Things are going badly for Lindsey Halligan in court. The myriad ways the James Comey case can be dismissed pretrial are mounting.
Apparently having seen the writing on the wall after a rough hearing Wednesday, Halligan attempted to make her case in the media against the presiding judge, Biden-appointee Michael Nachmanoff.
Lindsey Halligan fires back at James Comey judge who claimed shes a puppet, read a New York Post headline Wednesday evening, following the hearing that revealed the Trump-installed prosecutor may have improperly indicted the former FBI director. Personal attacks like Judge Nachmanoff referring to me as a puppet dont change the facts or the law, Halligan told The Post.
Reading her lament out of context, it might look like a noble prosecutor laudably undeterred by the ranting of a rogue judge hell-bent on gratuitously attacking her personally for the crime of doing her job.

Taking a cue from big Donny, I guess. Truth is there's no better way to lose a trial than to antagonize the presiding judge.

I expect a dismissal with prejudice for a variety of reasons and think the only thing holding that up is that it takes time to write a legal opinion. So I say if not today, then Monday.
