  1. #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….

  2. How many times are they gonna try this?

    A grand jury declined for a 2nd time to re-indict #NYAG #LetitiaJames Thursday, refusing to resurrect a mortgage fraud prosecution encouraged by #Trump.

    It’s another major blow to the #DOJ after the dismissal of earlier charges against James and another longtime Trump foe, former FBI Director #JamesComey, in a stunning rebuke of the Trump admin’s efforts to prosecute Trump’s perceived enemies .

  3. A federal judge in Virginia suggested on Tuesday that #LindseyHalligan should #resign as #USattorney after a ruling declared her appointment #unlawful, making the judge the THIRD jurist to challenge Halligan’s continued claim to the post.

    Halligan was handpicked by #Trump to oversee the US atty’s office in the Eastern District of VA after career prosecutors there resisted pressure to bring criminal charges against fmr FBI dir #JamesComey & #NYAG #LetitiaJames.

  4. 🚨🚨🚨 Federal judge #dismissed #indictments against #LetitiaJames & #JamesComey

    A federal judge dismissed the indictments against fmr #FBI Director James Comey and #NYAG Letitia James on Monday.

  5. …Lacking Democratic consent on its choices, the admin can only legally install prosecutors in a temporary capacity for 120 days — the “3 or 4 months” #Trump mentioned. But the post must then be vacated & filled by a selection by district court judges if no nominee can be confirmed.

    The issue looms particularly large in Virginia, where #LindseyHalligan, the #USattorney hand-picked by Trump, is prosecuting #JamesComey, the former #FBI director, and the #NYAG, #LetitiaJames.

  6. Seabright is the 3rd judge in recent weeks to disqualify top prosecutors appointed by #PamBondi to temporarily fill vacant positions in key federal offices, including those overseeing federal prosecutions in #NewJersey, #Nevada & now the #LosAngeles area. And the rulings may inform a 4th effort — by former #FBI Director #JamesComey & #NYAG #LetitiaJames — to disqualify #LindseyHalligan, the #Trump backed prosecutor in #Virginia who recently secured their indictments.

  7. The indictment of #NYAG #LetitiaJames, two weeks after a separate criminal case charging fmr #FBI Dir #JamesComey with lying to #Congress & investigators the same Federal district, is the latest indication of the #Trump admin’s norm-busting determination to use the law enforcement powers of the DOJ to pursue Trump’s political foes & public figures who once investigated him.

  8. …The move is the latest instance of the #DOJ moving against Trump’s perceived enemies.

    Over the weekend, #Trump urged AG #PamBondi to act quickly in seeking #criminal charges against his longtime nemesis, the fmr #FBI dir #JamesComey & #NYAG #LetitiaJames, who has sued [on behalf of NY] Trump & his businesses for hundreds of millions of dollars.

  9. #Trump said on Friday that he wanted to see the ouster of a #USattorney whose investigations of #NYAG, #LetitiaJames, & fmr #FBI director #JamesComey have not resulted in charges.

    Trump’s comment came after a high-stakes internal debate raged on Friday over the fate of Erik S. Siebert, the US atty for the Eastern District of Virginia — w/Trump’s own appointees at the #DOJ & key Republicans on Capitol Hill arguing to retain the veteran prosecutor.
