"Lindsey Halligan had another bad week at her pretend job as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. First Halligan got no-billed for the third time when she tried to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James. The week before, a grand jury in Norfolk bounced an attempt to charge James with mortgage fraud. This time around, a grand jury in Alexandria did the honors."
"Then Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in DC reamed Halligan's office out for its inexcusably shoddy - not to say unconstitutional! - work, before locking her out of the evidence she was relying on to re-indict former FBI Director James Comey. The Comey investigation was a Frankenstein's monster of illegality which likely would have collapsed under its own weight even if Halligan had been lawfully appointed."
"In 2019 and 2020, the FBI executed four separate search warrants for his various email, hard drive, and iCloud accounts, essentially seizing Richman's entire digital life. Failing to find evidence that Comey had leaked classified information to Richman back in 2017, the FBI closed that investigation in 2021. The data was then tossed in a locker, where it sat until 2025, when Halligan pulled it out and started rummaging through it in search of proof that Comey lied to Congress in 2020."
Lindsey Halligan faced multiple procedural defeats, including a third no-bill when attempting to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James and a prior grand jury rejection in Norfolk. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly harshly rebuked Halligan's office and barred access to evidence used to charge former FBI Director James Comey. The Comey probe relied on materials seized from Daniel Richman pursuant to four FBI warrants in 2019–2020. The FBI closed that inquiry in 2021 and stored the data until Halligan accessed it in 2025 without obtaining a fresh warrant. Judges expressed astonishment at using long-stored evidence from a different case without new court authorization, raising questions about competence and possible statute-of-limitations pressure.
