The state #bar acknowledged the inquiry in a letter last month to the nonprofit Campaign for Accountability, which had called for disciplinary proceedings against #LindseyHalligan over her conduct in the prosecutions of former #FBI director #JamesComey & NYAG #LetitiaJames.

Halligan resigned in January under increasing pressure from federal judges in her district after a court ruled that she had been unlawfully appointed to her position, & dismissed the cases against Comey & James.

#Trump #law

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.
