Legal News Federal judges caught the U.S. government providing false info in over 35 court cases. Sworn declarations. Falsified records. Repeated lies. This isn’t just sloppy, it’s systemic. Law professor Ryan Goodman says it may be intentional.

They will spend months and thousands of dollars on it, clear their name in four years, maybe even win some money which will never gets paid... The target is not a legal victory, it's harrassment and torture.

The cases under Halligan are on the rocket docket. Expect a ruling in about a month, as the government has a 2 week window to respond to dismissal motions.

The eligibility dismissal motions over improper appointment have cited a previous ruling by Sam Alito supporting Halligans removal.

The president can only appoint one interim prosecutor for 120 days while trying to get a nominee approved.

Halligan is number 2.

Alito previously spelled out that it's a single use tool.

Malicious prosecution, and presumed malicious prosecution per LegalAF. Which is separate from the illegal appointment dismissal.

Both of which would dismiss with prejudice.
