This is the genius who just tossed the indictments against Jim “Higher Loyalty” Comey and New York's favorite mortgage-fraud-maven AG Letitia James because, technically without prejudice, so the charges could theoretically come back, but good luck with that when the statute of limitations on Comey's case conveniently died five minutes after he got indicted.
Currie believes that the interim U.S. Attorney who brought the cases, Lindsay Halligan, was "unlawfully appointed." Translation: Orange Man Bad, so we're nuking the prosecutions from orbit.
And just to make sure you understand the kind of "impartial jurist" we’re dealing with here, let's rewind to Currie's pre-bench career. As a private defense attorney she went to bat for one Larry Donnell Williams, a charming fellow who in 1987 decided to rape and murder a three-year-old girl. Currie thought the guy deserved leniency. Let that one marinate for a second. But sure, tell me again how it's Republicans who are "soft on crime."
Here's the Washington Post report:
"U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor overseeing both cases, had been unlawfully appointed as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and, therefore, indictments she single-handedly secured against Comey and James must be thrown out."
Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed "all available legal action including an immediate appeal," while white House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called Currie exactly what she is: another "partisan judge" who took "unprecedented steps to try to intervene in accountability."
Of course Comey's lawyers are crowing that their guy can't be recharged because the five-year statute of limitations clock never actually stopped ticking. Currie's opinion basically high-fived that argument on the way out the door.
Remember, Trump-appointed interim U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert looked at the evidence against Comey and James, shrugged, and said "nope." Trump said you're fired" and put Halligan, a former White House aide and one of his personal lawyers, in the job. Days later, boom, indictments for Comey lying to Congress about leaks and James playing fast and loose with mortgage docs.
The DOJ argued the president has broad authority to fill those vacancies. Democrat judges, shockingly, disagreed.
So here we are: another Clinton judge playing goalie for the swamp, shielding a guy who wrote a book about his own integrity while leaking like a screen door on a submarine, and a New York AG who apparently thinks mortgage fraud is just aggressive home shopping.
If this is the game the left wants to play, weaponizing obscure appointment statutes to kill legitimate prosecutions, then fine, gloves off. Every Democrat sacred cow needs to be dragged into court yesterday. The judicial coup has been running unchecked for years. Time to oppose it with extreme prejudice.
Because if defending child rapists and springing Jim Comey is what passes for "justice" on the left, the rest of us have zero reason to keep playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules.
If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.
