      Trump-appointed judge David Novak wants to know why Lindsey Halligan continues to use US Attorney authority and title in EDVA despite a binding ruling that she was illegally appointed.

      Her homework is due in writing within 7 days

      > The Court hereby DIRECTS Ms. Halligan to file, within seven (7) days
      of the issuance of this Order, a pleading explaining the basis for Ms. Halligan’s identification of
      herself as the United States Attorney, notwithstanding Judge Currie’s contrary ruling. She shall also set forth the reasons why this Court should not strike Ms. Halligan’s identification of herself
      as United States Attorney from the indictment in this matter. Ms. Halligan shall further explain
      why her identification does not constitute a false or misleading statement.

      It’s about time that the system, or what’s left of it, responds in force to these clowns.

      This isn’t even in United States v. Comey; it’s a garden-variety carjacking case that was indicted on December 2.

      The fact that the blue-ink signature is that of a Virginia Commonwealths Attorney who is also serving as a Special Assistant US Attorney makes me realize that courts are weird, yo.

      These judges need to stop sending requests to explain. Just declare them in contempt every time. The Republican party and their stooges have complete contempt for the law and do not give a shit what a judge says. They need to be treated as hostile every time.

    5. Because the rules and accountability haven’t existed since 2016, what is congress gonna do? Send strongly worded letters? Oh no! Better watch out paper cuts hurt.

    6. Because *“Yee – haw – fuck the law!! Watcha gonna do about it?!”* maybe?

      Wonder how many surgeries I can get paid for before someone makes me explain why I’m continuing to perform surgery after I was told to knock it off. And I wonder how long that explanation gives me to keep doing some more surgeries before they make me come in and explain it again.

    8. Can we please stop having long waits between court sessions?

      The next meeting is 8:00 am tomorrow. Bring a good excuse, or a bag with your clothes and toothbrush.

    9. Because there are no consequences. If someone actually holds one of these people accountable, they might take you seriously.

      „Because I don’t believe in your authority, judge… Anyway, I’ve got this motion I want you to rule on…“

      Because nobody else wants to look like a jackass and do his majesty’s bidding

      So, it’s a nice start, but the judge could also be (i) dismissing these cases with prejudice, and (ii) ruling that they were filed fraudulently and therefore the defendant’s attorney’s fees are to be borne by the prosecution and Halligan jointly; and (iii) the Virginia Bar could disbar Halligan. That is a purely civil remedy by the bar ethics committee and doesn’t need any court or executive approval.

    13. No one even asked this judge he was just annoyed seeing her name on the paperwork? My kinda guy

      “The judge’s order goes on to say Halligan „shall further explain why her identification does not constitute a false or misleading statement.“ Novak also alluded to potential disciplinary action and demanded that Halligan sign her response.

      The U.S. attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.”

      Sign her response, that’s a sign that Novak is tired of her shit. Good on him.

    15. Literally everything she does is immediately tainted.

      What’s the benefit of keeping her there when everyone if her indictments will instantly get wiped?

    16. SwimmingPirate9070 on

      When is everyone going to understand that this Administration and it’s followers don’t give two shits about laws

    17. Trump protects himself, not his allies. You’d think they’d eventually wake up and realize this and turn on him and yet here we are, the grift machine is too strong.

    18. „Because you’re a punk bitch with no real authority anymore, your honor. We just need to be polite in court and you won’t do shit.“
