Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan found herself going it alone before a grand jury that formally charged the former FBI director on Thursday night.
Lindsey Halligan, the new federal prosecutor hand-picked by Donald Trump to target his longtime foe James Comey, was all alone when she convinced a grand jury on Thursday to indict the former FBI director, according to two people with knowledge of the secret proceedings.
Halligan took over as U.S. attorney for the prestigious Eastern District of Virginia on Monday. Three days later, she found herself the lone representative of a 300-member office spearheading a case that her predecessor — and many of the assistant U.S. attorneys who report to her — considered too weak to bring charges.
Her singular role was extraordinary.
Rarely does a U.S. attorney in a large office lay out the potential charges to a grand jury, much less one three days on the job with no prosecutorial experience and no background working the case.
How’d she do it? “…appears to attribute a quote to Comey that he never said.” There it is.
She did it the only way anyone could possibly do it: she lied her ass off.
Did they straight up just stack a grand jury this time? They got like two or three grand jury cases thrown out in a row, and now suddenly this one, gets the indictment? Sketchy.
There is a reason she did it alone, and it’s because all of the real prosecutors knew it was a bullshit case. Why would a grand jury indict, it makes no fucking sense
Looks like no. It seems the method was straight up lying to them about what Comey said, and even then she could only get 14 of 23 votes. She also couldn’t get an indictment for false statements.
The grand jury just determines pc based on what they’re given which is chosen by the prosecutor. All the grand jury says is based on x we say there’s enough to suggest he may have lied.
What they were shown we do not know but I would suggest that if you give very little evidence and suggest you may have more which is legal in a grand jury you could certainly secure a return. Essentially just be vague as fuck and super selective in your jury.
Doesn’t she realize how this could backfire on her in the future? If she can do it, then so can others.
Who’s going to impose the consequences? Because they don’t just automaticaly follow.
She’s golden. She’s set for life as long as she can actually extract money from Trump. Getting others to pay instead of Trump probably a smart move too.
Lol she thinks she is set for life.
Until Trump decides that it’s beneficial to him to throw her under the bus, and he will do it in a heartbeat.
When Mother Nature throws Trump under the bus (and pity the bus’s passengers, running over that bloated carcass), all these people who believe they’re forever protected by Trump will be flapping in the wind.
I don’t believe in karma. But it’s a fact that some people have a very long memory.
Indeed.🍿
