Assistant United States Attorney

It kind of suggests that.

And if you remember, Todd Blanch, after firing Maureen Comey, Jim Comey's daughter, who was this incredible AUSA at the Southern District of New York.

She'd won lots of awards.

She was this great AUSA, prosecuted some of the most high-profile cases, including Ghislaine Maxwell.

She was fired several weeks before Todd Blanch's interview of Ghislaine Maxwell, which was really astounding because no way would she be fired for cause.

And in fact, this week and yet another kind of tangent you know i'm going off on a tangent another development she actually sued the department of justice saying you didn't have cause to fire me i have certain protections under the civil service reform act and you're just basically firing me without process without cause without reason and you did it just because of who my father is and also because of your perceived views of what my political affiliation is which obviously is against the First Amendment.

And he first tried prosecuting him You know, he's tried two other times to prosecute him.

One was dismissed.

And that prompted Patel the next day to order the U.S. attorney in Western District to start investigating actually something else involving these two people who were on his enemies list, Trump's.

And And the U.S. attorney there appointed a guy named James Kirkpatrick, AUSA, very young.

And he came out here.

And the other thing that's very striking about this case is that the charges are very tortured.

And so that's why they were denying involvement.

That's right.

And that was broached for the first time at the very end by the James Kirkpatrick, the AUSA from Western District of Missouri.

Nobody had mentioned that before.

Speaking of the Comey family,

James Comey's daughter Maureen, who was unceremoniously fired from her position as an AUSA in the Southern District of New York, sued saying that she'd been wrongfully terminated.

And she got a ruling from Judge Jesse Furman in New York saying, yes, Maureen Comey was wrongfully terminated.

Although, interestingly, there's not that much relief here.

She gets some back pay through when until she got another job.

But like I presumably, you know, if you if you're a prominent AUSA, you can make more money doing whatever you're doing in the private sector.

So it's not really like the key thing was that she had financial damages from losing her job.

She also got a declaratory ruling that her firing was unlawful.

My name is Theo Stamos.

I'm the first Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Welcome.

EDVA is proud to be at the forefront of a new approach to fighting large-scale fraud against the government, and that's the use of data analysis to find crime hidden in plain sight.

You know, he even had a big bout with the Office of the Pardon Attorney, Judge Fuhrman, because they submitted an opinion letter.

I guess it's protocol to submit an opinion letter to the judge and the AUSAs, and the AUSAs chose not to get involved.

He chose to write an opinion that he wants to unseal my pardon application and make it part of the public docket.

the uh partner attorney said no the office of the partner attorney said no because it's sensitive information it reveals a lot and and again that's truly the duty of the executive branch of the government the southern district of new york was trying to put me away for 11 years the deputies of the same industry actually took my side with the office of the partner turn and said this case, you know, usually when the pardon office right-sees, it means the case warrants merit, the pardon application warrants merit, and we do agree that the application should not be unsealed and put part of the public docket.

He's a very big advocate for J6ers.

So February of 25, I didn't know.

The AUSAs called my counsel at the time.

and threatened me with denaturalizing and deportation, saying that Judge Furman is very active in the blocking of deportation, so he wants to use that to deport me to save the taxpayers' money so they could just go to forfeiture.

What is that? Okay.

AUSA, the

assistant U.S. attorney.

He's supposed to be the U.S. attorney.

And while I was clerking, I had never planned to be a prosecutor.

But I saw the AUSAs come into court and they were so prepared and they were such good trial lawyers.

And the causes which they were giving voice to sounded so important.

So I was like, oh, I want to be a prosecutor.
