We've got a Trump appointed interim U.S.
attorney nominated for the permanent position, 15 year career prosecutor who, by all accounts, is a solid award winning public servant declines.
The prosecution says, no, there's just no evidence here.
He gets fired and replaced with a White House loyalist, Lindsay Halligan, an insurance lawyer, someone who's represented Donald Trump in the past, working as an aide at the White House, whose job it is at the moment to scrub the Smithsonian from woke ideology.
That's the person he installs as the new U.S.
attorney.
And within four days, despite a memo from the line prosecutors arguing that there's no probable cause in this case, she says, I'll charge that case.
But it is not some line prosecutor in the office who goes in and does the work, as is often the case, almost always the case, to present the case to the grand jury, to sign off on the indictment.
She and she alone is the one who goes into the grand jury room and she and she alone is the one who signs the indictment.
During the eight years I served as a U.S.
attorney, do you know how many indictments I signed?
Zero.
That's because there are line prosecutors steeped in the details of those cases who are the ones who present the case and sign the indictment.
It is very telling to me that instead we had Lindsay Halligan doing all of this work.
So Cruz was asking Comey about testimony he gave in 2017
In response to a question from Senator Chuck Grassley.
And so when Grassley asked the question, he asked if Comey had ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation.
Now, it's a little unclear what was being discussed when he talked about Clinton investigation.
Was that the email server or was that the Clinton Foundation?
So that alone makes it tricky.
