Missing Grand Jury Transcript Is Crucial
- Missing two hours of grand jury transcript raises serious doubts about what Lindsey Halligan told jurors.
- Judge Curry pressed that absence as central to whether Pam Bondi could validly ratify Halligan's actions.
Legal Basis: Vacancy Reform Act Challenge
- Plaintiffs argued Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed under the Vacancy Reform Act (Section 546).
- If true, the appointment chain would shift selection to district judges until a Senate-confirmed U.S. attorney is in place.
Bondi's Backdated Memo Faces Scrutiny
- Pam Bondi's backdated October 31 memo attempted to ratify Lindsey Halligan as a special attorney after the fact.
- Judge Curry questioned how Bondi could ratify acts she could not have known about without a complete grand jury record.
