Good betting money is this lawyer is added to the list of those sanctioned and disbarred after doing Trumps bidding.
U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan may have left out important information in her indictment against New York AG Letitia James that might have derailed some charges.
“In the indictment, … Halligan accuses Ms. James of having misrepresented the purpose of the house when she purchased it in August 2020 for $137,000,” reports the Times. “The indictment says that while Ms. James indicated to her mortgage broker that she expected to use the house as a second home, she had instead used it as a “rental investment property, renting the property to a family.”
Only it does not look like she rented it at all.
The Times reports occupant Nakia Thompson — Letitia James’ grandniece — testified to a grand jury in Norfolk, VA. that she “had lived in the house for years (with her children)
and that she did not pay rent,”...
...prosecutors did not ask Nakia Thompson to testify again, and the grand jury that voted to indict Letitia James was not seated in Norfolk, where this information was revealed, but in Alexandria....
...she suspected prosecutors
“used the other grand jury for testimony, then moved things over to Alexandria to seek indictment.”...
...“Did Halligan present this exculpatory evidence?” … If not, or if she explained it away without proper basis, the government already has a huge problem in the James case.”
Federal rules on the presentation of evidence state that “It is the policy of the Department of Justice … that
when a prosecutor conducting a grand jury inquiry is personally aware of substantial evidence that directly negates the guilt of a subject of the investigation, the prosecutor must present or otherwise disclose such evidence to the grand jury before seeking an indictment against such a person.”
The rules further state that appellate courts “
may refer violations of the policy to the Office of Professional Responsibility for review.”...
