Her resignation followed a ruling by a Trump-appointed judge that was about as blistering as anything I have ever seen from a federal judge. He basically used proper reasoning and legalese to call Halligan a liar and an idiot!
1
Ms. Halligan’s Response asserts that she is free to act in an unlawful capacity, because she disagrees that she does so unlawfully. But that’s not how our legal system works.
2
Ms. Halligan has no legal basis to represent to this Court that she holds the position. And any such representation can only be described as a false statement made in direct defiance of valid court orders.
3
The Court recognizes that Ms. Halligan lacks the prosecutorial experience that has long been the norm for those nominated to the position of United States Attorney in this District. Consequently, and in light of her inexperience, the Court grants Ms. Halligan the benefit of the doubt and refrains from referring her for further investigation and disciplinary action regarding her misrepresentations to this Court at this time. However, this Memorandum Order provides notice that, should Ms. Halligan persist in ignoring Judge Currie’s Orders and this Memorandum Order in any matter before the undersigned, the Court will initiate disciplinary proceedings against Ms. Halligan and any other signatory to an offending pleading pursuant to Federal Rule of Disciplinary Enforcement V(A).
Here is what all that means in laymen’s language:
Part 1. Disagreeing with a law doesn’t give you permission to break it. Every lawyer should know that
Part 2. By using the title in defiance of a court order, Halligan has been lying to the courts.
Part 3. I’m not going to hold Halligan liable for perjury or recommend that she be disbarred, because she’s obviously too ignorant to know how to conduct herself in court, but this ruling remedies her ignorance. If she does this again, she will be disciplined. This also applies to any other official who co-signs a document where she misrepresents herself. (In other words, if Bondi and/or Blanche also sign off on her perjurious claim, the courts will go full Giuliani on their asses.)
Blistering, but another ignorant fool gets to maintain their status based on the benefit of the doubt only the privileged few get in this world. It’s like spineless Thom Tillis stating that he doesn’t blame Trump for the idiocy about Greenland and he blames his advisors. They’re all cowards and so is anyone who supports Trump.
All well and good if one is screwing up their own life, but to waste taxpayer money on stupidity, she should be disbarred because she full well accepted the position for clout and status. I wouldn’t sign on to take a position as nuclear physicist knowing full well I don’t have the knowledge to do so.
The legal system treats the rich and powerful with kid gloves when they err, but good luck getting out of something like a traffic ticket for a rolling stop or going 40 in a 35 when everyone else is going 50. They’re going to get their cut, when people like this fool get a tsk tsk letter.
Trump keeps appointing people based on their “central casting” criteria. It’s just starting to catch up with.
“I will not hold Ms. Halligan criminally responsible yet, for while most humans possess brains in their heads, hers is entirely filled with fecal matter, and her allegiance is to a president with fecal matter in his noggin as well. This condition makes thinking impossible, so her ignorance and lies are understandable and forgivable for the time being, in the eyes of this court. Until next month anyway, when I will lock her ass up if she tries this shit again. Get a grip, you vile twat. Go back to doing Youtube reactions to Marvel superhero movies.”
These are the sorts of appointments we should expect from rapist pedohpile Trump.
Rapist pedophile Trump.
Pedohpile worked. And was a fun reminder that he wasn’t alone while he almost definitely raped children.
Anyone watch his presser yesterday or Davos speech today? The senile old kid fucker is so far gone – his stupid brainwashed cult won’t see it, but if he was livestock you’d put him down
Putting his stupid brainwashed cult down as well is the real way to make America great again.
After Trump is eliminated, this country is going to need a de-MAGAfication that will make Nuremberg look like an episode of Judge Judy.
There’s no path back to normal society for his cult. We need to fill the ICE warehouses and camps with these idiots and isolate the cancer from the part of the country that’s worth saving.
Not knocking the dream, but what we’ll get will be more both-sidesisms and even re-election for some of these pukes. Bari Weiss might lose her job, but CBS will still have a long road back.
It won’t happen. The dictatorship of the appallingly greedy wealthy elite backed up by the fascist Federalist Society Supreme Court will continue with President Vance.
I think that anyone watching/reading some of what Trump has put out over the past few months must reach the conclusion that there is something seriously wrong with his metal state. And I do not mean that as just a partisan shot, but as something that anyone must see, regardless of where they sit on the political spectrum. Why is there not more discussion of this?
Because media hacks like Jake Tapper only care when it’s a Democratic President.
