The White House has responded after a federal judge dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James without prejudice on Monday.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie found that Lindsey Halligan had been appointed as interim U.S. Attorney just two days before Comey's case with no prior prosecutorial experience. Her disqualification renders her actions, including the signing of the indictments, legally invalid.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday afternoon that the DOJ will appeal the dismissal of the indictments, stating, "Lindsey Halligan was legally appointed ... the Department of Justice will be appealing very soon. It is our position that Lindsey Halligan is extremely qualified for this position, but more importantly, was legally appointed to it."

Why It Matters

The rulings by U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie pause, for now, two prosecutions aimed at two of the president’s most prominent political adversaries and deliver a sharp rebuke to the Trump administration’s effort to install a loyal, inexperienced prosecutor to bring the charges.

1. Lindsey Halligan is extremely qualified for this position

Said the rapidly aging carolyin levitt. So will lindsay soon get your position MS carolyin? You have observed by now that qualifications for a job are irrelevant in his administration. Just slavish, incredibly embarrassing blind loyalty.

2. L(oser)) Halligone has a new position in DOJ

‘Special prosecutor’ in which she will pursue indictments against James and Comey per PBS Newshour broadcast this evening

3. If they do that

then they have to drop their crap arguments attempting to disqualify Jack Smith.

What a bind!

4. That would be an admission that she wasn't legally appointed

And the statute of limitations will have run out on Comey.

5. I think they said

They would be seeking different charges on Comey

6. Good - stand by your woman Donald. All the defense attorneys look forward to

kicking her pretty little butt all over the courtroom. You just show us all and double down on your incompetent pick to achieve your revenge. We all
know that Trump isn't bright but sometimes his stupidity takes my breath away.

7. He only hires the best people(lawyers).

9. My hope is

All the R's involved end up causing each other lengthy prison sentences, or at least the loss of their reputation and career , good stuff, also just read that a few more House R's may follow MTG into early retirement soon, best Monday I can remember in a while

10. Bring it, Doosh-Wits

Let's see if we can beat the time it took to dismiss next time around.
