The #fisk of the #PamBondi statement on the #LindseyHalligan departure concludes:

> The Department of Justice will continue to seek review of decisions like this

As Judge #Novak pointed out, you lazy guys never even sought a stay of the order disqualifying #Halligan. Also you gave up on #ErikSiebert only for stupid reasons.

> that hinder our ability to keep the American people safe.

American safety doesn’t seem to be a concern of those that murdered #ReneeGood and then circled wagons around her killer. And what about the #EpsteinFiles? Isn't this the same #DOJ who tells judges that they need not follow a #law which doesn't have explicit private claims of action and penalties attached?

The #fisk of the #PamBondi statement on the #LindseyHalligan departure continues:

> and fulfilled her responsibilities with courage and resolve.

#ErikSiebert, #JamesComey, and #LetitiaJames all had the courage to tell Trump "no" and the skills to fulfill their responsibilities. Halligan’s lack of experience was cited by Judge #Novak as a reason he didn’t impose sanctions for her inability to parse and follow the law.

> Her departure is a significant loss for the Department of Justice

Normative opinion; contradicted by judicial action. Judges kicked her out because that was necessary under the #law, not a loss of a bona fide asset of the #DOJ.

> and the communities she served.

You are thinking of Erik #Siebert or career prosecutors, I think.

> While we will feel her absence keenly, we are confident that she will continue to serve her country in other ways.

James #Comey wanted to serve his country and the #Constitution and #Trump tried to imprison him with the illegal appointment of #Halligan.

> The circumstances that led to this outcome are deeply misguided.

I agree, #Trump is a misguided circumstance. But the circumstances that led to Halligan’s ouster are: Article II of the US Constitution, 28 U.S.C. § 546, and established precedent on officer appointments.

> We are living in a time when a democratically elected President's ability to staff key law enforcement positions faces serious obstacles.

I support the #USConstitution, Pam #Bondi, why don’t you? The president was Constitutionally elected, not democratically as then a majority would have voted for him.

The #fisk of the #PamBondi statement on the #LindseyHalligan departure continues:

> Lindsey worked tirelessly to protect the more than six million residents of Eastern Virginia.

Rhetorical filler; legally irrelevant. There is no “worked hard” exception to the Appointments Clause.

> Democratic Senators weaponized the blue slip process,

That’s a curious description of a vote according to agreed-upon rules. #Bondi and #ToddBlanche also "voted" no on #Halligan because she doesn’t have the requisite experience to do the job. Doesn't this framing miss on pointing at #Trump ?

> making it impossible for Lindsey's term as United States Attorney to continue following the expiration of her 120-day appointment.

False framing. The Senators vote had nothing to do with her illegal appointment and did not make anything impossible. If Halligan had the credentials for the job, the judges of EDVA could have been asked to legally appoint her as Interim US Attorney following the law. But she was Trump’s pick so all blame lies with him and his reasons for picking her.

> Despite multiple, unnecessary legal obstacles placed in her path,

Reversal of cause and effect.
The “obstacles” were: the #AppointmentsClause of the US #Constitution 28 U.S.C. § 546, and binding judicial rulings. These were not placed in her path, she just ran into them.

> Lindsey stepped forward at a critical juncture for our Nation

Trump created any problem here by removing Interim US Attorney #ErikSiebert, his own former pick, who was well under way to actually getting confirmed by the Senate just because #Siebert didn’t want to prosecute vindictively cases that he didn’t think could be won.

MSNBC reported today that former FBI Director James Comey "is expected to be indicted in the coming days," in the Eastern District of Virginia. This follows the replacement of acting U.S. attorney Erik Siebert, who refused to indict Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Former Trump personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan, newly sworn in as interim U.S. attorney, may have no such qualms. But according to LawFare Media's Benjamin Wittes and Anna Bower, it might not be as simple as all that. The two explain all the challenges for Halligan, from timing (the key statute of limitations runs out in six days) to the inherent weakness of the case and the thorny issue of what to charge Comey with. "This isn’t normally a problem prosecutors face, as they start with a crime, then figure out whodunnit, rather than starting with a person and only then deciding whathedun."

What does #DonaldTrump's removal of Eastern District of Virginia U.S. attorney #ErikSiebert tell us?

That New York Attorney General #LetitiaJames is more law-abiding than most of us. 👏🏻
