Judge issues ruling protecting Democrats James Comey and Letitia James from DOJ prosecutions
A federal judge has issued a ruling protecting Democrats James Comey and Letitia James from prosecution for now.
Comey, the ex-FBI chief, played a massive role in the Democrats’ lawfare against President Trump, and was indicted for lying to Congress. James, who brought a fraud case against Trump’s companies, obtained a half billion dollar judgment, then saw it tossed for being unconstitutional, was accused of mortgage fraud for lying on legal documents.
It was Cameron Currie, a South Carolina judge, who dismissed both cases that were being prosecuted by interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.
“I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid,” the judge wrote. “And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey’s motion and dismiss the indictment without prejudice.”
Cases dismissed without prejudice ordinarily can be refiled, and the Department of Justice has the option to appeal the ruling from the judge at the entry level of the federal court system.
Currie, appointed by Bill Clinton, and was brought into the Virginia disputes because they were a conflict for judges in that state.
The cases ended up being consolidated.
A DOJ lawyer had said if there was a mistake, it was no more than “at best a paperwork error.”
