A challenge for Halligan:

Quote:
Comey’s defense attorneys are likely to argue that Halligan can’t serve as interim US attorney because that position hit its 120 day limit. Also, they may say Halligan’s new role does not appear to fit two exceptions for appointments to such vacancies under the law: She is not Senate confirmed nor is she someone who has been employed in Justice Department for at least 90 days.





Quote:
Ed Whelan, a conservative legal commenter, has been writing in the National Review about why he thinks Halligan, who signed off on Comey’s indictment, doesn’t have prosecutorial authority.

It seems highly doubtful that Lindsey Halligan has been validly appointed as United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia,” Whelan wrote in the National Review recently. “If her appointment is invalid, so is her indictment of Comey.”

Whelan argues that a prior top federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia has essentially timed out in the job, making Halligan unable to serve without the federal court’s or the Senate’s explicit blessing.




Hang on, since when did senior government positions require the courts or Senate confirmation?

Don't you think that's a tad unfair?

I mean, they're unnecessarily political, right?


Apparently they get one bite at the cherry for an interim US attorney and that was the guy that was sacked also that position times out after 120 days which has now also passed. After that a permanent US attorney needs to be appointed by the senate. There is no process for appointing a second interim US attorney.

It's not a legitimate appointment and she was the only one to sign the Comey sham charges which makes them invalid, She also signed the Letitia James sham charges.

I know, but that's rideculous, yes?

Shurely a prez has the right to appoint one of his insurance attorneys as a US attorney to go after some Republican hack. I mean, this has all been decided. It's in the Constitution for heaven's sake.

Look, don't quote me on that, I'm just saying.

So, so unfair.

Comey being indicted bodes badly for the USA.

the left should never have started the lawfare.

It is now in a feedback loop.

If newsom wins in 2028 there will be more of it.

And them if Ron d wins in 2032 it goes up again.

It was extremely foolish of the left to come after Trump.

He was off social media and finished.

But their stupid charges revitalised him.

They have no one to blame but themselves

They didn't.

Trump and his cronies broke the law, and the law finally caught up with them.

Targeting Comey, however, is lawfare. Trump opened that door, and frankly, I hope the Democrats kick it off its hinges.

Nixon may have dodged prison, but his Attorney-General didn't. There's an entire ecosystem of loyalists running interference for Trump, from Pam Bondi trying to pirouette around the truth under oath in her recent committee appearance, right down to the rank-and-file ICE agents blindly carrying out unlawful directives. The law will catch up with them as well, and rightly so.

Trump was never a "victim".  Just because you don't like those you're devoted to facing consequences for their actions, doesn't make them victims.

It just makes you a partisan hack.

Nah.

You need to read Harvey silvergates excellent work" 3 felonies a day"

He points out that US law is so complicated with so many regulations that you can pin 3 felonies on just about anyone.


Trump was targeted for data on a loan application which he paid back in full and which the bank had no issue with.

The left started this cycle and it is now a feedback loop.

Exactly.

Trump is a career criminal and the law finally caught up to him.

To call it lawfare is extremely ignorant.

There was nothing political about his 34 criminal convictions.

If these have been witch hunts the only logical conclusion would be that Donald has proven to be a witch. Hard to rule it out.

In the 15th century 45,000 people with Orange / Red hair were burned as witches ? Orange hair is a sign of witchcraft.

He probably has a moral duty to administer a lesson to the left for starting lawfare.

Note Trump DID NOT
go after Hilary in terms 1.

But the left started the lawfare with the 34 charges ( F ME) so Donny has to see this as a teachable moment. Wink

You're not wrong there, Aquascoot. Harvey was right on the money.

The average professional wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague.

The average professional eats his breakfast, kisses his wife goodbye, then heads off to work to steal a presidential election.

After he gets to work, he tells the Georgia Secretary of State to find him 11,780 extra votes ("which is one more than we have"), orders the Attorney General to announce evidence of widespread election fraud, fires the Attorney General when he's told that's a crime, sends forged electoral certificates from seven states to be counted in the Senate, threatens the Vice President to declare him the winner, tells a mob armed with tasers, cattle prods and flag poles to march to the Capitol and go wild, watches them doing their job on BREAKING live-streamed TV, throws his lunch on the wall, then returns home with 13,000 classified government records to be stashed in the little wifey's panty drawers, before heading off to bed and to sleep, blissfully unaware.

I mean, look, the law is so complicated, how could anyone possibly know this could all be illegal?

US prosecutors really need to show a little more understanding, no?

Oh, I know. He merely demanded Republicans on the House judiciary and oversight panels go back over the old FBI investigation and find more. When that proved fruitless, he told his first Attorney General to come up with something. When that got ignored, he ordered his second Attorney General to do a full-scale investigation. On and on he went, posting endless 3am tweets warning Hillary to lawyer up, demanding the fake news do their job and find Hillary's emails, telling them evidence was about to be released - BREAKING. He even had perfect calls with newly-elected foreign presidents like Zalensky, asking Z to do him a favor and investigate that Crowdstrike thing, the latest conspiracy theory that Hillary's private emails were archived on Russian and Ukrainian IP servers.

He even asked Vlad to have a look, do you remember? Vlad was the guy who hacked into the DNC servers and released their emails to begin with, so it was a wise move. Chain of custody is no big deal to a guy like the big fella. The Superior Man knows he has to cut a corner or two. Where would we be if Caesar hadn't crossed the Rubicon? 

Hillary took it all on the chin, as you do. No doubt, she treasured their old friendship, savouring memories of having the big fella over for various social events such as Chelsea's wedding party. She looked back fondly on all those nice tweets the big fella used to post, saying what a great friendship they had. Good times, no?

You're right, of course. The big fella would love to be nice, I'm sure. But how can he when the left are so evil?

As ever, they only have themselves to blame.

WITCH HUNT !!!

Yes, but I think Aquascoot's suggesting you could learn a thing or two yourself, Sad.

Leftards like Comey and John Bolton aren't the only ones who need re-educating, it's all of you.

As Aquascoot informed us, the big fella welcomed a lengthy jail sentence himself. It would have given him the chance to read Nietzsche, lose a few pounds and work on his pecs. You can't get enough self improvement, Aquascoot said, Donnie knows that.

Look, you do the crime you do the time. If the leftards are so weak they can't take a stint in the big house, they shouldn't have annoyed the big fella to begin with.

Too bad so sad. The big fella had a choice: jail or the White House.

Thank heavens he chose the latter, no?

Now he can bring on the pain.

You don't need to manufacture felonies for Trump, the bloke hands them out like party favours. He's been at it his whole life.

He's weaponised the legal system for decades to dodge consequences, but now that it's finally catching up to him, you're throwing a tantrum. Like every other glass-jawed reactionary, you can't handle accountability, so you go hunting for a scapegoat. It could never be him, and it sure as hell could never be you, because that would require a shred of introspection.

So the precious little victim routine rolls on...
