#halligan — Public Fediverse posts

On Twitter, #PamBondi also has a statement on #LindseyHalligan and her departure. But it has little basis in truth or the #law so let's #fisk it.

> During her 120-day tenure as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of #Virginia

- Judge Currie expressly ruled that Lindsey Halligan was never lawfully appointed as U.S. Attorney at all.
- Her actions were therefore void ab initio — not merely defective, not expired, but never authorized.
- You cannot have a “120-day tenure” in an office you never legally held.

Also, it's a bit weird that NOW you say "interim" which Halligan was not using the filings.

> Lindsey Halligan served with the utmost distinction and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.

Directly contradicted by multiple federal judges.
- Judge #Currie: held that #Halligan ignored statutory limits, bypassed Congress, and acted without constitutional authority.
- Judge #Novak: described her filing as “containing a level of vitriol more appropriate for a cable news talk show” and emphasized that she ignored every lawful avenue to resolve the issue.

Serving “with distinction” does not include:
- Acting without legal authority
- Continuing to sign filings with a title a federal judge ruled invalid
- Filing briefs that do not answer the court’s question
- Treating binding judicial rulings as optional

> By prosecuting the most serious offenders including violent criminal illegal aliens, murderers, and child abusers,

Misleading at best; likely false as a justification.

This is credit-laundering: attributing the ordinary work of career prosecutors to an unlawfully appointed political figure with no prosecutorial experience.
