To lose two cases at once is honestly impressive!
DOJ saved from having to lose Comey case over illegal indictment by losing case over illegal appointment!

... After playing musical chairs with the Eastern District of Virginia’s U.S. Attorney’s Office to find someone — anyone — with a pulse and a JD willing to file frivolous criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and current NY Attorney General Letitia James, the Trump administration braintrust landed on insurance lawyer Lindsey Halligan. Fast forward to today, with Judge Cameron McGowan Currie tossing the prosecutions against both Comey and James without prejudice after deciding that Halligan’s attempt to squat in the office was long on vibes and short on “legal support.”
Judge Currie, the South Carolina senior judge brought in specifically to handle the disqualification motion declared “The Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid,” noting that the 120-day limit on an interim U.S. Attorney appointment had lapsed before Halligan even got her crayon-engraved invitation. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s galaxy brained argument that the administration should be allowed to keep shuffling 120-day appointments indefinitely, ran aground with Judge Currie who pointed out that this would allow the administration “to evade the Senate confirmation process indefinitely by stacking successive 120-day appointments” ...
Halligan went one better than “attorney or not,” by arriving on the “job” as an insurance lawyer from Florida with zero prosecutorial experience. Though the “or not” might well have brought more acumen to the task, since Halligan’s primary accomplishment since she began cosplaying as a U.S. Attorney involved turning in a fake indictment and trying to weasel out of that. In the Comey case, a flustercuck from jump, this dismissal probably concludes the whole ill-conceived crusade, as the claims against his supposed false statements should be time-barred absent Pam Bondi securing a DeLorean and 1.21 gigawatts ...
Choosing Trump’s literal get out of jail free card from Judge Cannon for this proposition was cheeky. And we approve ...
