US Attorney General Pam Bondi asked an appeals court to resurrect the scuttled indictments of two of President Donald Trump’s perceived enemies, former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Bondi, joined by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, said in a 56-page court filing Monday that a lower court erred in November when it disqualified the prosecutor who handled the indictments and tossed them out.

The prosecutor was Lindsey Halligan, one of Trump’s former personal attorneys, who he brought in to serve as interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after his first pick for the office declined to bring charges against Comey and James, citing a lack of evidence. Halligan quickly secured indictments against the two, accusing Comey of lying to Congress and James of committing mortgage fraud — charges they each denied.

US District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie threw out the indictments, ruling that Halligan’s appointment was unlawful because she was the second lawyer in a row to hold the office on an interim basis. Federal law allows presidents to appoint US attorneys for 120 days on an interim basis before they are approved by the US Senate.

In her filing, Bondi accused the judge of infringing on the president’s power to appoint US attorneys.

Uh... that's not how it works. The President can APPOINT but the position REQUIRES "Consent of the Senate", which has NOT given "consent" to the loons put forth for that position (and who SHOULDN'T HAVE confirmed Pirro for the D.C. District, but that is another issue).

10. Beautiful downtown Sheboygan, Wisconsin

I would date it to 1860s or later from the Lincoln Style “pork pie hat” and no cars on the street. I stole that picture from wiki. It looks to be a posed picture because @ that time photographer took some time
with the type of cameras they used back then. Either that or it was taken during my time @ Ohio University.

6. The judge should have a simple

And straight forward reply: Sit down and shut up. And for filing a frivolous motion, I’m holding you in civil contempt until you withdraw your motion and resign.
