Justice Dept. weighs appeal options after judge tosses Comey, James cases

A federal judge dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI director James B. Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, delivering an emphatic blow to President Donald Trump’s rushed efforts to engineer prosecutions of two of his prominent foes.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor overseeing both cases, had been unlawfully appointed as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and, therefore, indictments she single-handedly secured against Comey and James must be thrown out.

None of that is surprising. When even NPR, at the time, commented that the prosecution had gone through so many legal acrobatics just to find him guilty on anything, it was always clear that any convictions were going to be overturned on appeal. It's definitely something that was properly classified as lawfare - the only goal was to have a conviction before the election, no matter the actual legality of it all. In the end, it didn't even work.

...well there's a word that was very popular around here until about ten months ago.

You’re so aware of the intricacies of the trial you knew the judge was really a female.

No, both sexes display TDS…

the accuser would be the one that had visions of being raped

.....yes, the Trump Decomposition Syndrome appears to be advancing rapidly.

Word is that his diapers have been reinforced with steel bands to keep him in one place. I don't know if that's true but many people are saying...

Appeals court upholds $1M penalty against Trump in lawsuit against Hillary Clinton

A federal appeals court has upheld a penalty of nearly $1 million against President Donald Trump and attorney Alina Habba, concluding they committed “sanctionable conduct” by filing a frivolous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey.

“Many of Trump’s and Habba’s legal arguments were indeed frivolous,” 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge William Pryor Jr. wrote for a unanimous, three-judge panel, including Trump appointee Andrew Brasher and Biden appointee Embry Kidd.
...
The ruling is the latest rejection of Trump’s legal crusade against his perceived adversaries, and the second rebuke by the 11th Circuit in recent days. Last week, a different panel — which included two Trump appointees — shot down Trump’s effort to revive a lawsuit against CNN over its use of the term “Big Lie” to describe his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
...
Pryor’s 36-page opinion called Trump’s lawsuit an “abuse of judicial resources.” It echoed the skeptical questions the panel had for Trump’s attorney during oral arguments last week.

Losers lose, it’s what they do.
