QUOTE FROM summary of Jack
Smith's congressional deposition:
"His testimony is hamstrung by grand jury secrecy rules, DOJ policy and an order from a federal judge that a volume of his report surrounding the classified documents case remain under seal."
NEW GOAL: Get Trump to just once think the words "declassify Smith documents"

Ex-FBI chief James Comey pleads not guilty to charges of lying to Congress during 2020 testimony – CBS News
Ex-FBI chief James Comey pleads not guilty to charges of lying to Congress during 2020 testimony
By Callie Teitelbaum, Updated on: October 8, 2025 / 2:02 PM EDT / CBS News
Article image, James Comey.Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from congressional testimony he gave five years ago, appearing in court for an arraignment Wednesday after the Justice Department criminally charged the ex-FBI chief and Trump foe in late September.
The proceeding at the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, came nearly two weeks after a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation when he testified before a Senate panel in September 2020.
Comey spoke during the proceedings Wednesday. When the judge asked whether he understood the charges, he replied, “I do, your honor, thank you very much.” Prosecutors did not seek to have him detained, and Comey was released on his own recognizance.
U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, who is presiding over the case, set a trial date for early January, though that could change. Comey will seek to have the indictment dismissed before a trial, his lawyer said..
During the arraignment, Nathaniel Lemons, one of the federal prosecutors brought on to work on the case, said it could involve classified information, which could bring complications. Nachmanoff, however, noted that only two charges have been brought against Comey.
“The government is going to be under an extraordinary amount of pressure” to produce classified documents or declassify them, Nachmanoff said. “There should be no reason this case gets off track.”
Patrick Fitzgerald, Comey’s lawyer, told the court that they “see this as a simple case.”
Prosecutors estimated a trial will take two to three days, though Fitzgerald said he would seek to have the case dismissed on several grounds: vindictive and unlawful prosecution, and the legality of interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment to that role.
Mr. Trump announced last month that he had selected Halligan to temporarily lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia after the abrupt departure of Erik Siebert from the post.
Siebert had been kept on as the top prosecutor for the office by the judges on the federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia in May. Because of the involvement of judges in that district in extending Siebert’s tenure as U.S. attorney, the challenge to Halligan’s appointment will be heard by other judges outside the district.
Comey has said he’s innocent and, in a video after he was indicted, declared “let’s have a trial.” His wife, Patrice, and daughter, Maurene, a former prosecutor in New York, were in the courtroom for the proceeding. Maurene Comey was fired from the Justice Department in July and has since sued the Trump administration over her ouster.
The Justice Department’s prosecution of the former FBI director marked a significant escalation in President Trump’s efforts to go after his political foes. Mr. Trump has for years attacked Comey, who was FBI director when the bureau investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Days before Comey was indicted, the president took to social media to urge Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against the former FBI director and other political opponents, writing, “We can’t delay any longer.”
More on Comey’s arraignment
The arraignment took place in open court, but cameras were not allowed.
Comey’s lawyer said his team would file several motions to have the charges dismissed, including alleging the former FBI director is a victim of vindictive prosecution and arguing the U.S. attorney who brought the charges, Halligan, was appointed invalidly.
“Patrick Fitzgerald is a hell of a lawyer, and I would not want to pre-guess what strategy he’s going to follow here,” said Mitchell Epner, a partner at the New York law firm Kudman Trachten Aloe Posner.
Where did Comey’s arraignment take place?
Comey was arraigned at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, which is part of the Eastern District of Virginia. The case is likely being heard there because the charges are based on a 2020 Senate hearing that Comey attended remotely from his Virginia home.
If the case goes to trial, Comey will face a jury pool made up of residents of the Washington, D.C., suburbs — an area that generally disfavors President Trump.
Some 62.6% of voters in the eastern district’s Alexandria division voted for Democrat Kamala Harris last year, and 34.1% voted for Mr. Trump. The division includes Alexandria and several other cities and counties in Northern Virginia.
Who is the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan?
The case against Comey is being overseen by Lindsey Halligan, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who was sworn into the role just days before Comey was indicted.
A former Florida insurance lawyer, Halligan previously worked as a personal attorney to Mr. Trump, and was part of his defense team in a federal case accusing him of mishandling classified documents. More recently, Halligan worked as a White House aide.
She took over the office after the resignation of former acting U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert.
In an unusual move, Halligan has handled parts of the prosecution herself so far. She personally signed Comey’s indictment and appeared in court when the grand jury returned the indictment.
Two assistant U.S. attorneys from the Eastern District of North Carolina were added to the case Tuesday: Gabriel Diaz and Nathaniel Lemons.
Who is Comey’s attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald?
Comey is being represented by Fitzgerald, a well-known attorney who retired as a partner at the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in 2023.
Fitzgerald was named special counsel in George W. Bush’s administration, to investigate a 2003 leak that revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame. He also served as U.S. attorney in Chicago for more than a decade, overseeing the prosecution of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
