  1. 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?

  5. 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.

  9. 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.
