Challenge to Trump Prosecutor Appointment Threatens James Comey Case Viability

Attorneys for James Comey formally moved to disqualify the prosecutor leading his case based on questionable appointment status, potentially ending the prosecution due to expired statutes of limitation.

Short Summary

  • Challenge precedent exists: Two prior Trump-installed prosecutors were disqualified by district judges.
  • The core legal fight hinges on the Appointments Clause and the legitimacy of interim appointments preceding Senate confirmation.
  • A successful disqualification could terminate the entire indictment if the statute of limitations has already run out.

This discussion centers on the formal motion filed by James Comey’s legal team targeting the legitimacy of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. Experts suggest this attack on process could unravel the case before reaching claims of vindictive prosecution or trial merits.

When i first heard of Trump long ago, he was just a sleazy casino owner who bankrupted his businesses. Now he's destroying America.

The basic idea that a President, any President, gets to stack the deck with judicial appointments is a complete joke to anyone outside the US (that’s not a communist or authoritarian state!)

Just start Disbarring anyone who doesn't recuse themselves when the courts rule that they're ineligible. This is Organized Crime, and if these people with Law Degrees keep supporting Organized Crime, then they're not upholding the Law as they swore to.

I may be wrong, but doesn't this make you want to re-examine past Trump insurance claims for fraud?

I would like to see Lindsey Halligan remain on this case. It would be fun to watch her make mistake after mistake as she fumbles and stumbles her way to verdict of not guilty.
