Trump lawyer's latest shenanigans drowned in mockery: 'Couldn't prosecute a ham sandwich'

President Donald Trump's controversial new Eastern District of Virginia federal prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, is coming under scrutiny yet again for recruiting prosecutors from other states to join her cases against the president's political critics.

"Once again, Lindsey Halligan has to turn to out-of-state prosecutors, this time for the Letitia James case," wrote Politico's Kyle Cheney, providing a screenshot of a new filing. "Roger Keller is a Missouri-based prosecutor. Two NC-based prosecutors are handling the Comey case for her as well. No one from EDVA in either case."

Halligan, who was installed as a federal prosecutor despite little experience in that field after Trump pushed out a seasoned veteran prosecutor who didn't find his retributive cases viable, is currently running cases against FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Legal experts have widely panned both cases as politically motivated and unsound, particularly as she has made basic errors in her filings before the court. But even more flocked to register their astonishment that Halligan continues to be unable to find prosecutors working in her own office willing to sign off on what she's doing.

"One former prosecutor suggested to me that Lindsay Halligan enlisted NC-based federal prosecutors to handle the Comey case because EDNC is within the same federal appellate circuit. But Missouri?" wrote MSNBC legal expert Lisa Rubin.

"She couldn't prosecute a ham sandwich," wrote attorney and legal commentator Tracey Gallagher.

"Last time I checked there is not a shortage of attorneys in Virginia so it seems to suggest DOJ may be struggling to find attorneys willing to risk their law license to get involved in these vindictive prosecutions," wrote Mediaite editor and University of Florida Law graduate Sarah Rumpf.
