The #fisk of the #PamBondi statement on the #LindseyHalligan departure concludes:

> The Department of Justice will continue to seek review of decisions like this

As Judge #Novak pointed out, you lazy guys never even sought a stay of the order disqualifying #Halligan. Also you gave up on #ErikSiebert only for stupid reasons.

> that hinder our ability to keep the American people safe.

American safety doesn’t seem to be a concern of those that murdered #ReneeGood and then circled wagons around her killer. And what about the #EpsteinFiles? Isn't this the same #DOJ who tells judges that they need not follow a #law which doesn't have explicit private claims of action and penalties attached?

This completes the fisk of this twitter post by #Bondi https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/2013785977475465648

The #fisk of the #PamBondi statement on the #LindseyHalligan departure continues:

> and fulfilled her responsibilities with courage and resolve.

#ErikSiebert, #JamesComey, and #LetitiaJames all had the courage to tell Trump "no" and the skills to fulfill their responsibilities. Halligan’s lack of experience was cited by Judge #Novak as a reason he didn’t impose sanctions for her inability to parse and follow the law.

> Her departure is a significant loss for the Department of Justice

Normative opinion; contradicted by judicial action. Judges kicked her out because that was necessary under the #law, not a loss of a bona fide asset of the #DOJ.

> and the communities she served.

You are thinking of Erik #Siebert or career prosecutors, I think.

> While we will feel her absence keenly, we are confident that she will continue to serve her country in other ways.

James #Comey wanted to serve his country and the #Constitution and #Trump tried to imprison him with the illegal appointment of #Halligan.

> The circumstances that led to this outcome are deeply misguided.

I agree, #Trump is a misguided circumstance. But the circumstances that led to Halligan’s ouster are: Article II of the US Constitution, 28 U.S.C. § 546, and established precedent on officer appointments.

> We are living in a time when a democratically elected President's ability to staff key law enforcement positions faces serious obstacles.

I support the #USConstitution, Pam #Bondi, why don’t you? The president was Constitutionally elected, not democratically as then a majority would have voted for him.

On Twitter, #PamBondi also has a statement on #LindseyHalligan and her departure. But it has little basis in truth or the #law so let's #fisk it.

> During her 120-day tenure as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of #Virginia

- Judge Currie expressly ruled that Lindsey Halligan was never lawfully appointed as U.S. Attorney at all.
- Her actions were therefore void ab initio — not merely defective, not expired, but never authorized.
- You cannot have a “120-day tenure” in an office you never legally held.

Also, it's a bit weird that NOW you say "interim" which Halligan was not using the filings.

> Lindsey Halligan served with the utmost distinction and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.

Directly contradicted by multiple federal judges.
- Judge #Currie: held that #Halligan ignored statutory limits, bypassed Congress, and acted without constitutional authority.
- Judge #Novak: described her filing as “containing a level of vitriol more appropriate for a cable news talk show” and emphasized that she ignored every lawful avenue to resolve the issue.

Serving “with distinction” does not include:
- Acting without legal authority
- Continuing to sign filings with a title a federal judge ruled invalid
- Filing briefs that do not answer the court’s question
- Treating binding judicial rulings as optional

> By prosecuting the most serious offenders including violent criminal illegal aliens, murderers, and child abusers,

Misleading at best; likely false as a justification.

This is credit-laundering: attributing the ordinary work of career prosecutors to an unlawfully appointed political figure with no prosecutorial experience.

Finally, after a long holiday weekend, the Federal District Judge who asked Lindsey #Halligan to explain why she and the #DOJ lawyers were still signing court documents which give her title as "U.S. Attorney", which Judge Currie had previous ruled was an illegal appointment at the request of the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit (the appeals court above the 9 District Courts in #Virginia and 4 nearby states). (The main issue was that under the #Constitution, officers of the United States are appointed by the President subject to the approval of Congress, in this case provisionally granted by statute once per term for interim appointments of 120 days as the new administration requests that approval — neither of which applies to the illegal appointment of Halligan.)

Instead of explaining why she was still using the title after the ruling, Halligan fairly directly insulted the Judge's understanding of the law. (See above.)

Today, Judge #Novak issued a decision and order explaining what he thinks of such a filing.

• "contains a level of vitriol more appropriate for a cable news talk show
and falls far beneath the level of advocacy expected from litigants in this Court" p. 2
• "even if Ms. Halligan was validly appointed [for 120 days] that appointment would expire today" p. 5
• Halligan ignores that Judge Currie speaks for all District Judges pp. 7-8
• explains law of how judicial reasoning (ratio decidendi) controls application of rulings pp. 8-9
• points out that she ignored all legal avenues to retain use of title pp. 10-11
• pointed out judges have a duty to protect integrity pp. 11-16
• Halligan is too inexperienced to know how to parse law, but watch out next time p. 18

Halligan’s response to the judge Tuesday — a remarkably defiant document that strains the boundaries of standard legal rhetoric and logic … characterized [District Judge David J.] Novak’s questions as “a thinly veiled threat” against her authority and claimed the previous unlawful appointment ruling only prevented her from working the dismissed cases against #Comey and James … did not explain why she and the DOJ have repeatedly identified her as a full U.S. attorney in court filings — dropping “acting” or “interim” from her title — even though she was never confirmed by the Senate or federal judges in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Alfred Hitchcock: Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was an English filmmaker. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense", Hitchcock became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo appearances in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955–65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director, despite five nominations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock
James Stewart: James Maitland Stewart was an American actor and military aviator. Known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona, Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors; he received numerous honors including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart
Kim Novak: Marilyn Pauline "Kim" Malloy is an American retired actress and painter. Her contributions to cinema have been honored with two Golden Globe Awards, an Honorary Golden Bear, a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Novak

The image depicts a movie poster of "Vertigo," featuring the iconic Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece. The poster is dominated by a striking color scheme of red and black, with the title of the film prominently displayed in white text at the bottom. The main visual element is a swirling pattern resembling an eye, which is centrally placed on the poster. This design is set against a stark black background, further emphasizing its presence.

In addition to the title and the swirl design, there are two names visible on the poster: James Stewart and Kim Novak. These actors portrayed the leading roles in the film. The overall layout of the poster suggests a sense of mystery and suspense that is characteristic of Hitchcock's work. The use of red and black creates a stark contrast, adding to the dramatic effect of the poster.
