Federal judge dismissed indictments against Letitia James and James Comey

For the James case to be brought again, they need something significantly new, which is doubtful. For the Comey case to be brought again, they need time travel, because the statute of limitations has run out.

No Walt they are free to cure the James case by refiling the James case . The Comey case is more problematic because of the statute of limitation . It may have to be appealed to the SCOTUS. The Judge that threw out the case actually inserted words into the law she used to throw out the case. The bottom line the judge says ONLY the court can now decide who can be in Halligan's position. That violates separation of Power. The decision of who fills the office that Halligan holds belongs to the Executive branch.

False. For the James case to be brought again, the Justice Dept. only needs to fix the administrative problem cited, i.e. have a Senate-approved prosecutor.

... unless an appeals court vacates the dismissal, leaving the original charges having been filed on time.

Have these far left loons forgotten that Comey played a large part in Hillary losing the election?

We still are not willing to ignore the laws and go after him. Comey handed the presidency to trump, and still trump uses lawfare against him.

EXACTLY!
 
Walt said:
Comey's statute of limitations ended, so there is no refiling on that. The indictment lacks a specific allegation, and there is no replace that, so appeals are unlikely to flip the case...

Maybe trump can suspend laws and convict him that way.

There is a narrow path to potentially bring the Comey case and the Appeals court and maybe the SC will have to decide if they want to consider that narrow path.

If they do, the likelihood of success is tiny, according to most experts.

The path is hinged on a State law that can allow refiling of cases that were filled before a statute ran out if the case is thrown out on technical issues only. But because this error was govt incompetence and not some simple technical issue to be corrected it would be rewarding the gov't by giving them a do over for their incompetance.
 
i want both James and Comey to be revived, selfishly, as they BOTH will be dismissed again before trial, but on the more serious issues of grand jury abuse and other abuses that can get Halligan and Bondi sanctioned and potentially losing their law licenses and facing future criminal investigations that Trump will need to pardon them in advance for.

Comey may avoid prosecution because of the statute of limitation but James will go to trial if she does not plead.

James won't plead as they have no real case against her, just as they do not with Comey.

James is also very unlikely to go to trial because just as the VERY FIRST motion to dismiss SUCCEEDED due to the blatant Trump Admin stupidity, there are even more devastating motions following this one that will likely ALL result in dismissal.

All smart money should bet on that, which means you should bet the opposite.

So much for Trumpian justice.

The judge found that the appointment of interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan in Alexandria, Virginia, was invalid.


Trump handpicked Halligan for the role amid increasing pressure to bring criminal cases against his political enemies, including Comey and James.

....with prejudice moron. They can reinstate the charges with a senate approved attorney.

Sad how the Democrats are preventing Trumps appointments for purely political purposes.

Actually the Obama appointed judge has to insert a word in the law she used to come up with her dismissal. He ruling violates the separation of powers in the constitution and should be overruled if this cases makes it into the SCOTUS.

What was the 'word' inserted and the entire sentence it was inserted in to?

Need the sentence to understand context or see if you are reading things correctly..

Without that i will just conclude you are wrong based on that being the safe bet on your posting history.

trump is trying to do the near impossible, with the least qualified lawyers imaginable. Anything is possible, but only the alt right would hold their breath on this one.
