#jamescomey — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Episode Notes

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah, who brings her extensive experience trying and supervising federal criminal cases to a discussion of what the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse can teach us about justice.

She suggests that the Trump administration’s eleventh-hour switchback tactic of calling for investigations of only Democrats speaks volumes about how the Justice Department is functioning these days, proving that vindictive prosecutions are the only game in town, bonus if they also have the effect of power-washing the president’s shadow from the scandal.

Next, they turn to the extraordinary scenes in a Virginia courtroom this week, as the DOJ’s case against former FBI director and Trump foe James Comey seemed ready to fall apart at the seams. As this administration’s practice of political interference in legal proceedings is supercharged by dear leader’s “Dear Pam” posts to “his” AG Pam Bondi, this conversation highlights why judicial integrity and the ever-expanding ranks of judges refusing to accept lies, are among the last best hopes for equal justice under the law in America.

Ron Filipkowski: "Ouch. The former insurance lawyer’s law license is now in serious jeopardy, along with the indictment. It also completely discredits a US Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of VA that used to be one of the most highly respected prosecutors offices in the world."
