NEW: Counsel for James Comey confirms that his defense team plans to file a motion challenging the lawfulness of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. Attorney.

Motion will be heard and decided by an out-of-district judge.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Alexandria Division
United States of America
v.
James Comey
Defendant.
Case No. 1:25CR272-MSN
NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE MOTION ON UNLAWFUL APPOINTMENT
Please take notice that on October 20, 2025, James Comey, by counsel, will
file his motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of the
United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. See, e.g., United States
v. Garcia, Crim No. 2:25-CR-00230-DGC-BNW, ECF No. 39 D. Nev. Sept. 30,
2025); United States v. Giraud, et al., Crim No. 1:24-768-MWB, ECF Nos. 144, 145
(D.N.J. Aug. 21, 2025).
The Court advised at arraignment that such motion will require designation
of and assignment to an out-of-district judge to hear and resolve that motion. See 28
U.S.C. § 292(b); Minute Order, ECF No. 19 (Oct. 8, 2025). Thus, in the interest of efficiency and to avoid any unnecessary delay in such process, Mr. Comey files the
instant Notice to formally alert the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES COMEY
By Counsel
Is/
Patrick J. Fitzgerald
Michigan Bar No. P86579 (pro hac vice)

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

Huge batteries extend solar and wind and improve reliability.

Global battery capacity skyrockets 67% in 2025 and 10x by 2035.

California battery capacity triples since 2020 to 13 GW and will add 8.6 GW by 2027. #energysky

MIT President Sally Kornbluth just announced that MIT has rejected the Trump Administration's offer of federal funding in exchange for adopting the administration's agenda, making MIT the first university to take this stand. Other universities should take note because this is a clear example of how institutional power can be wielded to protect independence and academic freedom against authoritarian rule and the overreach of a would-be fascist dictator.

30 years later, many of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims like Annie are still waiting for justice. That’s why Oversight Dems continue to fight for the full release of the Epstein files.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1d

Today, Maine observes Indigenous Peoples' Day. We honor the lands and legacies of the Wabanaki Nations — Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Abenaki.

I look forward to passing legislation in the Senate to protect tribal sovereignty, which has been trampled for too long.
