The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Fitzpatrick is carrying water for Comey through a lawless ruling designed to protect the Deep State. This quarter-century DOJ veteran overlapped with Comey and worked in the corrupt Eastern District office that Halligan cleaned up. Fitzpatrick is grasping at straws because the evidence against Comey is damning.
Anti-Trump narrative
Fitzpatrick has exposed Trump's weaponized DOJ and the politicized vendetta the president has against Comey. Inexperienced prosecutor Halligan made disturbing investigative missteps, violated attorney-client privilege, and misled the grand jury about the burden of proof. This case is falling apart.
