A Senate with a sense of humor would approve her, just to watch that happen.Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.

Consider this.Comey could ask for a quick trial, but “quick” would still depend on the court’s docket.
Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer is only interim USA in EDVA, which means she can only keep that job 120 days.
The Comey case won't go to trial in that time--the McIver case only JUST got thru her selective prosecution motion.
No one else wants anything to do with this prosecution.
So in 4 months, DOJ is going to have to find some way to keep Lindsey on OR find someone else to take her dogshit case (if a judge doesn't dismiss it first).
I do wonder what poor schmuck will take this turkey to trial. I’m pretty sure it won’t be Halligan. Reports are she gave the judge the indictments on two charges, and the true no bill on the third, which is the kind of mistake a lawyer who just passed the bar (and had no business being in court) might do.
She signed the indictment, but does she want to try the case? She’ll make Habba look like Clarence Darrow
One of the MSNBC lawyers said he wouldn't be surprised if Comey demands a speedy trial - we'll see. Though I'm sure you're right, she won't try this herself though I'm sure Trump will imagine that would be like one of those really stupid court scenes in which things that never happen happen and his babe of a lawyer would triumph or trump or fulfill some other of his Hollywoody fantasies about babes of lawyers work themselves out on his behalf.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping she soon joins the ranks of the disbarred Trump lawyers.
