Summary
In a huge blow to Donald Trump's attempt to seek revenge on people he perceives as his enemies, a federal judge has dismissed the criminal prosecutions Trump's Department of Justice brought against former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Judge Currie ruled that Trump flunky Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed as interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia U.S. Attorney's Office, and thus the indictments she obtained for Comey and James are null and void.
Glenn discusses Judge Currie's new ruling and where these cases may go from here.

| 0:22.0 | on Justice Matters. Hey, I'm John Fuglesang. Do you ever watch these Christian nationalists |
| 0:31.1 | and right-wing fundamentalists on TV and think, Jesus Christ, these people are the opposite |
| 0:36.7 | of Jesus Christ. You know, Christianity was supposed to be about love and service, Jesus Christ, these people are the opposite of Jesus Christ. |
| 0:38.1 | You know, Christianity was supposed to be about love and service, |
| 0:41.2 | but millions of Americans have grown up to find their nice religions been hijacked |
| 0:45.2 | by this mean authoritarian, tax-free click. |
| 0:48.7 | I wrote a book about how these right-wingers aren't actually on the side of Jesus, |
| 0:52.2 | and historically, they never have been. Separation of church and hate, a sane person's guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalists, fascists, and flock-pleasing frauds. It's a very irreverent and biblically correct book for believers, atheists, agnostics, and anybody who's ever going to have to deal with a Christian extremist in your family, workplace, or government. On all the issues that divide us, using actual verses from that book they claim to follow, |

| 1:45.1 | A federal judge just ruled that Trump Flunky, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed |
| 1:52.2 | as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and hence the indictments she convinced |
