| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawc with this Great America Show Midday Update for Monday, November 24th. |
| 0:04.5 | Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend. A federal judge just moments ago dismissed the |
| 0:10.2 | criminal cases against former FBI director James Comey and big old Tish James, the Attorney General |
| 0:16.0 | of the great state of New York. The case was dismissed without prejudice, which means it was |
| 0:20.1 | only dismissed temporarily. Judge Cameron McGarron Curry, a Clinton appointee, ruled that U.S. Attorney Lindsey |
| 0:25.8 | Halligan was invalidly appointed. Now, the judge ruled that, number one, the appointment of |
| 0:31.6 | Lindsay Halligan as interim U.S. attorney violated 28 U.S. 546 and the appointment's clause of the U.S. Constitution. |
| 0:39.4 | Number two, all actions flowing for Ms. Halligan defective appointment, including securing |
| 0:45.0 | and signing Mr. Comey's indictment, were unlawful exercises of executive power and hereby set |
| 0:50.6 | aside. Number three, the Attorney General's attempt to ratify Ms. Halligan's actions were ineffective and hereby set aside. Number three, the Attorney General's attempt to ratify Ms. Halligan's |
| 0:54.4 | actions were ineffective and hereby set aside. Number four, Mr. Comey's motion to dismiss the indictment |
| 1:00.1 | is granted in accordance with this order. Number five, the indictment is dismissed without prejudice, |
| 1:05.4 | as we said. So it's just a temporary dismissal, which I'm sure Lindsay Halligan and the folks will come back and revisit. |
| 1:15.4 | And number six, the power to appoint the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, |
| 1:18.7 | pursuant to 28 U.S.C. during the currency vacancy lies within the district court until a U.S. |
| 1:25.0 | attorney is nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate under 28 U.S.C. A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI |
| 1:33.5 | director James Comey in September, indicted on two counts, false statements, and obstruction |
| 1:37.7 | of a official proceeding, congressional proceeding. James Comey filed that motion to dismiss its |
| 1:42.8 | federal case, claiming vindictive prosecution. Boy, |
| 1:46.2 | James has not seen vindictive prosecution like they did to President Trump. James Comey cited two other |
| 1:52.5 | cases as he's challenged Halligan's appointment as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of |
| 1:56.3 | Virginia, New York AG. Tish James also indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District last month. |
