A federal judge on Saturday temporarily locked down the Justice Department’s access to some evidence used in its criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, just as the Trump administration prepares to seek a new indictment after the dismissal of previous charges early last week.

The judge’s order sets up a fast-moving emergency court proceeding over this week that could exclude key pieces of evidence from any future proceeding against Comey, potentially limiting what prosecutors may present to a grand jury after his previous case was dismissed for different reasons.

    It’s been a minute but as I recall he did not treat evidence of wrongdoing the same between Hillary and Trump.

    The case against Comey is ridiculous, but frankly, he is having the day he created in the first place. Fuck that guy. Not that I think he should be found guilty of anything here, but I’m not celebrating his win here, just Trump’s loss.
