"Kangaroo thwart: The flimsy prosecutions President Trump ordered against his nemeses James Comey and Letitia James went kerblooey yesterday when US District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled that Lindsey Halligan-the former personal lawyer for Trump with no prosecutorial experience whom he installed as interim US Attorney in Eastern Virginia-had been appointed unlawfully. ( Washington Post) The judge's ruling was without prejudice, meaning charges could theoretically be re-filed,"
"though Comey's lawyers argued the statute of limitations on his charges had run out. ( NYT) "I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again," Comey said in a video he posted yesterday. ( James Comey/Substack) So what's next? US Attorney General Pam Bondi, another former personal lawyer for Trump, vowed to appeal. Comey's and James's current cases are toast, which temporarily puts aside questions of vindictive prosecution. ( Politico)"
