The case against Letitia James was tossed because the judge ruled that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was not lawfully appointed. So, Trumpdick brought in yet another prosecutor and attempted to re-indict her, but failed:
>>>A grand jury in Norfolk, Va., declined on Thursday to re-indict Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, according to people familiar with the matter, rejecting efforts to revive a criminal case that had been sought by President Trump.
The decision dealt another embarrassing setback to the president’s efforts to exert greater control over the Justice Department, highlighting how judges and jurors have acted as a check on Mr. Trump’s desire to use the criminal justice system to punish his political foes.<<<
Trumpdick is also attempting to go after James in NY. From the NYT article:
>>>Even as a federal grand jury in Virginia voted down a new indictment, lawyers representing Ms. James’s office appeared before a federal judge in Albany, N.Y., where the Justice Department is pursuing a separate civil rights investigation into her work as the state’s top lawyer. Lawyers for Ms. James’s office are seeking to block the investigation.
That appearance also appeared to have gone poorly for the government. The judge, Lorna G. Schofield, expressed skepticism about whether the interim U.S. attorney overseeing that case was lawfully appointed by the administration — an issue that is becoming increasingly difficult for the president in his quest to use the Justice Department to seek retribution. . . .
Federal judges have repeatedly ruled against Mr. Trump’s use of interim appointments to skirt the Senate confirmation process required for U.S. attorneys, as Ms. Chen pointed out to the judge in Albany on Thursday.
A three-judge appeals court panel in Philadelphia
ruled on Monday that the Trump administration’s efforts to extend the tenure of Alina Habba, the interim U.S. attorney in New Jersey and a former personal lawyer for Mr. Trump, were also unlawful and invalid.<<<(emphasis added)
Trumpdick has turned the DOJ into his own personal sh*t show. And all of this is being paid for by the taxpayers.
