Trump’s Handpicked No-Pro Barista Flunks DOJ Latte Art
KEY POINTS
- •Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed cases against James Comey and Letitia James on Monday, citing an invalid appointment.
- •Trump replaced U.S. attorney Erik Siebert with Lindsey Halligan, who lacked prosecution experience but was aligned with Trump.
- •Comey faces charges of lying to Congress and obstruction related to a 2020 hearing but pleaded not guilty.
- •Letitia James was charged with bank fraud and false statements but called the case baseless and remains fearless.
In a courtroom blockbuster this Monday, Senior Judge Cameron McGowan Currie kicked out DOJ’s cases against ex-FBI boss James Comey and NY’s Attorney General Letitia James, slamming the ‘invalid appointment’ of Trump’s chosen DOJ newbie prosecutor Lindsey Halligan—who apparently skipped the criminal trial experience but aced being Trump’s loyal sidekick. Comey, charged with 2020 perjury and obstruction, pleaded not guilty, warning Trump might try again like an angry ex on rewind. Meanwhile, James faced bank fraud claims she called 'baseless,' thanked her praying fans, and stayed 'fearless.' White House still claims Halligan’s legit, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt shouting on Fox that this judge’s dismissal was just a technical boo-boo they're appealing 'very soon.' Also, bonus drama: Trump booted the previous U.S. attorney who couldn’t get Comey or James nailed, swapping to Halligan just before the indictments. The ongoing legal soap opera now pauses while DOJ evaluates how long 'interim' actually lasts.

Trump’s DOJ stacked the deck with a rookie prosecutor more likely to botch coffee orders than indictments — and a federal judge just slammed the ‘technicality’ door so hard they scared the statute of limitations into early retirement.
Turns out appointing an undercover newbie prosecuting FBI and NY State AG is the Trump administration’s idea of justice — Jurisprudence? More like Juris-noped-out.
James Comey and Letitia James walk into a courtroom… Judge: ‘Your prosecutor was legally appointed?’ DOJ: ‘No, but we’re rolling with it.’ System: ‘Abort mission.’
