Judge finds constitutional problems in Justice Department case against Comey.

The Justice Department violated Daniel Richman’s Fourth Amendment rights by retaining his computer files and conducting warrantless searches, leading a federal judge to order the return of the files in a case related to potential charges against James Comey. The judge criticized the government for unlawfully intruding on Richman’s property and impeding a new prosecution of Comey. While allowing the files to be filed under seal for the investigation, the judge emphasized the importance of protecting individuals’ rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. The ruling follows a history of events involving Comey, Richman, and the Justice Department’s actions in a media leak investigation.
