Glad to hear how so. Halligan wasn't legally authorized to sign the indictment. That mistake cannot be cured because a defective indictment does not stop the clock on the runnig of the statute of limitations.

As everyone acknowledged, the indictment was rushed because the statute of limitations on the last chargeable criminal act by Comey expired on 9/30/25.

Case closed.

The Court has already set the deadline for dispositive motions for less than two weeks from now.
...and no calls for recusal yesterday. Well that settles it.

that's not a link, that's a screen capture hank, the link provided in the op tells me page not found.


The screen capture was to show that you were lying about the article not being up on the National Review website...note today's date.

Here's the link to Ed Whelan's article which, of course, still works.

So, do you want to admit you were wrong or just continue to lie?

The whole point is that Halligan was NOT legally authorized to sign an indictment because her appointment was invalid.


Who wants to tell him about the entire illegitimate Biden-Harris criminal usurpation?

NC, this doesn't apply to you, because you are reasonable and responsive, but I need to quit wasting time on proving my arguments through statutes which few bother to read.

Yes, I think the fact that the prosecution didn't even mention recusal at yesterday's scheduling discussion is significant because (AI reponse):

In federal court, a motion for recusal must be filed “at the earliest possible moment” after the facts leading to a potential disqualification are known to the moving party.

I am quite aware of all the criminal usurpation from Dems and have railed against it here. Unlike most here, I am completely pro-Trump politically AND want the law interpreted and applied as it is written...irrespective of who it helps or hurts.

I'm sorry that Trump 1.0 didn't have a DOJ with the balls to take down the entrenched Democrat deep state actors. Unfortunately, this time around, I am not sure Trump 2.0 has the legal talent to do ALL of the heavy lifting against the Democrats.

I like what I see in the Judge Dugan prosecution in Milwaukee. The Comey prosecution is off to a horrible start (would love to be wrong about that). Maybe other things will pick up, but I am now skeptical watching how this first big case will unravel.

I apologize for calling you a liar. Others have confirmed that they get a 404 response for that link, but it still works for me.

the previous US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was serving as an interim appointment by the Attorney General under one provision of the law. That law said that his successor had to be appointed by the judges of the EDVA.


That is not what the law says. The law says that the AG can appoint an interim USDA for a period of 120 days. If after 120 days there is no SEnate confirmation the District Court can appoint an interim USDA. But the Court only gets that power if an interim has served for 120 days. In this case that did not happen. Trump fired the USDA before that term was up. That allowed Bondi to appoint Halligan.
I know people have dug up an OLC memo that Alito wrote saying such action would go against congressional intent, but there have been other opinions sayin it complies with the law. More importantly, perhaps, is the fact that such appointments are relatively routine.

Based on its preliminary analysis of data obtained from the Jus
tice Department and secondary sources, the Congressional Re
search Service (‘‘CRS’’) has made several significant findings. First,
it identified several instances where the Attorney General made
successive interim appointments pursuant to section 546 of either
the same or different individuals. For example, one individual re
ceived a total of four successive interim appointments.
