"I thought the case was a choose-your-own-adventure of procedural errors, Adamson said. And here we are because this was a huge oneHalligan being appointed after the 120 days of the interim appointment had been exceeded was a huge problem. And indeed the court agreed that she wasn't lawfully appointed. And the problem here is that Halligan did everything on her own. And so now these indictments can't stand."
"Though she qualified her answer by citing the dismissal of the classified documents case against President Trump which was tossed when Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon ruled Special Counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed Adamson said Monday's ruling was truly unique. Usually, DOJ follows proper process and procedure, Adamson said. And now we see what happens when the DOJ attempts to do an end run around those procedures."
"A former federal prosecutor called out President Donald Trump's DOJ after what she billed a humiliating defeat as the indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were thrown out on Monday. Appearing on CNN's Inside Politics, Alyse Adamson, who served in the U.S. Attorney's office in the District of Columbia, called out the Trump DOJ for a series of procedural errors starting with the appointment"
Indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were dismissed after a federal judge found prosecutor Lindsey Halligan's appointment unlawful. Halligan's appointment exceeded the 120-day limit for interim appointments, creating a legal defect. Halligan pursued the indictments independently, and the court concluded the improper appointment invalidated the charges. The ruling follows another dismissal tied to an unlawful appointment issue but was described as unique. The dismissals represent a significant procedural setback for the Department of Justice associated with the Trump administration and emphasize the consequences of failing to follow DOJ appointment procedures.
