Trump’s OWN JUDGE May REVOKE LICENSE of Trump’s TOP LAWYER
From MeidasTouch
A Trump-appointed judge, David J. Novak, is set to refer Lindsay Halligan, a federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, for disciplinary proceedings after questioning her competency and legitimacy as a U.S. attorney. This follows a previous ruling that deemed Halligan improperly appointed and disqualified from her role, raising serious concerns about her authority and conduct in ongoing legal matters.
Key Takeaways
- When a judge calls a prosecutor a 'pretender,' it's legal drama worthy of a reality TV finale.
- Halligan's refusal to leave office makes her the legal equivalent of a bad houseguest—unwelcome and unqualified.
- A Trump-appointed judge disqualifying a Trump appointee? Plot twist: even in chaos, rules still apply.
- The Comey case fallout illustrates how legal missteps can unravel criminal prosecutions; consistency matters in the courtroom.
- A 'suisponte' move by Judge Novak signals zero tolerance for incompetence; judges aren't fans of dress-up attorneys.
