Comey的联邦起诉可能因程序问题而被驳回,避免就政治动机要求作出裁决。 Comey’s federal prosecution may be dismissed over procedural issues, avoiding rulings on political motive claims.

James Comey的联邦起诉可能被驳回,而没有就他提出的报复性、出于政治动机的指控作出裁决,因为法院往往在找到解雇的有效理由后停止审理。 James Comey’s federal prosecution may be dismissed without ruling on his claim of vindictive, politically motivated charges, as courts often stop after finding one valid ground for dismissal. 他的案件面临多重挑战,包括一项动议,认为检察官Lindsey Halligan的任命是非法的,类似于先前驳回Trump案而不是特别律师的任命。 His case faces multiple challenges, including a motion arguing that prosecutor Lindsey Halligan’s appointment is unlawful—similar to a prior dismissal of Trump’s case over special counsel’s appointment. 如果法院就这一程序性问题作出裁决,则可能无法处理Comey提出的有选择性起诉这一更广泛的主张。 If the court rules on this procedural issue, it may not address Comey’s broader claim of selective prosecution. 司法部为该案辩护,驳回政治报复指控,并声称检察官而不是总统作出了指控决定。 The Justice Department has defended the case, rejecting claims of political retaliation and asserting that prosecutors, not the president, made charging decisions. 科米在2020年对联邦调查局泄露的谎言表示无罪, 他还认为参议院的问题太模糊, 并寻求访问大陪审团材料. Comey, who pleaded not guilty to lying about FBI leaks in 2020, also argues the Senate questions were too vague and seeks access to grand jury materials. 其结果取决于待决动议,最后决定仍有待作出。 The outcome hinges on pending motions, with a final decision still pending.
