Olivia Troye - Comey and Letitia James Cases Tossed. Mark Kelly Investigated. [View all]

There’s a simple way to understand this moment: Look at who the system punishes, and who it protects. If you follow that pattern, everything happening right now makes sense.

This week, two big stories hit within hours of each other:

A federal judge didn’t just toss the cases; she voided every action Lindsey Halligan took as an illegally appointed U.S. attorney. That means the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James weren’t simply weak; they were legally nonexistent. And because the ruling focused on Lindsey Halligan’s illegitimate appointment rather than the underlying allegations, the administration has already signaled it may try again. But even that is murky: legal experts disagree on whether the rushed, now-voided Comey indictment triggers the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) six-month window to refile. The cases didn’t fall apart because the evidence exonerated anyone; they fell apart because the prosecutor herself wasn’t legally allowed to bring them. But don’t worry, Pam Bondi says Halligan is "an excellent U.S. attorney." This is a fascinating take on someone the court ruled wasn’t legally allowed to be a U.S. attorney at all. Sure. And I’m an excellent astrophysicist.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon opened an investigation into Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for allegedly encouraging "disobedience" inside the military.
