Trump’s DOJ: Appoint Lawyers Like It’s Musical Chairs
In a dazzling legal circus, James Comey and Letitia James want a federal judge in Virginia to toss their indictments, claiming that Lindsey Halligan—the appointed hit woman with zero prosecutorial experience, who replaced ousted U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert—was an unconstitutional musical chair pick by Trump’s DOJ. Halligan’s 120-day interim U.S. attorney appointment allegedly expired faster than a Kardashian marriage, rendering her grand jury indictments against Comey (charged with Congressional obstruction) and James (bank fraud) about as valid as a coupon for free unicorn rides. Meanwhile, Trump publicly shamed the 'Woke RINO' Siebert in a September Truth Social tirade, demanding more witch hunts, with AG Pam Bondi left awkwardly holding the baton. Prosecutors argue Halligan was just a 'de facto officer' who could be reappointed over and over, ensuring this legal soap opera will drag on faster than your uncle’s conspiracy theories.

When your DOJ picks an interim U.S. attorney with zero experience, and 120 days later says 'oops, time’s up,' but keeps playing legal Whac-A-Mole, you know democracy’s got a real fixer-upper going on.
Trump’s DOJ appointment strategy: pick someone clueless, indict political enemies, hope courts aren’t paying attention. Spoiler alert: They’re paying attention, and skeptical.
Lindsey Halligan’s prosecutorial experience? Zilch. But hey, 120-day appointments are like relationship trial periods—except the breakups end in indictments.
