How will Halligan follow-up this bizarre behavior
Oct. 8, 2025
when Court Trial Judge will conclusively rule
Nov. 24, 2025
on the legality of her "installation" with no
experience as a prosecutor / only an insurance lawyer
before stint as personal lawyer for then Candidate
Trump at his felony charge trials at Manhattan, NY
and "classified documents" trials in Florida . . . ? ? ?
_____________________________________
The young defense lawyer of POTUS 47
Rocked and nodded back and forth as a
junior federal prosecutor from NC made
the case against Comey in the Eastern District
of Virginia -- where Trump 2.0 installed her
as a prosecutor after her previous specialization
was in "Insurance Law"
Ms. Halligan did not speak in court today . . .
Oct. 8, 2025
____________________________________
her assignment from her boss was to obtain
3 indictments of former FBI Director James
Comey -- she got a signed indictment
from the Grand Jury foreperson but did not
show all the charges to the entire group
of Jurors as is required by law / legal precedent.
_________________________________
a second motion filed by Comey's defense lawyer
in court today argues that
the appointment of Lindsey Halligan by
Trump 2.0 was illegal.

Encouraging news that
FOOD KITCHENS are working again
during spring IDF raids / bombing
they were closed / non-operational
_______________________________
The U.S. at times (Rubio / Trump off-handedly)
claimed to be funding it for
$30 million, catch-as-catch-can
but some other "undisclosed"
country came across with $100
million and further efforts to keep
fundraising have failed as the
group gained widespread criticism.
Nov. 22, 2025 was their last morning and
beginning

on into 2026 there will be
more continuity with M - Friday
