On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement began an enhanced enforcement operation in Chicago Jan. 26, 2025. The operation included officers with the Department of Justice, the FBI, the DEA, the ATF and the U.S. Marshals Service.

A Dallas teacher previously accused of tampering with evidence tied to a July 4 attack outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado has been rearrested, this time with an additional terrorism-related charge. 

Court and jail records indicate that his bond conditions, including internet monitoring, were a key factor in his return to custody.

The suspect, 32-year-old Dario Sanchez, was first arrested on July 15 after allegedly deleting messages on Signal and Discord that investigators say were linked to group chats planning an “operation” at the detention center. 

His initial bond was set at $5 million but was later reduced to $150,000. Sanchez was indicted on August 28, released on bond the following day, and publicly claimed he was “wrongfully arrested.”

On Monday, he was rearrested for the same tampering charge, this time with a $1 million bond and an additional allegation of hindering the prosecution of terrorism. 

Court documents show the escalation was tied to his internet search history, which was monitored under his bond conditions.

The filings state that Sanchez conducted searches “best characterized as explosive construction internet queries.” 

Examples include how to melt plastic to make molds, how to modify radio-controlled transmitters, and whether Nintendo Game Boy batteries could serve as power sources for triggering devices. 

One search specifically asked whether a 900 mAh Game Boy battery could be used in a trigger system. Another focused on whether “aluminite” could be used in explosives.

When questioned about the searches by his bond officer, Sanchez claimed he was experimenting with hobbies, including building anime figure molds, tinkering with plastic model cars, and replacing a battery in his old Game Boy. 

His attorney, Frank Sellers, argued that prosecutors were criminalizing normal behavior. “He’s stuck at home trying to find a hobby, something to tinker with,” Sellers told KERA News. 

“And instead of allowing a person to live their lives, Johnson County has thrown him in jail for what George Orwell would call ‘thought crime.’”

Court records show that Sanchez was required to install GPS monitoring and remote surveillance software on his devices within seven days of release. 

The software was set to monitor for searches related to gun violence, anti-government activity, and general threats of violence. Sellers described the restrictions as excessive, calling them “the most oppressive bond conditions I’ve ever seen in almost 13 years of doing this.” He said he would appeal if Sanchez’s bond is not reinstated.

The July 4 incident at the detention facility remains under investigation. 

Authorities allege that as many as a dozen individuals dressed in black launched fireworks at the facility before one person opened fire from the woods, striking an Alvarado police officer in the neck. 

Seventeen suspects have been arrested, with fourteen facing federal charges. Hearings for those individuals were held earlier this week, with some transferred from Johnson County Jail to Wichita County Jail.Sanchez’s next court appearance is scheduled for October 16, where his legal team plans to contest the new charges and conditions of his detention.
