00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, November 24th.
00:00:04.540 Happy Monday, folks. I hope you all had a great weekend.
00:00:07.780 A federal judge just moments ago dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey
00:00:12.780 and big old Tish James, the Attorney General of the great state of New York. 0.90
00:00:17.860 The case was dismissed without prejudice, which means it was only dismissed temporarily.
00:00:22.300 Judge Cameron McGarran-Curry, a Clinton appointee, ruled that U.S. Attorney Lindsay Halligan was invalidly appointed.
00:00:28.780 Now, the judge ruled that, number one, the appointment of Lindsay Halligan as interim U.S. Attorney violated 28 U.S.C. 546
00:00:35.940 and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
00:00:39.420 Number two, all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan's defective appointment,
00:00:44.320 including securing and signing Mr. Comey's indictment, were unlawful exercises of executive power and hereby set aside.
00:00:51.220 Number three, the Attorney General's attempt to ratify Ms. Halligan's actions were ineffective and hereby set aside.
00:00:56.780 Number four, Mr. Comey's motion to dismiss the indictment is granted in accordance with this order.
00:01:02.680 Number five, the indictment is dismissed without prejudice, as we said.

00:01:18.620 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. during the currency vacancy lies within the district court until a U.S. attorney is nominated by the president

00:02:06.760 and false statements to a financial institution also under 18 U.S.C.
00:02:12.600 James also filed that motion to dismiss the federal indictment, arguing that Lindsay Halligan's appointment
00:02:17.020 as U.S. interim attorney is in violation of the appointments clause.
