James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both targets of President Trump, be dismissed.

The U.S. District Judge concluded yesterday that the prosecutor who secured the charges against them,

interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed.

The Attorney General's authority to appoint an interim U.S. attorney

lasts for a total of 120 days. The judge concluded that Halligan has been unlawfully serving

since September 22nd. Comey was indicted September 25th.

James charged October 9th.

Halligan is a former Trump aide and personal lawyer with no prosecutorial experience.

She secured the indictments of Comey and James over objections from career prosecutors.

Comey had pleaded not guilty to lying to Congress and obstruction, while James pleaded not guilty to bank fraud.

The indictments were dismissed without prejudice, which means they could theoretically be refiled by a lawful prosecutor.

But Comey's attorney said in a statement that his reading of the ruling suggests the case cannot be refiled

because the five-year statute of limitations expired on September 30th.

Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed the Department of Justice would appeal the ruling.

The appointment's clause is more than a matter of etiquette or protocol.

It is among the significant structural safeguards of the constitutional scheme.

The clause not only serves as a bulwark against one branch, aggrandizing its power at the expense of another,

but also preserves another aspect of the Constitution's structural integrity by preventing the diffusion of the appointment power.

Translate that for me.

Oh, boy.

Well, it was good.

It was good, but put it in layman's terms of people.
