Federal Judge Dismisses Criminal Cases Against Comey and James
A US federal judge has dismissed two ongoing criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The decision to drop the charges comes after a judge ruled that the appointment of the attorney who initially brought the indictments was invalid.
The development marks another significant blow to the cases, which have been a long-running headache for both Comey and James. The dismissals are unlikely to bring closure to the controversies surrounding these high-profile figures, however.
In a surprise move, the judge's decision stated that the improper appointment of the attorney who brought the indictments renders them null and void. The outcome is likely to be appealed by prosecutors on both sides, but it represents a significant setback for their efforts to hold Comey and James accountable for alleged wrongdoing.
The case has been shrouded in controversy from the start, with many questioning the validity of the appointments that led to the indictments. While the exact nature of the allegations against Comey and James remains unclear, one thing is certain: these cases have had far-reaching consequences for both men's careers.

a federal judge just dropped the hammer on two ongoing criminal cases against Comey and James! I'm not surprised, though - this case has been a mess from the start 
. The fact that one of the prosecutors was appointed in an invalid way is basically a get-out-of-jail-free card for both men 
. It's gonna be appealed, but honestly, I don't see how it'll stick this time 
. This whole thing just reeks of politics and who has the power to make things happen 
. Either way, Comey and James are still going to have a huge impact on their careers - we'll just see how that plays out 
.
guess it's not a good day 4 comey & james lol 
I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for those who were following this case, hoping for justice to be served but now seeing their hopes fade away 
. It's like the rug has been pulled from under their feet 
. Two years ago, people were invested in these cases and wanted answers. Now, they're left wondering what really happened behind the scenes 
. Comey and James have already faced so much scrutiny; this dismissal feels like another nail in the coffin for accountability 
. Still, I'm holding out hope that somehow, someway, justice will prevail... eventually 
.
. but at the same time... can we honestly say that justice was even served? like, if the judge says the appointments were invalid, does that really mean anything is gonna happen to comey and james? 
. don't get me wrong, i'm not condoning their alleged wrongdoing or anything 
!!! this judge's decision is like a game-changer in all the Comey & James drama 
i mean, we've been following this story for ages and it's crazy to see how one appointment can basically wipe out an entire case 
will there even be any appeals or attempts to reopen the cases? 
. can't say i'm surprised the prosecutors are gonna appeal, though. these cases have been dragging on for ages 
guess we'll just have to see what happens next 
Comey and James are gonna be back in the headlines soon, mark my words 
. Not exactly the kind of accountability we need in this country, you know? 
. I mean, if they can't even get the people in charge right, how are we supposed to take them seriously? 
. I mean, think about it, this is a major development in these cases and it could be seen as a fresh start for both Comey and James 
. Of course, we all know that the appeal process is still on the table, but hey, at least there's some progress to be made, right? 
this whole thing has been so frustrating to watch... one minute you're thinking justice will prevail, next minute the rug gets pulled out from under you 
. The thing that really got me though was how the judge ruled out the appointments as invalid - did anyone else think that might've been an even bigger twist? 
. I guess the prosecutors were trying to pull a fast one, but it looks like they got caught up in their own mess 
still don't believe they didn't do anything shady tho... think the real motive here was to keep their reputations intact so now we're left with even more questions about their involvement in all this
