evidence” memo somehow had so much evidence she needed to take it home.

DOJ calls it a “policy violation.” Her lawyer calls it “nonsense.” CNN calls it “internal turmoil.”

But let’s call it what it looks like: damage control with a digital paper trail.

If Yusi really did forward files, that means she removed active case material from DOJ servers — a major breach. That’s not “career dissent,” that’s “career suicide.”

If she didn’t, then DOJ’s audit logs must’ve shown something that made them sure enough to pull the trigger. Either way, they don’t fire a 20-year prosecutor on rumor alone.

And here’s the part everyone’s pretending not to ask:
➡️ What exactly did she do with those emails once they hit her private account?
➡️ Who else saw them?
➡️ And why did every “insufficient evidence” argument somehow end up outside official channels?

When the prosecutor who wanted to protect Letitia James gets caught protecting her files, it starts to sound less like a legal disagreement — and more like a leak disguised as conscience.

I really hope that the prosecution has a solid case on both Comey and Bolton.

I don't see how the DOJ possibly wins this. Cruz was questioning Comey about Russiagate when he asked him if he'd ever authorized someone to leak. Comey replied "I stand by the testimony...that I gave in May of 2017" to Chuck Grassley. He never said he didn't authorize someone to leak. He never answered Cruz's question, so how can you accuse Comey of lying?

At the time of his testimony to Grassley in 2017, apparently Comey hadn't authorized a leak. He did subsequently, when he authorized his friend, Daniel Richman, a Columbia law professor, to leak Trump's request to drop the Michael Flynn investigation.

Comey probably didn't lie to Grassley, when Grassley asked him if he ever "authorized someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation." If Comey did, then it's going to be awfully hard to prove. Andrew McCabe says Comey didn't authorize him to leak info about the Clinton Foundation or Russiagate. And that's what Grassley was getting at. Also, please note that Richman, who leaked AFTER the hearing, wasn't an employee of the FBI.

Again, I don't like Comey. And the prosecution of Flynn, and some other prosecutions directed by Comey when he was a prosecutor, were shams. But the case against Comey doesn't hold water.

Bolton maybe.

Comey won him the first election. That case will be dropped

even you know Comey didn't intend to get Trump elected. he was covering his FBI ass so the NYPD couldn't rat him out if Clinton won about those pesky emails the NYPD found on Carlo's Danger's laptop.


the IG report already found Comey had violated policy by leaking info Biden's AG Garland covered his ass.
