U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie has dismissed the cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, under the grounds that U.S Attorney Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed to the role of prosecutor when she secured the grand jury indictments. [SEE RULING HERE]
James Comey was charged with lying to and obstructing Congress, relating to his 2020 Senate testimony about the FBI’s investigation into President Trump and Russia. Letitia James was charged with bank fraud and making false statements.
WASHINGTON – […] U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie concluded that Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia violated laws that limit the ability of the Justice Department to install top prosecutors without Senate confirmation.
“Ms. Halligan has been unlawfully serving in that role since September 22, 2025,” Currie concluded in opinions simultaneously filed Monday in both cases. “All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment … constitute unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside.”
However, Currie dismissed the cases “without prejudice.” That could allow prosecutors to attempt to obtain new grand jury indictments in each case. But Comey’s attorneys have already indicated that they will argue that he cannot be re-indicted because the statute of limitations in his case expired on Sept. 30. And Currie agreed that the deadline had passed without a valid indictment. (more)
Wait, I thought Comey said he wanted a trial.
He does. Trump’s.
This is a Judicial Coup, just as Nayib Bukele warned us about- that he dealt with in El Salvadore.
Trump has about 6 months to perform.
After that is the mid-term circus.
This is an EXACT repeat of the the first year of Trump 45.
There is even talk of tons of GOP House members getting ready to resign and throw the House to the dems, just like in 2018.
If the House flips, can they defund the Wall and stop deportations?
Which is why I think he wants $2,000 rebate checks going out
How are rebate checks going to change anything?
There isn’t enough to cover the checks anyway…why giveaway money that could be used to pay down the debt?
well Trump just gave the unneeded TSA workers $10000 bonus…..
I believe that is for Air Traffic Controllers who worked through the shutdown.
It was a proposal… maybe needs congress to approve?
I don’t want a rebate check. I want the feckless Rs in Congress to codify PDJT’s Executive orders.
Kill the filibuster and get some laws passed.
Kill the DC Washington Generals known as Republicans
You got 4 more years of not being strategically murdered by any means possible by your gov.
Don’t waste that screaming should have been
Bunker up. Build your independence. Get offt he radar, blend.
Not and exact repeat. He should have known to try harder this time around.
I’ll write him in prison.
Disgusting comment.
You think that whatever would write PDJT?
Disgusting but it could very well be true. I hope that President Trump FINALLY wakes up to the fact that most of his so-called friends in Washington are nothing but a pile of dirt bags!
Sad but true. Bolsenaro now in prison. I’m sure Trump is well aware he has multiple targets on his back, figuratively and literally.
If there aren’t multiple successful indictments within the next year that convince a majority of voters that the Dems were and are corrupt, then Trump and our Country are in BIG trouble. Pray and prepare for an uncertain future.
If and when the dims get control of the government, Trump and his family will be in prison. He should realize that.
If that happens I will never vote R again, since they will have proven themselves worse than the D’s by their betrayal of the MAGA base.
You do that and it’s a sure fire win for the D’s! You’re looking for immediate results. This has been going on for decades and will take decades to eliminate! Start at the Local level, then the State, then the National! The R’s you’re talking about are RINOs. They don’t leave the UniParty overnite! We must start to convert the RINOs at the Local,then State, then National to the MAGA (Lion) Party. The RINOs won’t give up the ship without a fight! The money was too good and easy!
There is no such thing as a RINO… The entire republican party is rotten to the core.
The repulsicans proved many years ago that they are worse than the dim-commies…
Most who resign will be very well paid to do just that.
All meant to induce disillusionment in MAGA.
Not justifiably?
Trump is up against the US branch of a shady, complex, formal and informal international enterprise exactly as described in great detail with receipts by Whitney Webb. She explains exactly why none of the favored within it are ever prosecuted, while those opposing it are… regularly.
Look up svetlanas post
It’s all about the MaraLago raid. It ties everything together.
Nothing else matters including this bullshit thrown out crap
Re: “Look up svetlanas post”
Where? Give a rational reference.
Here you go… Scroll through her posts… Pretty interesting stuff…. Don’t know which one “4thA” means but you’ll get his gist: https://x.com/RealSLokhova
I don’t have the energy to catch you up
Why do I get the impression that there are those who claim to be MAGA and support President Trump who want to see the demonrats take back the House and Senate next year?
Another example of Whitney Webb’s World.
I asked Grok:
What legal prosecution avenues are left after a judge dismisses criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James?
I then asked it to greatly simplify the very detailed answer it gave. It produced this:
| Person | Can They Be Prosecuted Again? | Main Remaining Options |
| James Comey | Almost certainly NO | Statute of limitations expired Sept 2025. Case is dead unless a miracle appeal revives it (very unlikely). |
| Letitia James | YES, still possible | – Refile same charges with a properly appointed prosecutor (SOL not expired yet) – Appeal the dismissal and try to reinstate the case – Bring new or slightly different federal charges – (Very unlikely) New York state-level charges |
Bottom line:
Comey = basically free forever
James = still in danger, case can come back
Nicely planned by the totally NOT reformed DOJ – wait at until the statute of limitations is a hair’s breadth from expiring and then screw up the process.
Comey still facing possible indictment/prosecution action in Florida ( Fed ) I believe.
The main point is that the DOJ is just as useless to MAGA as ever.
Grok:
James Comey is not currently indicted in Florida, but yes, he still faces a real, ongoing risk of indictment.
A federal grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida (Southern District) is actively investigating the 2016 Russia probe as a possible criminal conspiracy. Comey is widely named as a top target.
No charges have been filed yet, but the investigation continues and could lead to an indictment against him in 2026 or later.
Wait, wasn’t it Trump who appointed his prosecutor? How is that DOJ problem? He should have ordered the original prosecutor to file the case to get his foot in the door, then get someone else to actually try the case.
Bro, they did this on purpose
The USAO attorney was a Biden appointee and resigned. DOJ, under their appointment power named an “interim” prosecutor, which is valid for 120 days. When the 120 days ran off, as provided in the law district court then has power to appoint “interim” prosecutors. Apparently this was an amendment due to Di Fi in 2006 intended to prevent serial appointments of “interim” prosecutors.
The “interim” prosecutor was reappointed by the district court. Subsequently he resigned. The DoJ then named a new “interim” attorney for 120 days. The judge ruled this appointment illegal (appointment still under authority of the court, not DoJ).
DoJ seemed to realize they were on shaky ground, so they later also named her as a “special” attorney within the DoJ, not within the USAO for the Eastern District of Va. Judge wasn’t buying this either.
Good old Florida, the state where dreams still come true.
That too.
Possible… Yes, Probable…NO!
DOJ stall still ongoing…
Considering the overwhelming evidence, a Grand Jury is not even needed to indict, yet a Grand Jury will be impaneled in Florida in late January 2026… Just more stalling, more ‘window dressing’ to make us think something is being done by bondi’s ‘DOJ’…
<“Considering the overwhelming evidence, a Grand Jury is not even needed to indict”
Sorry, Amendment V/1:
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia”
If you believe AI.
Convenient excuse. What is incorrect about its answer in this case? Please provide details like it did.
The dismissal was without prejudice. So, even with the procedural defect, there is a long line of case law that says: If an indictment is filed within the statute of limitations, the limitations period is TOLLED, even if the indictment is later dismissed for a defect not related to factual guilt.
In his case, the Statute of Limitations is tolled and the DOJ under 18 U.S.C. § 3288 has within 6 months to refile.
The district court will appoint a valid interim U.S. Attorney and re-indict in weeks.
True as far as the legalities go, whether or not district court will re-indict is questionable at best.
Courts don’t indict.
Of course they don’t. It is the new valid interim U.S. Attorney that will.
Though the original attorney is also, a valid Attorney, which will be proven.
lol.
There is no SoL for conspiracy, sedition, treason or RICO
Well, some judge thinks there is.
This wasn’t mar Lago case
Those are not the charges in this case. I do believe grand juries have been convened for the larger conspiracy case(s) based on people’s reading the of the grand jury tea leaves. It sounds like Judge Canon may be presiding over one the key cases.
Statute of limitations has always seemed like a BS thing. Why should someone get off because they managed to escape justice for long enough?
No. Do you want to be in perpetual fear of having broken some law decades ago just because of this?
Ask that stupid bot about comeys implications in the mar.lago raid
Nothing is more annoying then looking like an A hole.jist cause people are getting mentally abused by gaslighting prop cases
I am not sure that Grok has that right.
Many analysts are saying that the Statute of Limitations test was met by the September Indictment, and that there is a 6 month timeframe to re-file the case with a new prosecutor.
There is also a possibility that the dismissal is overturned on appeal.
Congressional Seditionists are Emboldened by Lack of Deep State Prosecutions
If they are not up to the task, then President Trump must find new DOJ leadership with the fortitude to get the job done.
Roger Stone
November 24, 2024
“…But because the DOJ has refused to do its due diligence, the Democrat officials flap their gums and dare the administration to do something about it. In their eyes, they are still above the law. President Trump has delivered consequentially on many issues, but none are more important than cleaning up the Deep State….”
https://open.substack.com/pub/rogerstone/p/congressional-seditionists-are-emboldened
So as the first year closes:
– we have confirmation POTOS DOJ is weak
– the historic DOGE office is apparently closed, some folks joined departments, but it looks like thete will be no huge effort to cut waste, fraud, and abuse
– So we’ll continue to spend, spend, spend, and drive ourselves off a cliff
And your not tagged like a cow
I blame much of this on Thune and his inability to get Trump’s appointments through the Senate. This happened in his first term as well. If Trump can’t see this, and call it out for what it is, then I think all is lost.
They should have had the case totally and properly designed before 20 Jan 2025 and then worked with what was already at the DOJ, but you can see that even after his chosen ones “took over” as titular heads, the place is still ideologically against reform. 90% of the people there would need to be replaced to change that according to an attorney who works on cases fighting the DOJ.
As of November 24, 2025, estimates indicate approximately 2.8% of the FBI’s total workforce (about 3,500 of ~125,000 employees, including ~35,000 special agents) has departed or been replaced. This is lower than the DOJ’s 4.7% rate but exceeds typical annual attrition (3-4%).
Sounds like it’s just as bad as deportations – Biden did triple what Trump has done, Obama double.
Or..military is the only way. We all see this more clearly today. Reform won’t work.
Indicting Comey for perjury (lying to congress) was a waste of time, which is what bondi wanted to do…
Considering the overwhelming evidence, Comey should have been indicted for Treason.
It’s not “inability”, it’s by design.
hear, hear.
Hammer MEET nail.
It’s ALL BY DESIGN in DC.
Replace the word failed with REFUSED.
Do not be fooled by Thune’s “complaints” about the Democrats stalling the process for judge approvals.
That was 100% pure political theater.
John Thune is a Mitch McConnell acolyte but puts on a semi-MAGA act. There isn’t a single MAGA Senator in the GOP.
BINGO GB Bari…all RINO’s. NO recess so no recess appointments. Thune is a younger McConnell but with the same evil in his actions. Loathe all of them
👍 🎯
The simple argument is: “We are the Deep State, and we are Above The Law.” We can commit crimes with impunity, “run out the clock,” and escape all prosecution, and “f&ck the rest of you!” As they happily “skate” away . . .
I don’t think that this is how these cards are going to finally fall . . .
I sincerely hope your thinking is correct, but unless President Trump awakens and replaces bondi and kash, the dim-commie criminals will all skate away.
Physical and visual proof of both of their crimes and they walk.
We have no judicial system in this country and lady justice has no blindfold and hasn’t
All judges appointed by Clinton, Obama and Biden are suspect and given HRC connections to hiring foreign spies to interfer in our elections, they should all be under investigation for Treason.
From Julie Kelly
Describing acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan as “a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience,” Judge Cameron McGowan Currie today dropped the criminal cases against New York Attorney General Leticia James and former FBI Director James Comey pending in the Eastern District of Virginia. “I agree with Ms. James that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid,” Currie wrote. “And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Ms. James’s motion and dismiss the indictment without prejudice.” Currie wrote the same passage in her order dismissing the charges against Comey.
Currie, 77, was appointed to the federal bench by Bill Clinton in 1994. Last month, the chief judge of the Fourth Circuit tasked Currie, who is based in South Carolina, with handling Comey’s disqualification motion. Chief Judge Albert Diaz said in an October 21 order that the transfer was necessary for the “limited purposes in the interest of maintaining public confidence in the impartial administration of justice.” A similar motion by Leticia James also landed on Currie’s docket.
Both orders are here and here. In stark contrast to Judge Aileen Cannon’s five-month deliberations as to the lawfulness of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment—Donald Trump’s lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the documents case based on Smith’s unconstitutional appointment in February 2024 and Cannon agreed with Trump in the matter and dismissed the documents indictment in July 2024—Currie took less than a month to kick Halligan off both cases. (She held a hearing on November 13 when, among other things, Currie accused Halligan of intentionally withholding part of a grand jury transcript from the day of the indictment.)
Currie claims Halligan’s appointment violates federal law and the Appointments Clause of the Constitution while making the stunning argument that judges, not the president or attorney general, bear the primary responsibility of appointing interim U.S. Attorneys. (Will Chamberlain posted a good breakdown of her argument here.) Both James and Comey, Currie announced, can “[return] to the status [they] occupied before being indicted.”
The Department of Justice plans to appeal. Further, both indictments were dropped “without prejudice,” which means the government could seek new indictments although the Comey case might be trickier given the expired statute of limitations.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reacted to the judge’s decisions this afternoon on Fox News:
Comey already is taking a victory lap, claiming the decision vindicates him from any criminality. (It of course does no such thing.) He thanked his defense attorneys and DOJ prosecutors who had refused to bring any charges against him, resulting in a purge of the office. Comey forgot to mention that the father of Erik Siebert, the ex-interim U.S. Attorney removed for refusing to indict the former FBI director for making false statements and obstructing Congress, is godfather to one of Comey’s children.
Hopefully his preening won’t last long. Even if he skates on these charges, Comey appears to be a target of the DOJ’s “grand conspiracy” investigation into the perpetrators of Russiagate and decade-long lawfare against the president.
Their first try was to say that the revised indictment had not been presented to the full grand jury. That didn’t fly so they changed direction because legally they can do so. It’s the damndest thing I’ve ever seen but I’ve seen it before. One avenue literally proves them wrong, so they just pivot, come up with an entirely new angle, and keep going. I think it has been described as lawfare? Did any of us honestly expect the lawfare to stop?
Academic now, but what prevented DoJ from simply bringing the cases with a career prosecutor?
None would do it
They were all on Comey’s side.
Bondi. It was her case to win or lose. She’s in over her head.
Susie Wiles can be thanked for Bondi. Sundance told us it was she who convinced President Trump of Bondi’s greatness….
Sundance wrote: “It would appear that President Trump’s campaign co-chair, and current selection for Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was the link that pushed Pam Bondi to become the next Attorney General nominee.”

Who else loves Pam Bondi?
Dump Bondi…..

Done!
We cannot steal anyone from the HoR. The margin is already too thin.
I see all the foreigners are here to bash Trump and tell Americans how to run America. I guess x got a little too hot for them.
Must be Salvadoran judges.
Pretzels:
The shape of left judges exonerating the left.
The shape of left judges persecuting the right.
Imho: Comey will run for Pres.’28.
hahahahahahaha…..
This corruption can be fazed out if the New Normal mass election fraud is disrupted. All focus should be on that without the Bondi & Co. appearances on Fox News.. Leave the Tic Toc Boom to Con Inc. and their friends in the fake news media.
Relax! This is going to be repealed as Article II Appointment powers remains with the Executive branch not the Judicial branch!
in the case against Comey, with the argument regarding the Statute of Limitations, is it correct to assume that the DOJ will need to repeal the current ruling by the judge who ruled that appointment of the lawyer, Halligan, is the reason the judge dismissed the charges – so it becomes a battle in the federal courts over the rights and powers of a sitting President of the United States to hire the people he wants to hire in the executive branch’s Dept. of Justice.
With this ruling, re: the Comey case, is this furthering the liberal mindset to create precedent with their theory that the Dept. of Justice is separate entity and thus immune from the Executive Branch decisions and oversight? Something we heard under the Obama and Biden administrations, that talking point narrative that the DOJ is its own branch of the govt under its own authority apart from the Executive branch.
If so, this ruling must be appealed in order to rein in that false belief that the Executive Branch has no say over who works for the DOJ.
That mistake, authority over the department not being subject to the decisions of an elected siting President, needs to be nipped in the bud immediately.
Bad enough the Judicial branch is running amok with TDS sufferers, but to give any more weight to a false separation of powers for the DOJ all on its own, needs to end now.
The Democrats in the Senate are blocking Trump’s US attorney picks, so Trump is forced to appoint temporary ones until 120 days, then the Democrat judges pick new temporary ones. That’s the game that’s afoot.

As I said, this is all on Thune for failing to kill the “blue slip” and to place a priority on getting Trump’s appointments confirmed.
It’s interesting……After reading through all the comments not one person has pointed out that almost 50% of Congress are Lawyers…..This is the main problem without question…..Our Republic can not function when a profession of maybe 1% of the U.S population is 50% of Congress….This is the reason you see no impeachment of Judges or corrupt ‘Lawfare’ Lawyers….
Lawyers protect other Lawyers regardless of Political affiliation…Especially Politician Lawyers…..
Our Republic has virtually been destroyed by the Law Profession……
Are they saving the Bolton dismissal for tomorrow?
The termites embedded in the EDVA slow walked it to make it almost impossible to be successful. Bondi should have been alert to that early on.
So, get a competent legally appointed prosecutor and get cracking.
There is one. Her name is Lindsay Halligan.
She is legally appointed! President Trump appointed her as Acting US Attorney because the Senate has STILL not approved his nominees.

Some are claiming DOJ has 6 extra months to re-indict Comey under 18 U.S.C. § 3288.
Legally, that’s not how this works.
§ 3288 only applies if the original indictment was valid.
Judge Currie ruled the Halligan indictment was void because the prosecutor was unlawfully appointed.
A void indictment doesn’t toll the statute of limitations and can’t trigger the 6-month extension.
Bottom line:
The law treats the Comey indictment as if it never existed, and the statute of limitations has already expired.
That’s why § 3288 doesn’t revive the case.
here we go again. maybe the swamp is too deep to drain.
It is, nothing will ever change.
On one hand I completely agree with you, Maggie. But on the other hand, I believe that things definitely will change. Things will get worse. Much worse. And it’s already worse than we even realize. We must never forget the phrase: BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. jmho
So you are defeated? Or were you always in the swamp and you’re trying to demoralize people?
Do you get paid even for short and boring posts?
So, the Empire Strikes Back has you in the doldrums.
The way to look at is that there are many swamp creatures still, spreading disease and filth and fighting for their lives. But they’re not really in charge anymore. If we let them back on top, they will be, but that’s not what Trump has ever done to date.
if you cant drain the swamp , start shooting the alligators.
They aren’t dumb, they did this on purpose. No representation.
Bondi didn’t do a damn thing until President Trump called her out publicly. Is this how it’s going to be for the rest of Trump’s term? She should have had a list of what gets done. Unfortunately, it comes across that we have been duped yet again. Susie Wile is not the kind of gate keeper we need either.
Wiles, Bondi, Blanche and Patel need to be removed from their positions. 10 months is plenty of time, especially since Patel had knowledge of ALL the crimes committed and wrote a damn book about it.
Facebook posting:
“🚨 BREAKING: Senate Republicans refusing to toss out the “blue slip tradition” allowed the James Comey and Letitia James indictments to be thrown out by a liberal judge.
“Chuck Grassley (R-IA) refused to get rid of it — so Democrat Sens. Warner and Kaine could unilaterally block confirmation of Lindsey Halligan. And it hasn’t moved forward.
“So the judge had the ammo to claim Halligan isn’t legally in her position.
“And threw it out.
“Now we’re in this MESS.
“GET STRONG, SENATE GOP. TRUMP WARNED YOU.”
Chucky is a R.
It’s all totally broken. The Blob is nearly as entrenched as Satan. Trump tried, but too many repeat blunders similar to term 1. Poor or weak choices for some key positions in his administration (as others have stated); Uniparty running resistance and interference; judiciary applying lawfare at every turn. All this weakens and wears on those trying so hard to break through with lasting change.
Now I see Trump peddling a $2K payout of money America doesn’t have, and for what? Buy some support? Try to sell the broader public on the benefits of the tariffs? Sorry, don’t like it…it’s almost an imitation of a sleepy Joe/Obummer move.
Have you been drinking?
If you are feeling rotten, maybe take a break. If this is your attempt at trying to convince people things are bad, you need a new script writer.
Giving away money we don’t have is no different than Biden.
On the bright side, this is going to cost Comey and James more money — the appeal and/or future trials. 😀
They don’t use their own money.
Private Legal Defense Fund via Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA): In September 2025, DAGA—a national nonprofit supporting Democratic AGs—established a dedicated fund for James and other officials targeted by the Trump DOJ. This allows unlimited, undisclosed donations from supporters (bypassing state campaign finance limits), with James’ reelection campaign actively soliciting contributions via emails and texts framed as “standing up to Trump.” Watchdog groups like Reinvent Albany have called for greater transparency on these funds, but they remain a key pillar of her strategy.
New York State Taxpayer-Funded Budget Allocation: In May 2025, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic state lawmakers inserted a $10 million provision into the New York state budget for “outside legal services” covering state officials facing federal probes “in direct response to the exercise of their duties.” Though not naming James explicitly, the timing—amid early Trump administration scrutiny—has drawn accusations of it being a “slush fund” tailored for her. Republicans like Rep. Elise Stefanik and NYGOP Chair Ed Cox condemned it as an “abuse of power” and “taxpayer bailout,” especially since the charges involve personal real estate dealings, not official acts. James’ office has confirmed plans to use both private and state funds, but critics argue taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for non-job-related allegations.
Yes, it is an ongoing fight. We punch and they punch back, and most of the time TPTB use our money to punch us.
President Trump is cutting off the money spigots the dems have been using at the federal level and as you point out people are hitting back at the state level.
It is a gigantic mess, but making anyone pay more — from whatever means — is a win for our side. In one way or another their money sources are running dry and putting pressure on those resources is a win for us.
Maybe not now, but if we can get the legal cases going, that may slowly change as what used to be easy money gets harder for them to steal (what they allocating).
so what is next? does this get appealed? assign a new prosecutor?
the only effective fix will be to fire bondi and kash and replace them with folks that will do their jobs.
Oh good grief.
Im so tired of this judicial nonsense!!
Can they not appeal this judge’s decision that Halligan was illegitimately appointed? And if, on appeal, this ruling is overturned and it be decided that she WAS legitimately appointed, would the indictments then be re-enacted as having been unlawfully dismissed?
Hopefully Comey had to pay his attorneys 100K for representing him with more to come after the DOJ appeals the Clinton appointed judge.
Should be just a warm-up though for the millions he will have to fork up when the more serious indictments start in Florida.
Every time they demonstrate to the country that there are two tiers of justice in this country, one for democrat politicians and one for everyone else, they are inching their way toward revolution. They are fools if they think it can’t happen here.
Revolution can’t happen here.
The population is too soft.
Yep, if the Guys that fought and won WWII were still alive, they would have already gone to Washington D.C. and drained the swamp.
I’d be happy to do it the old-fashioned way, the way the left deals with immovable objects.They should all be looking behind them where ever they are.
Is anyone surprised?
I’m surprised it took this long. It’s almost as if this is all happening intentionally.
Of all the employees within the District Attorney’s office, why was the one who’s employment status could be vulnerable to a leftest judge’s interpretation selected to do this Comey prosecution? The words intentional obfuscation come to mind…
A pair of hasty, snarky opinions by Judge Cameron Currie once again illustrate an out-of-control judiciary increasingly seizing executive authority to sabotage the will of the people.
https://www.declassified.live/p/clinton-judge-dismisses-federal-indictments?
Comey was colluding with Clinton’s to let her and Bill skate …… and now THe CLinton judge lets him skate. Looks like organized crime to me.
Wow. Trump is fixing the country and much of the world, and he’s 24 – 2 at SCOTUS, but he and much of his administration is a failure because the lawfare that’s used against them in almost every instance sometimes succeeds.
Yes, I wonder why he continues to let corrupt judges usurp his powers…
Will Chamberlain comes in at the 7:43 min mark. Says case will be win on appeal and statute of limitations does not apply.
—
Judge Dismisses Cases Against Ex-FBI Director James Comey And NY AG Letitia James, Will Chamberlain Breaks It All Down
https://rumble.com/v7278bo-chamberlain.html
A president cannot install a nominee as acting U.S. Attorney while waiting for Senate confirmation.
Under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (Vacancies Act), once a person is nominated for a vacant U.S. Attorney position, they are generally prohibited from serving as the acting officer for that same position.
However, the Attorney General may appoint an interim U.S. Attorney under 28 U.S.C. § 546 for up to 120 days, independent of the Vacancies Act, which is what AG Bondi did.
This is what will be the crux of the appeal by Trump’s team.
Lindsey Halligan rushed to replace the resigning or being fired Erik Siebert, and in a matter of hours or days had indicted James Comey and Letitia James. She was some sort of White House staffer previously, working on indicting the Smithsonian Institution for something. After meeting President Trump at his golf club in 2021, somehow she managed to actually be present at Mar-a-Lago, when the FBI raid occurred, according to Politico.
Now that her indictments are dismissed, calls are incoming for Pam Bondi, who appointed Halligan, to resign. Actually, Halligan should resign and leave the President’s team. She misrepresented her abilities by promising and producing actions that were flawed, and she embarrassed if not injured her superiors. Halligan has not earned the benefit of doubt, and she presents as too sketchy to risk further adventures with her.
So you would prefer to skip the appeal and fire Halligan or have her resign. Trump’s team can do without that kind of input.
If you take the judge’s opinion seriously, it is not Halligan’s fault, but the fault of whoever appointed her in a supposedly illegal fashion. Why should she resign or be fired?
Halligan took the appointment, which was outside of the statutory 120 day period. And she signed the indictments by herself. We must ask, if she knew beforehand, that the indictments would be thrown out? We must ask, if that is what she counted on? If so, it was most certainly a strategy to get Comey and James out of jeopardy. What actually happened is, they got off scot free. I always consider if a surprising outcome is intended and not an accident.
Halligan was an insurance lawyer. And beauty pageant participant.
Insane to appoint someone not qualified to handle cases like this.
Dismissed without Prejudice tolls the statute of limitations. The DOJ has 6 months to do something with this. I have to admit, I find it interesting the judges reasons for dismissing. Since the President CAN appoint her as an interim AG and she can legally file these charges. I believe that the judge is wrong and other than giving Comey and James some headlines, I believe that this will be overturned. BUT the way it was dismissed extends the Statute of limitations.
Wrong. Once the President nominates her for the US Attorney position, he cannot then make her the acting US Attorney according to the Vacancies Act. But the AG can install an interim US Attorney independent of the Vacancies Act. That is what Bondi did. Perfectly legal.
The interim appointments can only be made that way for 120 days. That’s combined, not per appointment. Otherwise they’d be able to avoid Senate confirmation entirely by appointing a string of 120 day interim prosecutors.
They’re going to appeal based on that description being wrong. I’m not seeing that working.
But they have 6 months to re-file and get it right.
Wake me up when the shoʻting starts 🙄
O-Fer.
What will it take?
And don’t say “Let the process work” because THAT right there is what the tainted process births.
And by the comments I see the lessons of the Tea Party Treachery were not read, much less learned.
The BlueCoatFederals are the deep swamp state; every member of the legislative and judicial branches are part of it absent proof otherwise.
Trump was a political outlier for elected office; for administering the platform he is handcuffed. Worse he is gagged by (insert powerful but un-named forces here). We are not living a TV show, but reality. The reality is we are on a downhill slide and Trump cannot stop it. The performance of the past months, as good as it has been, will not prevent the Communist Left from scoring. Even if they don’t get a majority they win.
Mid-terms are looming and I’m seeing squat from the people that should have engineered a win by now.
Prepare.
All here are well aware of my ardent support for President Trump. Well, I’m disappointed. What was MAGA/America First, has been infiltrated by RINO Neocons and Zionist shills. It’s sad. Trump will never learn. His flaw is that he loves adoration and these snakes are aware of that and have used this to slink into his inner circles. I thought after his first term, he had learned. He hasn’t. He had a chance to bring forth the long knives. He didn’t and now they’re undermining him waiting for midterms.
So disappointed. He has cast aside devout MAGA loyalist like MTG, while opening the gates to pieces of shit like Lindsey Graham, who has always been working to undermine him and the MAGA agenda. Mitch McConnell did the same thing.
I’m extremely disappointed
If he continues to support Pam Bondi then don’t complain about this ruling
