Summary
This video discusses a peculiar situation within the Department of Justice (DOJ) where no one is willing to represent the department in a lawsuit filed by Moren Comey, a former prosecutor. Moren Comey, who was fired three weeks before filing her lawsuit, is seeking to get her job back. The DOJ's reluctance is attributed to her extensive knowledge from prosecuting high-profile cases like the one involving Ghislaine Maxwell, suggesting she knows too much. The court has had to postpone a status conference because no legal representation has appeared for the DOJ, leading to the possibility of a default judgment. The video also touches upon the broader issue of declining morale and departures within the DOJ, especially under the Trump administration, and the dissolution of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which previously protected federal workers.
Notes
- No one in the Department of Justice (DOJ) wants to take on the Comey family, specifically James Comey and his daughter, Moren Comey.
- James Comey had a court hearing where he sought to dismiss his indictment and declare prosecutor Lindsey Hallan illegally appointed.
- Moren Comey, a respected career prosecutor in the US Attorney's office in Manhattan, was fired.
- Despite being sued, no one from the DOJ, including the Southern District of New York or the Eastern District of New York, has filed a notice of appearance or offered to defend the department.
- This lack of appearance is highly unusual, with the speaker noting they have never seen such a situation in 35 years of federal practice.
- The government has until November 21st to file their opposition or motion to dismiss, but a status conference had to be postponed due to no government representation.
- The speaker suggests Moren Comey's extensive knowledge from prosecuting Ghislaine Maxwell's case is a reason for the DOJ's avoidance.
- Moren Comey is seeking to get her job back as a federal prosecutor.
- The video highlights a significant exodus from the DOJ, with 5,000 people leaving in the last 10 months.
- Moren Comey argued in court that her inability to file a complaint with the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) led her to seek judicial recourse, as Trump had dismantled the board by removing all Biden appointees, leaving no quorum.
- The judge is close to granting a default judgment in favor of Moren Comey, which would reinstate her job.
- Judge Ferman adjourned the pre-trial conference until December 4th, 2025, ordering that the notice of appearance be served on the civil division of the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
- Reports indicate that the Southern District of New York has disqualified itself from handling the case.
- The speaker speculates that a high-level individual or someone from outside the usual districts will have to take on the case.
- Pam Bondi, who is involved, may have to conscript a lawyer to go against Moren Comey.
- A memo from February 5th, 2025, by Bondi to DOJ attorneys warns of discipline and termination for those who refuse to sign briefs, appear in court, or advance good-faith arguments for the administration.
- This memo was issued after whistleblowers like Arez Ruveni refused to lie for the Trump administration.
Quotes
- No one in the Department of Justice wants to take on the Comey family.
- And I don't blame them.
- Moren Comey, his daughter, a career prosecutor, who is esteemed, who has an enviable body of work as a prosecutor in the uh US attorney's office in Manhattan, who got fired.
- Nobody, I mean, nobody in the Department of Justice has decided that they're going to take on uh Marine Comey and appear in court, file a notice of appearance to say they're going to defend the Department of Justice.
- Hello. Is anyone home?
- We're almost out of time here, and no one has appeared from the Department of Justice and filed a notice of appearance.
- Not the Southern District of New York, who don't want to tangle with Morin Comey.
- Not the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, who don't want to do it either.
- Not the federal contracting unit within the Department of Justice in Washington.
- No one.
- Let me tell you how unusual that is.
- In 35 years of my federal practice, I've never seen the US Attorney's Office or the Department of Justice not file a notice of appearance in a case where they have been sued within hours or days of the suit being served on them.
- And the judge already set a status conference which he's now had to postpone.
- He's now had to postpone because nobody appeared for the government because nobody wants to take on Moren Comey.
- And who can blame them?
- Moren Comey was the prosecutor for Galain Maxwell.
- She knows where all the bodies are buried.
- She knows all the evidence like the back of her hand.
- I tried cases 20 years ago.
- I could I could do the opening statement for those cases.
- I know the case that well.
- Moren Comey knows the the how and why uh Galain Maxwell got convicted of five felony counts for child sex trafficking.
- That's the reason she's apparently now in a Beverly Hills style resort low a low minimum security prison in Texas and and trying to get a pardon out of Donald Trump.
- And when Todd Blanch went in to interview Galain Maxwell to try to get her to vouch for Donald Trump, a child sex trafficker, vouching for a president of the United States, how low we have sunk.
- He didn't want to take Moren Comey in with him.
- He didn't want anybody challenging his interviews.
- He didn't want to know the emails.
- He didn't want to know the documents.
- He didn't want to know the evidence.
- He just wanted to ask your questions.
- Oh, that's true.
- Oh, the moon is made of cheese.
- Oh, that's interesting.
- Morin Comey would lean into his his ear, which he didn't want, and say she's lying.
- That's not true.
- There's evidence against her.
- There's an email against her.
- So, he fired her three weeks before.
- She filed a lawsuit, Moren Comey, in order to get her job back.
- All she wants to do is be a federal prosecutor.
- And by the way, nobody wants to be a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice anymore.
- 5,000 people in the last 10 months either got fired or resigned.
- They're running away screaming from Pam Bondi and the chief legal officer of the United States, Donald Trump.
- By the way, I'm glad you're here on Midas Touch of Michael Popach.
- Another hot take, another day, another scandal.
- And come over to Legal AF YouTube channel and hit the free subscribe button there as well.
- When Morin Comey filed her lawsuit, she argued to the federal judge that the reason she's in court at all is because Donald Trump got rid of the Merit Systems Protection Board.
- That is a federal agency that's supposed to protect federal workers and their rights when they are wrongfully terminated.
- But we don't have one anymore because Donald Trump got rid of all the Biden appointees.
- There's only one person left.
- He's a Republican.
- There's no quorum, no merit systems protection board.
- No place to file your complaint.
- So she went because it would be futile.
- So she went to court and that's when there the government's on the clock.
- Now the government gets 60 days.
- Regular defendants get 30 days, but they get extra time.
- Judge Ferman looked around and said, "Where is everybody?
- Why isn't anybody Why isn't anybody here?"
- So, what Judge Ferman ordered when he looked around and saw no notice of appearance.
- In other words, they're very close to getting a default judgment granted against them in favor of Moren Comey, which will get her job reinstated.
- I mean, some some online pundits are like, "Is there anybody home in the Department of Justice?"
- They I saw a picture I loved.
- I'll put it up here of just an empty Department of Justice podium with nobody at it.
- I mean, it's headed by an empty suit, meat puppet, and Pam Bondi.
- This is what the Judge Ferman said.
- In light of the fact that defendants have until November 21 to respond to the complaint.
- The initial pre-trial conference, which he set believing that the Department of Justice would defend itself and file a notice of appearance in this matter, has been adjourned until December 4th at 2025 at 3:15.
- He wants everybody in person at 500 Pearl Street, one of the federal judge uh federal courouses in in lower Manhattan.
- Um because council has not yet appeared on behalf of the defendants, plaintiff Moren Comey shall no later than November 5, which she's done, serve a copy of this order on the civil division of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
- And then the judge put in an email of the person that he wants this notice to go to. and then that office shall share it with quote whatever component of the department of justice will handle this matter.
- Now the reporting that's coming out like through the New York Times is nobody wants to handle it.
- The Southern District of New York where James Comey was the US attorney not when his daughter was there at one time where Marine Comey applied her trade for 10 years has disqualified itself.
- They're not even going to let Pam Bondi try to pressure any of the individual prosecutors who don't want to take on Marine Comey in this case because it's it's such a bad case for the DOJ and they're going to lose.
- They're out.
- Eastern District of New York sitting in Brooklyn, they're out.
- Federal Federal Contracts Unit within the Department of Justice in Washington, they're out.
- So, who's going to do it?
- Some highlevel, I assume, or somebody from outside.
- They're going to have to get somebody from like Tennessee to come into New York in front of Judge Ferman to represent the United States Department of Justice and Pam Bondi.
- But he says whoever is going to handle it better file their notice of appearance and show up.
- He also reminds them that although there was an order after the government shutdown which said that civil cases in which the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York have appeared as Council of Record uh staying those actions while the government was shut down but now reopen.
- It doesn't apply because he doesn't believe that the Southern District of New York is going to be participating in the case at all.
- And he thinks a different component of the Department of Justice is going to appear.
- Now what's Pam Bondi going to do about it?
- She's going to have to go conscript and she's going to have to go order one of her one of her lawyers who don't want to do it to go up against Moren Comey.
- And how do I know they don't want to do it?
- They don't want to uh or how do I know she's going to do it?
- because she issued a memo.
- I'll put it up in legal AF Substack on February the 5th of 2025 which she reminded uh threatened members of the Department of Justice that she says it is therefore the policy of the Department of Justice that any attorney who because of their personal political views or judgments declines to sign a brief or appear in court refuses to advance goodfaith arguments on behalf of the administration or otherwise delays or impedes the department's mission will be subject to discipline and termination.
- Now, she issued this after people like Arez Ruveni uh and others refused to continue to lie for the Trump administration in front of federal judges.
- He was the whistleblower who issued a 28page whistleblower report that he was forced to lie to federal judges like Judge Zennus in Maryland and he refused.
- He got fired.
- She then issued the memo to have a little bit of a backdate.
- She loves backdating Pam Bundy. a backdated paper trail and and now we see what's going to happen.
- But so far, nobody's stepping forward.
- I'll continue to follow it right here on Midas Touch Network and on Legal AF.
