EDVA with that MOE

Ok. Here's what I've learned. I'm pretty solid on most of this but please keep in mind I'm not a lawyer so if you can keep that in mind... Shortly after 12pm in the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) in a closed and secure courtroom colloquially known as a SKIF,a hearing was held. The Government argued before a 3 judge panel for a MOE (Marshall Order of Execution). The MOE was granted. A revised tactical and logistical plan was approved for Multiple Jurisdictions by the Court. This is a highly detailed plan using hundreds of United States Marshal Service targeting an unknown number of Trump associates. The operation commenced shortly after the Court's approved of the MOE at about 2pm. The MOE filing and number will remain under seal until the indictments are unsealed by the Court. End

Comey's paper trail

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president's improper efforts to influence an ongoing investigation. An F.B.I agent's contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.
