Lindsey Halligan, President Donald Trump's handpicked interim US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, left her position at the Justice Department Tuesday, marking an end to her turbulent tenure bringing cases against the president's political enemies.
My favorite part of Judge Novak's ruling on Lindsey Halligan is that basically she's too dumb to disbar.

Boys Don't Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy (1986)
www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1: Nick Richards]
Riding on the range
I've got my hat on
I've got my boots dusty
I've got my saddle on my horse
He's called (T-T-T-T-T-Trigger)
Of course
[Chorus: Nick Richards]
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
[Verse 2: Heidi Lea & Nick Richards]
Riding on the chuck wagon
Following my man
His name is Ted
Can you believe that?
(Ted, oh, Ted! Fighting off danger)
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair
Makes me feel quite dirty
Though we all do sometimes
(Ted gets so dirty)
[Chorus: Nick Richards]
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
[Guitar Solo]

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1]
Oh, you get me ready
In your '56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade?
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandelion sun scorched
Would you like a glass of cold lemonade?
[Pre-Chorus]
I will do the laundry
If you pay all the bills
[Chorus]
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
[Verse 2]
Why don't you stay the evening?
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh, I know your back hurts
From working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee, my sweet?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me

... A special prosecutor is a prosecutor who is independent of an office that would normally exercise jurisdiction in a criminal investigation"to avoid potential conflicts of interest or to facilitate subject matter area expertise.
At the federal level, under 28 CFR 600.1, a special prosecutor is referred to as a "special counsel," and may be appointed by the attorney general to criminally investigate an individual or matter in cases where a Justice Department investigation would present a conflict of interest, or in other "extraordinary circumstances."
Under Supreme Court precedent in Morrison v. Olson, Congress may also appoint a special counsel through the passage of legislation. Notable special counsels in U.S. history include Ken Starr of the Clinton Whitewater investigation and Lawrence Walsh of the Iran-Contra Affair. ...

Appeals Court Finds Undue Delay, Orders Prompt Ruling in Trump Classified Documents Case (November 2025)
knightcolumbia.org
... The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit today issued an order compelling a lower court to rule within 60 days on the Knight First Amendment Institute's motion seeking the release of a Special Counsel report on President Trump's alleged unlawful retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after he left office in 2021. The Eleventh Circuit agreed that the district court has unduly delayed ruling on the Institute's motion, which the Institute filed more than eight months ago. ...
The Institute filed a motion in February asking Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over the Justice Department's now-abandoned prosecution of President Trump, to lift an injunction she imposed in January prohibiting the Justice Department from releasing the report. The Institute also asked Judge Cannon to post the report on the court's public docket, arguing that the First Amendment and common law give the public a right of access to the report because it was submitted to the court in connection with a criminal proceeding. The petition the Institute filed in September argued that the lower court's lengthy delay in ruling on the Institute's motion is "manifestly unreasonable." ...

'Failed to demonstrate good cause': Trump lawyer fully backs Cannon for 'correctly' keeping Jack Smith from speaking on 'so-called' Mar-a-Lago report
lawandcrime.com
... Responding to a motion that seeks to put an appeal on the fast track, an attorney for President Donald Trump told a panel of judges that Judge Aileen Cannon "correctly" denied efforts to bring to the light of day Jack Smith's "so-called" final report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents and obstruction probe.
The Friday filing from attorneys for Trump and his former co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, including a lawyer who failed in November to convince the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to revive a "frivolous" RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, asked the same appellate court " one which has multiple times chided Cannon " to delay two nonprofit groups' attempts to appeal the adverse ruling.
Asserting those efforts by the Knight First Amendment Institute and American Oversight lack "any basis" and "failed to demonstrate good cause," Trump lawyers said Cannon was correct to leave an injunction in place that has blocked the release of Volume II and played a key role in blocking Jack Smith from speaking publicly about his "so-called 'Final Report,' regarding his unlawful investigation and prosecution in the Southern District of Florida." ...
