A federal judge has dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, concluding that the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Donald Trump’s urging was illegally appointed by the Justice Department.
This indictment was insane. It had multiple problems that made it illegal. It was never actually passed by a grand jury, it was never presented in its final form to a grand jury and it was sought by someone without the legal authority to call a grand jury for an indictment.
