A federal judge gave New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey a bit of a reprieve when he threw out the Justice Department’s indictments against them.
But this does not mean they will get off scot-free.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie on Monday dismissed the indictments against the two individuals after determining that the appointment of Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not valid. He argued that after an interim U.S. attorney’s term expires, it is up to the district court to appoint a replacement. In Halligan’s case, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed her instead of the court.
🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: A federal judge has dismissed the indictments against both James Comey AND Letitia James
Not because their cases lack merit — but because of “PROCEDURAL ISSUES”
TOTAL BS. Luckily, they can both be indicted AGAIN, because the indictments were dismissed… pic.twitter.com/bO1npsR0Sj
