You Can't Fire Lindsey Halligan Two Months Ago, She QUITS
https://www.wonkette.com/p/you-cant-fire-lindsey-halligan-twoEvan Hurst
She'll end up on the Wingnut Welfare Circuit soon enough, and she won't have earned that job either.
Big news on the "I've been standing in front of the mirror practicing saying YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT!" front. Does that mean you can try cases in federal court as a United States attorney, even if you are not one?
What if you had been calling yourself a US attorney, but a judge found you and your Baywatch whistle had been illegally appointed, which really threw a wrench in your plan to make a name for yourself as the US attorney with the utter lack of shame required to prosecute all of Donald Trump's political enemies for fake crimes that didn't even fake happen in your fake jurisdiction?
What if a judge just in the last week demanded you explain why your calling yourself a "US attorney" in his courtroom wasn't grounds for disciplinary action, and you'd better cut that fucking shit out, Lindsey Halligan?
It turns out the answer to all these questions is You can't fire me two months ago, Judge Not-My-Dad, I QUIT!
And then you drive off in your Barbie dream-lawyer-mobile and Attorney General Pam Bondi is like "OMG I have one of those too!" but then the judge makes you give it back because for God's sake, Lindsey Halligan.
