A federal judge dismissed the Virginia criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, finding that interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed to her position and “had no lawful authority” to secure indictments of either of President Trump’s longtime adversaries.
The humiliating defeat for the administration came 11 days after attorneys for both Comey and James had argued that Halligan had to be confirmed by the Senate after Attorney General Pam Bondi used up her allotted 120-day interim appointment on Erik Siebert, who resigned Sept. 19 after Trump publicly criticized him for not bringing charges against the former head of the FBI.
After Siebert’s departure, Comey’s attorneys argued, the judges of the federal court district should have had exclusive say over who got to fill the vacancy. Instead, Trump nominated Halligan while publicly imploring Bondi in a social media post to take action against Comey, James and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), saying in a Sept. 20 Truth Social post that “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
Both indictments were dismissed without prejudice, which typically means that the cases can be brought again. Both defendants had asked that the cases be thrown out with prejudice, preventing them from being reopened.
However, the ruling by senior US District Judge Cameron Currie...

Breaking?
How many times is this going to be posted? It is only enraging people because justice is not being served and we CAN NOT DO ANYTHING LEGAL ABOUT IT!!!! STOP!!!
This is NOT over!!
It may become a somewhat Pyrrhic victory when all is said, done and sued.
**Pyrrhic Victory: A victory gained at such a cost to the victor that in the long run, it is tantamount to defeat.
Again? What, once a day?
I believe Judges in "senior" status can preside anywhere they are deemed needed. Sort of a PRN ("as needed") judge where dockets may be crowded.
Former SCOTUS judges in senior status who retired from the SCOTUS would sit on 3 judge panels to hear cases in Circuit Courts of Appeal.
Dismissed...without prejudice.
Try again. This ain’t over yet.
RE: posting again....
Alright with me to keep the yuge anger cauldron boiling and stirred by those of us who yearn for justice to be done someday.
At one time I thought that Justice would be done. Then I faced reality and realized that it would not. Until The Great White Throne Judgment on Judgement Day. Then and only then will Bill and Hillary fact judgement. It would not surprise me if they are still living because they are too wicked and evil to die.
LOL. Well said.
True. That justice is final beyond our wimpy court system.
As to the evil Bill and Hillary arrogantly laughing off their earthly crimes, they may be too wicked and evil to die as you say.
Tom Selleck in a Louis L’Amour Sacketts movie made it through a gauntlet of gunmen with his loyal friend played by Ben Jonson who got shot up including a bad leg wound.
Woman: “Is he gonna die?”
Selleck (spitting tobacco first) “Naw, he ain’t gonna die. He’s too damn mean.”
Big deal. Assign another prosecutor and do it all over again. It never went to trial so it won’t be double jeopardy.

Comey’s case is outside the statute of limitations. I hope the judge’s ruling in James’ case is appealed and overturned and it proceeds.
Again? What, once a day?
In the words of the old country song, once a day, everyday, all day long.......just heard the appeal is forthcoming and MAYBE Judge Jeannine will be the prosecutor! YES!!!!
This is outrageous and should not happen. Impeach this judge.
Do you mean this is the end of it?. Can’t this be appealed or something?.
He was indicted. Statute is no longer an issue, just a procedural problem with how the indictment was pursued. So there’s probably a time limit on how long they can do it over, but that’s it.
