Lindsey Halligan, the new US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, has no experience as a prosecutor.
The US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia is one of the most significant positions in the Department of Justice.
Erik Siebert, the federal prosecutor whom President Donald Trump pushed out Friday for declining to prosecute his political enemies, had extensive experience. He is listed as an attorney on 675 federal cases. His replacement, Lindsey Halligan, a 36-year-old former Florida insurance lawyer, has worked on only three.
But for an administration in which loyalty reigns supreme, what matters is whom Halligan represented in each of those federal cases: Trump.
Another incompetent yes-man.
I am shocked. Shocked I say!
I remember learning about dictatorships in class. This topic will not be covered for future generations.
I’m more optimistic. Eventually it will again. I don’t know how long, but dictatorships don’t last forever. The topic will be covered in the future, and our time will be in it.
Going to keep saying this so people understand this a bit better, because as stupid, unqualified and horrible these people are, it works in the best interest for resistance:
- These people are continually showing up to court and flubbing everything
- They’re unable to even get warrants or indictments for these dumbshit crimes and claims they put forth
- They are being admonished by judges no matter their political leanings or appointments
- Everytime they do some dumb shit, it’s all over the news
The hope that the last line of defense being the legal system to an attempt at an authoritarian coup is working. Let them keep digging at the bottom of the barrel all they want, because these assclowns have no idea how any of this works, and that’s good for everyone else.
I see what you mean and your cautious optimism is mostly justified BUT then there’s judges like Aileen Cannon who are the perfect storm of incompetence, corruption, and endless patience towards the side they want to win.
A combination that unfortunately for humanity is becoming quite common 😮💨
Talking specifically about this revenge play.
Anything these fuckers want to do with Comey or others regarding bogus charges like “lying to Congress” require a Grand Jury in DC. The six total attempts to convene said jury and get indictments have failed. People read the news and they know what’s up.
Now if Trump wants to try and shop some shit around to Aileen Cannon or friendly judges, they need it to happen in Florida or Texas. That means whatever charges they are trying to bring relate to either stage, and none of these revenge plays apply.
The mortgage bullshit just won’t happen. It’s got to be DC or the state where it applied, so in James’ case, NY, and NOBODY is going for that shit.
The issue is, the more of the federal government he replaces, the less people/institutions there are to block him.
This only works for so long.
Honestly I’m glad it’s not somebody competent.
They’ll put some smart people behind her. She’s a fall-guy for when it all goes south. They always need a patsy.
I don’t know, I think that’s the point. The goal being to appeal up to a court they own or up to the SC.
Unqualified?!
Have you seen her body?!
Ohhh baby. SO qualified, amirite.
Also, isn’t it so great this administration respects white blond attractive-enough women?
Yes-woman, please!
A blonde lady who might pass as attractive if she had a soul? Who could have imagined?!?
Job requirements for working with the orange Hitler:
1.) Be loyal to the fascist administration
2.) No Morals/Ethics or other woke things that make you a civilized human being
3.) For women: be somewhat attractive
4.) Everything else is optional as long as it doesn’t interfere with 1.-3.)
Addendum to 3.) *with blond hair
Does he hire every blonde woman that he wants to fuck? Seems that’s all he surrounds himself with
I’m surprised that Noem hasn’t dyed hers yet.
Obviously yes
You know I’m just now starting to suspect that this administration might be incompetent…
That’s probably OK. It’s not like we have a legal system anymore. It’s not really based on anything.
drain the swamp
But she’s white’s and blonde! Surely that counts!
Perfectly qualified to say yes to whatever trump wants.
</qualifications>
They’re evil. Fortunately, they’re also really dumb.
Which isn’t a coincidence. Fascism selects for loyalty to the leader first and competence a very distant second.
