Alina Habba May Have Been Inappropriately Appointed As US State Attorney

A lower court already ruled she was inappropriately appointed because she was not Senate confirmed. Yesterday, she made her appeal before the 3rd Circuit Appeals Court. If she is ruled to have been inappropriately appointed, that means that Halligan was inappropriately appointed and Comey's prosecution gets tossed.

Politico reports that several prosecutors have been similarly appointed by Krasnov, without Senate confirmation.

This means that all of Habba's cases get thrown out, drug dealers, etc, get tossed and must be re-tried throwing the courts into chaos.

Then again, we always have the fascist Supreme Court who can rule that Krasnov can violate the law and appoint whoever he wants, without Senate approval.

Instead of keeping track how often Krasnov lies, someone should keep track how often he breaks the law, or how often the SC allows him?

3. I can make an educated guess at that one. Was your question rhetorical?

I checked, 1 Obama judge and 2 "W" judges, Bove wasn't on the panel.

5. They'll just install another and continue harrassment of Comey. I guess it delays things a bit.

Under the statute.... they get ONE bite at the apple for an "acting." If Habba is DQ'd, the court selests her replacement.

7. SCOTUS, at the end of the day, will likely back up Trump's appointments without Senate approval.
