**You Can't Fire Lindsey Halligan Two Months Ago, She QUITS**
It's not often that a government official is so incompetent, they manage to get fired from a non-existent job. But that's exactly what happened to Lindsey Halligan, the self-proclaimed "US Attorney" for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Halligan's downfall began when federal Judge David Novak demanded she explain why she was calling herself "US Attorney" in his courtroom, despite not actually being one. This was part of a larger pattern of misconduct that had been going on for some time. Halligan and her allies had been using the title to prosecute political enemies of Donald Trump, even though they didn't have the authority to do so.
Novak's order was a scathing rebuke of Halligan's behavior, pointing out that she was "masquerading as the United States Attorney for this District in direct defiance of binding court orders." He even crossed out "UNITED STATES ATTORNEY" on every filing she'd made with the title.
But rather than take responsibility for her actions and try to make amends, Halligan decided to QUIT. Yes, you read that right. She left her non-existent job as a "US Attorney" in a huff, leaving behind a trail of wreckage and broken trust.
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of Florida, was quick to jump to Halligan's defense, claiming that she would "find another opportunity where her brilliance will be appreciated." But it's clear that Bondi is just trying to save face for her own department, which has been embroiled in controversy over its handling of the Epstein Files.
The whole debacle is a perfect example of how corrupt and incompetent some members of the Trump Justice Department have become. Halligan's behavior was so egregious that even the most ardent supporters of the department can't defend her actions.
**The Details**
So what exactly happened to lead to Halligan's downfall? According to Novak's order, it all began when she started calling herself "US Attorney" despite not having been properly appointed. This was a clear attempt to use the power and prestige of the position to further her own partisan agenda.
But things took a turn for the worse when Halligan and Bondi were asked to explain their actions in court. Rather than taking responsibility, they launched into a tirade of vitriol and insults, accusing Novak of being unfair and biased.
Novak's response was scathing, pointing out that Halligan's behavior was not only unprofessional but also potentially illegal. He even suggested that she might be too stupid to know the difference between right and wrong.
**The Verdict**
In the end, it was clear that Novak had no choice but to take action against Halligan. Her behavior had been so egregious that even the most ardent supporters of the department couldn't defend her actions.
So what's next for Halligan? It's likely that she'll find a new job on the wingnut welfare circuit, where her incompetence and lack of integrity will be rewarded with a big paycheck and a sympathetic audience.
But one thing is clear: Lindsey Halligan's time in the spotlight is over. And it's about time.
