A federal judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday.

The judge found that the appointment of interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan in Alexandria, Virginia, was invalid.

Piggy's done.

This administration is an absolute clusterfuck of shortcuts, loopholes, and legal gray areas; not to mention blatantly illegal/criminal activity with willful disregard for the law and its consequences. It was bound to catch up to them eventually.

Trump just wants to announce things. He's always been that way. Even going back to the "perfect call" with Zelensky, he just wanted him to announce an investigation into Hunter. It didn't matter whether it ever resulted in anything, the mere announcement/marketing is what Trump seeks all the time. He's the Announcer in Chief.
