"Halligan was an insurance lawyer who never prosecuted a case in her 10-year career. By contrast, Eric Siebertprosecuted 675 federal criminal cases and so, that is what we're dealing with. We're dealing with sort of a kangaroo court system at this point. I don't have the faith as a former federal prosecutor it gives me no pleasure to say this but I do not have faith in the office of the Eastern District under someone who has no prosecutorial experience."
"At Trump's directive, the Justice Department is looking into whether Comey lied to Congress during his 2020 testimony regarding the Russiagate investigation. Prosecutors are planning to ask a grand jury to indict Comey before the statute of limitations of five years runs out on Sept. 30. Erik Siebert, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, recently resigned after refusing to prosecute another of Trump's political enemies, New York Attorney General Letitia James. Siebert was replaced by Lindsey Halligan, one of Trump's former personal attorneys."
Joy Behar expressed agreement with Donald Trump's decision to pursue former FBI Director James Comey because of Comey's 2016 release of a letter about Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. The Justice Department is investigating whether Comey lied to Congress during his 2020 testimony about the Russiagate probe, and prosecutors plan to seek a grand jury indictment before the five-year statute of limitations expires on Sept. 30. U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned after refusing to prosecute Letitia James and was replaced by Lindsey Halligan, a lawyer without prosecutorial experience. Sunny Hostin criticized the replacement as undermining confidence in the Eastern District.
