Comey's Son-in-Law Resigns as Federal Prosecutor

In a one-sentence letter to US Attorney Lindsey Halligan obtained by CNN, Edwards wrote: "To uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in the Department of Justice effective immediately."

Comments

Literally thousands of DOJ officials have resigned rather than spend all their time defending the Dictator in Chief and seeking revenge on his perceived enemies... many of whom apparently live in his diapers.

This one had even better reasons than most

Government is a family business, no room for the rest of us.

"Genius Trump Attorney Submitted Wrong Comey Indictment Docs to Judge

Trump-installed DOJ attorney Lindsey Halligan is having a tough time with the indictment from the very start.

Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan got a grand jury to indict former FBI Director James Comey on two counts. But Halligan showed her inexperience Thursday as the jurors rejected a third charge, and she submitted the wrong documents to the judge.

It was Halligan's fourth day on the job. She was formerly Trump's personal lawyer, and recently led the president's efforts to de-emphasize slavery at the Smithsonian museums.

Having never prosecuted a case before, Halligan scored the position after her predecessor failed to go after Trump's enemies with sufficient zeal for the president's liking, seemingly because of, well, sheer lack of evidence against them."

and

""This has never happened before. I've been handed two documents ... with a discrepancy," Vaala said. "I'm a little confused why I was handed two things ... that were inconsistent."

Halligan, per NBC, insisted she "did not see" the first document with the tossed indictment. Vaala observed, "It has your signature on it."
