GREAT!!!!! Now, because of her grand jury behavior she needs to be hauled before the ABA for a HARD LOOK at her & Bondi for prosecutorial misconduct & possible disbarment. AG Bondi is Trumps pet & mindless partisan hack & Halligan can’t hide behind inexperience, when you can send people to prison.

Thankfully, Trump and his crew are as incompetent as they are evil and vengeful.
“A federal judge has ruled that Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, leading the judge to dismiss the indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.”

Judge dismisses Comey and James indictments, says Halligan unlawfully appointed
James Comey and Letitia James both challenged the legality of Halligan’s installation. It’s one of several issues in their cases.

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.
The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Dick Cheney’s funeral is today. I didn’t agree with the guy but even he, seeing the danger of a trump presidency (& Project 2025), chose to endorse VP Harris just to stop the danger.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
