BREAKING: Federal Judge Dismisses Indictments Against James Comey AND Letitia James

It looks like the Two-Tiered Justice System in America just struck again…

A federal judge just tossed out the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James, claiming US Attorney Lindsey Halligan (who brought both cases) was “invalidly appointed”:

It is important to note that NEITHER dismissal has anything to do with the merits of either case, this is a procedural move only (and a disputed one at that).

Fox News discussed more here:

Here are more details from CNN:

A federal judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday.

The judge found that the appointment of interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan in Alexandria, Virginia, was invalid.

Trump handpicked Halligan for the role amid increasing pressure to bring criminal cases against his political enemies, including Comey and James.

“The Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid,” Judge Cameron McGowan Currie wrote in her Monday order.

According to Currie, “all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment” including the indictments against Comey and James “were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set aside.”

The judge tossed out the cases “without prejudice,” leaving open the possibility that the cases against Comey and James can be brought again alleging the same conduct.

CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.

Halligan, a former White House adviser, was selected for the role after the Trump administration pushed out the previous interim US attorney amid increasing pressure to bring cases against Comey and James.

In the cases against Comey — which Halligan brought before a grand jury just days after her appointment — and James, defense attorneys argued the 120-day period that an interim US attorney is allowed to serve prior to confirmation from the Senate or approval from the district’s judges had already expired when Halligan took the position.

This, they said, meant that Halligan’s appointment was unlawful.

Currie, in her order, wrote that unlawful appointment should “invalidate” Halligan’s actions — including presenting those two indictments to grand juries.

Not because their cases lack merit — but because of “PROCEDURAL ISSUES”
