This article is interesting for what it reveals about the leak dynamics (remember: the news is fake, but the leaks are real). “Sources familiar” claim Lindsey Halligan doesn’t have backing from either EDVA lawyers or Main Justice. That fits with how she got the job in the first place—Trump kept getting stonewalled, which finally drove him to send that blunt Truth at Pam Bondi. So while some insist everything is all sunshine and roses, there are unmistakably civil wars playing out inside DOJ. The upshot is that in trying to paint Halligan as isolated, CNN ends up making her look heroic: no support, no time to prepare, and yet she personally walked into a grand jury room full of DC suburb TDS sufferers and convinced them to indict Comey. Absolutely legendary.

A sign of what the broader DOJ seems to think of the Comey prosecution:
“DOJ headquarters declined to provide lawyers to assist Halligan, and FBI agents and lawyers working to prepare her were denied their request for a para-legal professional …”

DOJ gave Trump’s handpicked US attorney little support to indict Comey.
She did it anyway

What Lindsey Halligan pulled off is nothing short of miraculous. Because EDVA is such a nest of snakes and the statute on Comey’s lies was about to run out, President Trump had to step in, fire Siebert, and parachute Lindsey in at the last possible moment. What we didn’t know until today is just how completely she was left to fend for herself: she had to take over the entire case file, learn it from scratch, build the presentation, and then personally walk into a grand jury room full of DC-suburb TDS sufferers and convince them to indict Comey. And she did all of that in under 48 hours.
It’s incredible she pulled it off but it doesn’t solve the deeper rot at EDVA (they’re still prosecuting a Mueller case, unbelievably) or at Main Justice.
Great !!
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised The DOJ is still infested with swamp rats
How to purge them ?
Purge by hanging. Pretty simple.
If no one was willing to assist, fire all the assholes and start fresh. From the top down – Blondie on down…
