Democrat Judge Dismisses Indictments Against Corrupt James Comey, Letitia James

The judiciary is irretrievably broken. The left imprisons those with whom they disagree while engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors with fear of punishment or accountability.

Clinton-appointed U.S. district Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, just DISMISSED the cases against former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Letitia James— alleging that the interim U.S. attorney who secured the indictments, was “unlawfully appointed” to the role.

Federal judge dismisses James Comey, Letitia James indictments

By Ashley Oliver Fox News, November 24, 2025:

A federal judge threw out the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James on Monday, finding they were illegitimate because they were brought by an unqualified U.S. attorney.

Judge Cameron Currie dismissed the false statements charge against Comey and bank fraud charge against James without prejudice, meaning the charges could be brought again.

The Department of Justice can appeal the decision.

The move to scrap two of the highest-profile criminal cases the DOJ has leveled against President Donald Trump’s political foes comes after the judge voiced skepticism at a recent hearing in Virginia about Lindsey Halligan’s ability to bring the charges as interim U.S. attorney.

Currie, a Clinton appointee based in South Carolina, was brought in from out of state to preside over proceedings about the question of Halligan’s authority because it presented a conflict for the Virginia judges. Comey’s and James’ challenges to Halligan’s appointment were consolidated because of their similarity.

Halligan acted alone in presenting charges to a grand jury days after the prior interim U.S. attorney, Erik Siebert, was ousted. Halligan, who had no prior prosecutorial experience when she took over one of the most high-profile federal court districts in the country, was the lone lawyer to present the cases to the grand jury and sign the indictments. No prosecutors from Virginia joined in on the case.

The DOJ has since put its full backing behind Halligan. Attorney General Pam Bondi attempted to ratify and then re-ratify the indictments after the fact, a move Currie suggested would not have been necessary if Halligan was a valid appointee.

DOJ attorney Henry Whitaker had argued during the hearing that the motions to dismiss Comey’s and James’ cases involved “at best a paperwork error.”
