Statutory Mechanics of Interim U.S. Attorney Appointments

The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James were both dismissed, without prejudice, on the grounds that former insurance attorney Lindsey Halligan was never properly appointed as an interim US Attorney. Trump’s Justice Department has options, and we talk through them. That conversation is for free listeners. For paid subscribers this week, we also address:

* A rare favorable ruling for the Trump administration from Judge James Boasberg.

* Eric Swalwell’s lawsuit against Bill Pulte

* Peter Skandalakis’s tortured-but-ultimately-convincing, argument that the Georgia RICO case is terminal and should be taken off life support.

* Megan Thee Stallion’s “big” ($59,000) win in her defamation lawsuit against a live-streamer

* Probation for Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, and

* A sharply-worded minute order from Judge Amy Berman Jackson trying to ensure that she won’t be the only long-suffering person around these parts.
