Comey Motion Seeks Dismissal of Indictment Citing Alito’s 1984 Memo on Appointment Powers

Learn how James Comey's legal team is using a 1986 memo written by Samuel Alito, claiming Lindsey Halligan's appointment violates federal statute, potentially invalidating the indictment.

Short Summary

  • The motion demands dismissal with prejudice, arguing prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA).
  • The legal challenge hinges on the Vacancy Reform Act (28 USC 546) which allegedly permits only one temporary appointment under specific conditions.
  • Crucially, Comey's lawyers cite a 1986 memo authored by then-DOJ lawyer Samuel Alito supporting this "single-use statute" interpretation.

Michael Popok breaks down the lawsuit, explaining how Trump's attempt to bypass confirmation rules via the Attorney General resulted in a defectively appointed officer, whose actions may therefore be voided by the court.
