Donald Trump’s handpicked and wildly unqualified U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is facing serious allegations of professional misconduct — and the evidence is overwhelming. The nonpartisan watchdog group Campaign for Accountability has filed a formal complaint with the Florida and Virginia Bar Associations, urging them to investigate and disbar Halligan for “abuse of power” and “conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.” The complaint outlines a chilling pattern: Halligan was appointed specifically to indict former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James — even after career prosecutors had already found no legal basis for charges. Both the Florida and Virginia Bar Associations must now launch immediate investigations and move toward disbarment. Add your name, and tell them to do it now, before she does more damage. Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb has said Halligan “should be disbarred” for her role in what he described as an unethical, politically motivated prosecution. A law professor at Georgia State College of Law posted that Halligan’s tactics “would get any state prosecutor hauled before a disciplinary board,” underscoring how far outside professional norms her conduct has strayed. Representative Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) argued that Halligan’s actions alone justify her termination as interim U.S. attorney. “In a normal Department of Justice not run by hacks and sycophants and malicious clowns,” he wrote, “Lindsey Halligan would resign and the indictment against James Comey would be dismissed.” When prosecutors use their power to punish the president’s political enemies, democracy itself is at risk. If this abuse goes unchecked, future administrations will feel free to target opponents with impunity. Halligan’s actions — bringing unsupported prosecutions, making false statements, and weaponizing the Department of Justice for political revenge — strike at the heart of professional ethics and the rule of law. Every day she remains in office without accountability undermines public trust in our justice system. Add your name, and Tell the Florida and Virginia Bar Associations: Disbar U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for violating her oath and weaponizing the law for political gain. Restore accountability and defend American democracy. Petition: “Disbar U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for violating her oath and weaponizing the law for political gain. Restore accountability and defend American democracy.” |
