Federal Judges Battle DOJ Over Unauthorized Lawyer Cameos on Court Docs

KEY POINTS

•Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as U.S. Attorney was ruled invalid by a federal judge last month.
•Despite this, she continued to appear on court documents, leading Virginia judges to remove her name.
•Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche condemned judges and promised to appeal cases involving Comey and Letitia James.

In a courtroom soap opera worthy of a daytime Emmy, U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan refuses to exit stage left despite a federal judge declaring her appointment illegal last month. The Eastern District of Virginia judges have tired of her unauthorized cameos, with one angrily removing her name from filings and another declaring that charging papers bearing her signature are 'simply not acceptable.' DOJ heavyweights Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, who recently declared a full-blown 'war' against 'rogue' judges with different political views, doubled down on Halligan’s casting. Meanwhile, Halligan’s cases against FBI’s James Comey and NY Attorney General Letitia James remain tossed but under fierce appeal — because nothing says 'legit' like performing a courtroom comeback tour after being officially booted.

Nothing screams 'rule of law' like an illegal U.S. Attorney ghostwriting charges and the DOJ calling judges 'rogues' for commenting she's not actually hired.
