Judge rules James Comey criminal case is dismissed without prejudice. The Judge determined that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not lawfully appointed.
Ruling: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.vaed.582136/gov.uscourts.vaed.582136.213.0_1.pdf
Thank you, vestiges of American justice system 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cue ketchup on the walls of the WH in 3, 2, 1…
Both Comey and Letitia James cases have been dismissed.
That’s the only silver lining about the incompetence of this administration – sometimes it hurts them.
Isn’t it weird how James Comey gave the election to Trump in 2016, and yet zero people on the left wanted him illegally prosecuted?
Dismissing without prejudice means the case can be refiled *if* the Trump administration can manage to lawfully appoint a prosecutor who’s still willing to perjure themselves.
This is great news. At least there are those still fighting for the rule of law.
BYE Felicia!
At very least, Hallligan should be disbarred for abetting this shitshow
The ketchup reserves are going to be seriously depleted.
“Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience.”
There is a shocking amount of basic *incompetence* running throughout this entire administration.
Not using a prosecuter who could easily be dismissed to be the lead in a high-profile prosecution is basic Administration of Justice.
Everyday is amateur hour for the tRump administration.
„I hire only the best people“ – Donald Trump
FABULOUS 👌. Incompetence and stupidity reigns in the kingdom
What a shit show. Bondi fucked up again
The good news is, these fascists are terrible at everything they do.
Bye bye Lindsay 😂 can’t believe you couldn’t see you were set up to fail.
That and, they had no case!!!
The only thing that might save democracy in America is that many of the authoritarian are incompetent.
Another L for Bondi and Trump
Turns out Trumped up charges for political enemies doesn’t work
Lol. Lmao, even.
Current administration/DOJ is a fucking joke. A crockpot of shit, if you will.
Lol. Lmao even
Lol
Lmao even
And so it was over before it even began. What a joke the current DOJ leadership is.
Truth Social meltdown coming in 3, 2, 1…
Turns out a real estate lawyer doesn’t make a good prosecutor….
That said, I hope Comey still suffers the rest of his pathetic life for getting Trump elected.
Not sure which is better. Womp Womp or Sad Trombone noises?
The scariest thing about the last ten years is that if these fascists we’re even remotely competent. We would be totally screwed and look like Russia.
So, we have that going for us, lol
So they were trying to get him for breaking the law and in doing so broke the law themselves? Truly, only the best and brightest are serving in this administration.
Just be glad they are this incompetent. I hate to see them good at being fascist.
Ok so the argument is:
Bondi believes the rule is 120 days PER interim US attorney. Vs others saying it’s 120 days TOTAL for ANY interim US attorney.
And since the person before used up the 120 days, Halligan is supposedly an illegal hire because the District Court was supposed to appoint the new US attorney.
It literally says on the Congress.gov website that the 120 days is from the first appointment, not when the vacancy occurs.
And then Bondi tries to sneak in this supposed memo from Oct naming Halligan a special prosecutor retroactively and the judge said no. Which was stupid (shocking I know). How is she going act as both a special prosecutor AND an interim US attorney?
But then they fast track the appeal to the Supreme Court like everything else? And SCOTUS reverses decision?
It’s time for the GOP criminal gang to be removed from power and held accountable
In addition to finding Halligan’s appointment illegal, the judge also rejected Attorney General Pam Bondi’s attempt to cure any defect by retroactively ratifying Halligan’s actions in both the Comey and James cases, saying the government was unable to identify any authority allowing the attorney general to rewrite the terms of a past appointment.
The argument for retroactive ratification would “mean the Government could send any private citizen off the street — attorney or not — into the grand jury room to secure an indictment so long as the Attorney General gives her approval after the fact,” Currie said. “That cannot be the law.”
