  1. The state #bar acknowledged the inquiry in a letter last month to the nonprofit Campaign for Accountability, which had called for disciplinary proceedings against #LindseyHalligan over her conduct in the prosecutions of former #FBI director #JamesComey & NYAG #LetitiaJames.

    Halligan resigned in January under increasing pressure from federal judges in her district after a court ruled that she had been unlawfully appointed to her position, & dismissed the cases against Comey & James.

  2. 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.

  3. #LindseyHalligan charged #JamesComey with lying to #Congress & charging #NYAG #LetitiaJames with lying on mortgage paperwork.

    The #Trump admin has tried to restart the Comey prosecution & wanted McBride to lead that effort…. McBride said he could not do that while also running the prosecutor’s office as the first assistant #USattorney — he could do one or the other….
