Will Chamberlain

attorney appointed because the Democrat won't give you a blue slip or you can't get a judge confirmed because the Democrats are gumming up the workers of the Senate.

Republicans have got to open up their perspective a little bit.

Why do we let the blue slip process make it impossible for Donald Trump to appoint a federal judge in California?

The Democrats are stalling that and we're going to wake up in a couple of years if we don't have more U.S.

attorneys approved, if we don't have more judges approved,

We're going to wake up in a couple of years and realize that we've done a lot of great work at the Trump administration, but justice is not being meted out as it should be because we don't have the people on the ground.

The criminal charges brought against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James have been dismissed.

A federal judge found that Lindsay Halligan was unlawfully appointed to the role of interim U.S.

attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

And because Halligan alone presented the case to the grand jury and alone signed the indictments, the indictments are now null and void.

The Justice Department will likely appeal the ruling, but it is a major victory for both James and Comey.

Comey was indicted on charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.

James was charged with bank fraud and making false statements.

Both pleaded not guilty and both accused the current administration of using the Justice Department as a tool for the president's retribution.

We just spoke about this a couple of days ago.

I told you that I thought the case was a choose-your-own-adventure of procedural errors, and here we are, because this was a huge one.

And as we also discussed...

Halligan being appointed after the 120 days of the interim appointment had been exceeded was a huge problem.

And indeed, the court agreed that she wasn't lawfully appointed.

And the problem here is that Halligan did everything on her own.
