A Trump-appointed judge seems very prepared to refer the Trump top federal prosecutor, I should call her a pretender prosecutor, in the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, for disciplinary proceedings. In other words, you may be kissing your bar license, but bye soon, Lindsey Halligan. This Trump-appointed judge from 2019 by the name of David J. Novak, sui sponte, meaning on his own initiative, just issued a scathing order in a case that he is presiding over where there was an indictment against a criminal defendant where Lindsay Halligan represented just this past week. that she is a federal prosecutor and indeed the lead federal prosecutor, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The thing is, another federal judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, Judge Curry in the Comey case, previously ruled that Lindsay Halligan is not a judge. competent, qualified, authorized United States attorney, that she was not properly appointed. And therefore, because she wasn't appointed through the appointments clause under the Constitution, she cannot serve as a United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. She was disqualified. Remember in the Comey case? That was one of the grounds why the Comey case and the New York Attorney General Letitia James case was dismissed. But the thing is, Lindsey Halligan, despite a court order saying you're disqualified, you're fired, get the hell out of here, Lindsey Halligan.
You're not the top federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia. You're not the United States attorney. You're a squatter. Disqualified. Get out, get out of the Eastern District of Virginia federal office. She's like a squatter. She's refused to leave. And finally, a federal judge and yes, a Trump appointed judge, David J. Novak. Here's his photo from the Eastern District of Virginia who used to be a magistrate judge. He climbed through the ranks. He was appointed by Trump in 2019. In this order, he said, enough is enough. And here's the thing that this federal judge and all these federal judges realize is That by Lindsay Halligan pretending to be a United States attorney by playing Halloween dress up, if you will, it is tainting the cases brought against people who are potentially actual criminals.
I'm not talking about these weaponized BS frauds. fraudulent cases that Donald Trump wants to bring against his political opponents that are getting thrown out. And then when he tried to re-bring it against New York Attorney General Letitia James, the multiple grand juries refused to even indict him. I'm talking about those.
What disciplinary action is being considered against Trump's top lawyer?
But what about the run-of-the-mill criminal cases that federal prosecutorial offices handle every day when she's signing her name to these pleadings she's giving the criminal defendant to the extent they have actually committed the crime and their criminal defense lawyers have great arguments to try to get those cases dismissed there's an illegal united states attorney on my case and it's tainting the proceedings. Now, federal judge Novak was not messing around in this court order. He said, basically what you're doing Halligan is you are misrepresenting your status to the public and the court. which is a violation of law. It's a violation of the rules of professional responsibility. It's a violation of these rules of court.
And he said, you need to respond, Halligan. Why are you pretending to be a United States attorney? Why are you pretending to be the top federal prosecutor? I want you to respond right now. And he gave her a deadline and you'll see based on how he sculpted this order, he's getting ready, in my opinion, to throw out her legal license if her answers are not sufficient.
