A legal watchdog group is pushing the state bars of Florida and Virginia to investigate Lindsey Halligan, a Trump appointee who is leading the prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The complaint from the Campaign for Accountability, which was submitted to the state bars on Tuesday, accuses Halligan of violating the Virginia State Bar’s ethical rules for lawyers in her handling of the criminal charges against Comey and James, two longtime foes of Donald Trump.

“Ms. Halligan’s actions appear to constitute an abuse of power and serve to undermine the integrity of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and erode public confidence in the legal profession and the fair administration of justice,” the 17-page complaint reads.

    Uh, she has no experience as a prosecutor before this. Of course she has no clue how to operate legally. She was never qualified in the first place. Her role was as a pawn to prosecute enemies of king Trump and providing for her convenient disposal as a used napkin when she outlives her usefulness to the king.
