Check Your Email! District Court Tries to Pull an End Around on the DOJ, Gets Mugged By Reality

As repugnant as it is that rogue courts and judges are trying to derail the Trump administration with insane rulings, it's almost -- almost -- worth it for the hilarity of watching them get taken behind the woodshed with the reality switch.

Readers will recall that, a few months ago, a judge tried to dismiss criminal indictments against James Comey and Letitia James by claiming that the Trump administration's appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) was somehow 'defective.'

Unfortunately, Halligan stepped down, but that doesn't mean that those indictments are erased. They easily could (and will) be refiled with a new US Attorney for EDVA.

So, the left tried to take the next lawfare action. This week, EDVA judges decided that they were going to appoint the next US Attorney for that jurisdiction.

NEW: The U.S. District Court for EDVA has appointed James Hundley, a litigator with more than 35 years experience, as Interim U.S. Attorney, after Lindsey Halligan stepped down earlier this year following a court ruling deeming her appointment unlawful.

Sarah Lynch of CBS News is correct that Hundley is a veteran litigator. What she fails to mention is that he is a veteran defense attorney in leftist Northern Virginia. While Hundley did represent at least one January 6 defendant, he is more known for getting charges dismissed for violent criminals and even terrorists.

I actually kind of love that these people are getting fired the moment they are appointed. Democrats want to play partisan games of obstruction? Fine, you’re not going to appoint whoever the heck you want for an executive branch position. These folks have lost their mind. https://t.co/0mltOCnIzq

As we noted above, the obstructionism from lower courts and leftist judges is abhorrent, but man. We do love watching them get their comeuppance.

In this case, that happened within hours.

We're sure they will keep probing for mush, as Lenin once said, but with Todd Blanche and the DOJ, they are only going to find steel.
