Interim US Atty,"Lindsey Halligan fires more prosecutors in key US attorney’s office".

 

"Halligan has moved quickly to assert her authority over the office, with several recent firings and departures, and she has become personally involved in courtroom proceedings — which is unusual for a US attorney —in the recent indictments of Trump foes James Comey and Letitia James".

More:

"Cleary sided with career prosecutors who opposed bringing the Comey case. She sat in a back row, not at the government table, when Halligan presented the indictment from the grand jury before the magistrate judge".

 

It appears that Ms. Halligan is dropping the hammer on loyalist of DOJ past. A worthy effort  trying to get Reasonable Prosecutors now a days.

The story is based on a CNN report

From the same source:

 

Comey's Son in law resigned ,a career prosecutor. A smart decision on his part and another disgruntled  career prosecutor left a parting shot taped to his door after being fired. It looks to me he was bitter. Trumps DOJ team is doing a hell of a job on national & domestic security. 

 

"Two other career prosecutors, Michael Ben’Ary and Maya Song, were fired in the aftermath of Halligan charging Comey. Comey’s son-in-law Troy Edwards Jr., who was a career prosecutor in the office, also resigned".

 

"Justice Department “leadership is more concerned with punishing the President’s perceived enemies than they are with protecting our national security,” Ben’Ary wrote in a note he taped to the door of his former office when he left two weeks ago".

Halligan seems to be doing a good job.

When (assistant Federal Prosecutor) Mr. Lemons rose to provide his own presentation, the judge seemed less susceptible to his arguments.

He said, for instance, that Ms. Halligan — who was no “puppet,” he insisted — had made her own evaluation of the case and came to a decision to charge Mr. Comey regardless of the pressure brought on her by Mr. Trump.

Judge Nachmanoff appeared skeptical of that assertion, reminding Mr. Lemons that Ms. Halligan had sought the indictment days * after taking the job of U.S. attorney. That, the judge went on, did not give her much time for deliberation.

 

* Within four days of taking the post, Ms. Halligan presented the charges to the grand jury — by herself and for her very first time — and came out with an indictment

Fitzpatrick also said Halligan, who had never prosecuted a case prior to Comey’s, appeared to make two “fundamental misstatements of law” to the grand jury that could jeopardize the indictment altogether.

 

He said Halligan, facing tough questions from grand jurors, appeared to suggest Comey might have to testify at trial to explain his innocence, an improper characterization of the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

Fitzpatrick also said Halligan appeared to improperly suggest grand jurors could assume the government had more evidence against Comey than what it presented to them.

In fact the judge did not assert that Halligan was a puppet. 

District Judge Michael Nachmanoff asked Comey’s defense lawyer if he thought Halligan, the prosecutor who brought the indictment against the former FBI boss, was acting as a “puppet” or “stalking horse” of the commander in chief, during a hearing in an Alexandria, Va., courtroom...

In response to Nachmanoff, Comey’s attorney, Michael Dreeben, declined to call Halligan a “puppet” but argued the prosecutor “did what she was told,” according to the New York Times.

The person in charge of the grand jury said they followed the rules exactly, the jurors voted yes on two charges against Comey for lying to Congress, no on a third charge, and split them up the right way,so the defense can’t claim anything shady happened.

DOJ Reverses Itself, Says Comey Grand Jury Saw Final Indictment

 

The prosecutor hand-picked by President Donald Trump to pursue a criminal case against James Comey now says the indictment of the former FBI director was properly presented to a grand jury for a vote — a day after telling a judge the final version of the charging papers was never shown to the full jury.

 

But lawyers for Comey said in their own filing Thursday that multiple irregularities in how the indictment was handled provide for a basis for the judge to dismiss it “based on the government’s misconduct.”

“The litany of errors that have surfaced just in the last week warrants close inspection” of Halligan’s conduct in the case, Comey’s attorneys wrote.

___________________________

From the intro to team Comey's response to the Halligan filing as first reference in the NY Post link above:

 

The government’s misconduct in its quest to indict Mr. Comey shocks the conscience.

 

The government conducted a warrantless search of privileged materials that no reasonable agent or prosecutor would conduct. It used those materials to present this case to the grand jury, and in so doing it magnified its violation of Mr. Comey’s rights. It misstated basic principles of constitutional law to influence the grand jury. And it appears not to have presented any of the significant exculpatory evidence in this case.

 

What is more, the government has now conceded that it did not even present the operative indictment to the grand jury, meaning no indictment was returned before the statute of limitations expired
 

 

 

Jim Comey lied  and got caught ,tried to get out of it with a  Judge who was confused  on the details. 

https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-halligan-slam-judge-comey-case-hearing/story?id=127709589

 

 

Nice Try Jim but no cigar,

If Comey's team pushes back, it'll play out in court, but right now, the indictment stands.

Comey seeks to dismiss charges, alleging "fundamental errors" before grand jury

November 21, 2025 / 6:08 PM EST / CBS News

 

Prosecutors attempted to clear up confusion about the proceedings and, pointing to the transcript of proceedings when the indictment was returned, wrote in a filing Thursday that the foreperson told the court that the grand jury voted on the two-count indictment.

 

"The complete record eliminates any doubt: The foreperson confirmed the vote. The Court acknowledged the vote. The Court docketed the two-count true bill as the operative indictment. Only Count One lacked concurrence; Counts Two and Three were true-billed by at least twelve jurors," they said. 

 

But in their latest bid to dismiss the charges related to the alleged grand-jury issues, Comey's lawyers argued that "there is no record of the grand jury seeing the new indictment — let alone voting on it." Prosecutors' "late-breaking" effort to correct the record "cannot save the putative indictment," they continued.

 

Their filing, defense lawyers said, "contradicts numerous other representations that the government has made to this Court. And it rests on an erroneous overreading of an ambiguous exchange between the grand jury foreperson and the magistrate judge."

Just another instance of Trump's tendency to always pick from the bottom of the barrel, and never hire based on talent or the appropriate level of experience. It's always about loyalty and fealty and never about the ability to perform the required task properly.

Well Mr. Spider there is quite a bit of that but -- like Rubio, Blanche, and maybe others -- they are competent but have been willing to become tabula rasa to do whatever Trump wants them to do.

I was watching Megyn Kelly a former lawyer & her panel of legal  experts . Comey is attacking the 4 corners of the indictments. Kelly said she got reliable sources that this is all gonna be cured. If you cant win on the facts you attack the prosecutor ,the judge has issues ( judge asks the defense if the prosecutor is a Puppet).

Google ai Overview:

 

"As of late November 2025, James Comey has been indicted on two federal charges, and while his legal team is attempting to have the case dismissed, the indictment technically stands for now. The validity of the indictment is currently a central issue in the case".

The problem with this video is the same one that has plagued the indictment from the start. Comey replied to a question from Ted Cruz about whether he authorized Andrew McCabe to leak. Which Comey denied. But the prosecution in its push for inidictment made it about Daniel Richman instead. Which is a lie.

James Comey asks for his indictment be dismissed over Lindsey Halligan’s grand jury revelation

 

Updated Nov 22, 2025
 

Attorneys for former FBI Director James Comey are asking a federal judge to dismiss the charges against him because, they say, a grand jury never approved the final indictment in the case.

 

The motion to dismiss comes after prosecutors, including interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan, said in court this week that the indictment — which omitted a count that the grand jury rejected — was not seen in its final form by all grand jurors.

 

“The grand jury voted to reject the only indictment that the government presented to it,” Comey’s attorneys wrote in Friday’s filing. “Instead of presenting the grand jury with a revised indictment, Ms. Halligan signed a new two count indictment that the grand jury had never seen or voted on.”

 

Comey’s team is asking the judge to toss the case by as soon as Monday because of the “flagrant nature of the government’s misconduct during the grand jury process.”

“Because at least 12 jurors did not ‘approve the actual indictment,’ there is no valid indictment of Mr. Comey,” defense attorneys said in their filing Friday

 I've read Andrew McCarthy on this. He's been very critical of the halligan prosecution. But he thinks that because those two indictments were originally present in the document that was approved by the jurors, the judge will probably rule that it's okay. It's a mark of their incompetence, but it doesn't rise to the level of disqualification is how he puts it.

 The disgraced darling of the left is  Not off the hook yet , James Comey.
