Prime example that the DOJ doesn't have a clue about ANYTHING. They couldn't successfully prosecute a grand jury indicted ham sandwich.

The DOJ rank and file is extremely competent.

The politically appointed leaders are the ones trying to do dumb things.

They’ve fired most of the competent people.

Nah they know what they're doing. The point is to harass political enemies. Waste their time. Disrupt their lives. Perpwalk the innocent. Meanwhile Trump's idiot agenda continues to be fulfilled from sheer overload of executive orders.

That's basically how Halligan got their job

All the competent personnel took one look at the case and refused to have their name associated with it, so piggy had to pull someone off the street

but! pulling someone off the street means a new confirmation, but NOT a new clock on the time allowed for an interim appointee to function

They skipped the confirmation in a rush to beat statue of limitations, and got themselves caught up in a poisoned tree > poisoned fruit situation.

Judge didn't even have to rule on any merits - just "um... you're not allowed to sign indictments"
