That's all I can say about today. Oh, my God. Although I, I did wake up to some incredible stuff. People were pinging me, my phone was blowing up because scathing ruling by Judge Fitzpatrick in the Comey case. And I am dying. I'm dying. It's so funny to me. And, you know, I find funniness in very weird places. But what's so hilarious to me is that Jim Comey asked for the grand jury materials so that he could see what Lindsey Halligan said to the grand jury. And the, you know, Department of Justice was like, no, that grand jury stuff is secret. But Judge Fitzpatrick, a magistrate judge, said, no, Comey can see the grand jury stuff. And then the Department of Justice was like, but that's not fair. The judge didn't say why. And the judge went, oh, all right. And cracked his knuckles and said, here's why you're full of shit. And like wrote this 22 page thing. She, like, got the law wrong when she talked to the grand jury. She told the grand jury that the burden of proof in a criminal case is actually on the defendant, on Jim Comey. It's up to him to prove he's innocent. So she thinks it's guilty until proving innocent, which is like a basic tenet of the Constitution. She also called them out for not getting a search warrant properly. Like their evidence that the whole case is based on, they didn't get a search warrant for. So, like, it's really, really bad. And that 139 minutes is missing. She only presented the case once. There's like, they listed. The judge listed like 11 catastrophic things wrong with what Lindsay Halligan did with this case. And I. It's not good. But the only reason we know about it is because the DOJ was like, you have to explain why. And he's like, all right, here you go. You really want everybody to know how stupid you are, how useless you are?
