Episode notes
Appointment Technicality Toppled Cases
- Both prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James were dismissed because the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully appointed.
- The judge warned allowing such appointments would let any private citizen be sent to a grand jury with after-the-fact approval, undermining Senate confirmation.
Dismissal Is Procedural, Not Substantive
- The White House says the factual allegations remain unchanged and plans to continue pursuing charges despite the dismissals.
- Legal experts note this defeat is procedural, not a judgment on the merits, so cases could be refiled if appointments are corrected.
Speed And Statutes Shaped The Push
- The rushed appointment followed a rapid resignation after an alleged declination memo and an urgent push before statutes lapsed.
- Comey's team point to statute-of-limitations timing as another barrier to re-indictment even if a prosecutor is properly appointed.
