It is actually hard to keep up with the pace of developments. Multiple times a day, documents land on this docket that contain new inanities, new abominations in the sight of the law, new factual revelations, new reasons to wonder not whether this case will collapse but only how. At the hearing the other day, Judge Michael Nachmanoff seemed to be struggling with exactly this question, asking an attorney for Comey—in effect—which motion he wants the judge to dismiss the case based on..........

.........Let me translate this exchange, for those who don’t speak the somewhat rarified language of federal court oral arguments, into the vernacular:

THE COURT: Holy shit, dude! You’ve got like ten motions to dismiss that seem like winners, plus a bunch of other stuff. What order do you want me to handle these in?

DREEBEN: I feel you, my man. Do the vindictive prosecution motion and the fact that Halligan isn’t lawfully appointed first. And maybe throw in that the illegally appointed U.S. attorney didn’t even bother to present the indictment to the grand jury? The other stuff is dope too but it’s a little less foundational.
