Judge dismisses James Comey and Letitia James cases, finding prosecutor's appointment invalid​

Washington — A federal judge on Monday ordered the criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James to be dismissed on the grounds that Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney who secured their indictments, was unlawfully appointed to the role.​

​

The rulings from U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie are a significant victory for Comey and James, who both argued their prosecutions are retaliatory and motivated by President Trump's efforts to punish his political foes.​

​

"I conclude that all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan's defective appointment, including securing and signing Mr. Comey's indictment, constitute unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside," Currie wrote in her opinion in the Comey case, a line that she repeated in her ruling in the James case.​

​

Currie ordered the indictments to be dismissed without prejudice, which would allow prosecutors to seek charges again. She suggested that prosecutors could not seek a new indictment in Comey's case since the statute of limitations for the offenses expired at the end of September.​

Don't cheer too quickly -

That progressive liberal judge doesn't know the facts. She made a political decision instead of a lawful decision.

Looks like game over to me. I'm sure there are still some good political targets for Trump to throw lawyers at.

Bold of you to assume a judge doesn’t know how the law applies to these cases.

Karoline Leavitt is paid to lie for Trump and defend all things Trump. Anything out of her mouth should be immediately dismissed as false.

You could not be more incorrect if you tried.

I am not incorrect. I will, though, give her credit for being highly talented at what she does, though I suspect it will wear on her before 4 years are up. Trump press secretaries rend to burn out.

I know what I see and hear. I can’t stomach listening to her anymore.

She isn't a lawyer, much less a judge, so I'll trust the JD over the BA in Communications when it comes to interpreting the law.
