Acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan initiated a Signal chat two weekends ago with Lawfare reporter Anna Bower in which the newly-appointed federal prosecutor tiptoed to the verge of revealing grand jury information in the Letitia James case. After Bower started reporting out the Signal exchange, including by calling Main Justice, Halligan sent Bower a final message late yesterday, more than a week after starting the chat: "By the way " everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know." The entire episode is madness. Halligan " who has no prior experience as a prosecutor " comes off as even less sophisticated than expected. She also seems peevish, self-consciousness, and in utterly over her head, in every possible way.
