SD. Comey’s Charges Dismissed After Trump’s Handpicked Prosecutor Misspells his Name as “Homey”
😂 FEDERAL JUDGE DISMISSES ALL CHARGES AGAINST JAMES COMEY AFTER TRUMP’S ATTORNEY MISSPELLED HIS NAME AS “HOMEY”
ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA (The Borowitz Report) — In a courtroom twist worthy of late-night comedy, all charges against former FBI Director James Comey were dismissed Wednesday after Donald J. Trump’s handpicked U.S. attorney accidentally misspelled his name as “Homey” on official court documents.
The presiding judge, visibly baffled, ruled that the error rendered the indictment invalid. “I’m not aware of any individual named James Homey currently under investigation by this court,” the judge said dryly before slamming the gavel.
Trump’s attorney, Lindsey Halligan, immediately pleaded with the court to overlook what she called “a minor typo” caused by “frickin’ autocorrect.”
“This is the first time I’ve charged someone,” Halligan explained nervously. “Indictmenting is hard.”
Observers inside the courtroom reportedly stifled laughter as Halligan continued her argument — further confusing legal terminology and at one point referring to Comey’s prosecutors as his “persecutors.”
The slip-up marks yet another in a series of embarrassing blunders for Trump’s legal team, who have faced increasing scrutiny for their handling of high-profile cases.
A legal analyst from Georgetown University described the debacle as “a new low for courtroom professionalism,” adding, “When your defense strategy relies on spellcheck, it might be time to revisit law school.”
As of press time, Trump’s legal team was reportedly considering filing an appeal — assuming they can spell “appeal” correctly this time.
😂 “The Borowitz Report” is a satirical column — not the news, but sometimes it feels like it could be.
