“…
Cleary has served as an assistant U.S. attorney and once claimed she was “framed” for being at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, leading to a brief internal investigation and placement on administrative leave before she was cleared.

Cleary wrote in May that the experience of being falsely accused led her to apply to become U.S. attorney in Virginia with a plan to “end politically weaponized investigations.”

“In the last four years, I’ve been somewhat cautious about sharing my experience, but now, while Donald Trump is president, I feel emboldened to finally tell how I, too, was targeted politically,” Cleary wrote….”

“… Someone (still unknown to me) had contacted the Roanoke Timesand alleged that they had a photo of me on the Capitol Grounds on January 6, holding a fractured piece of the Speaker Nancy Pelosi sign. The photo was circulated.

… When the agents came and knocked on my door and saw me, and realized I was not the girl in the photo with the Pelosi sign, surely they would walk away? Instead, they spent nearly two hours investigating something that was not a crime – namely my presence in Washington, DC on January 6.

She was quickly investigated and cleared to go back to work on same day as she was interviewed. It definitely sucks that someone wrongly reported her for being a participant, but it also sounds like the process was handled quickly and professionally. Her complaint seems to be she thinks that was why she wasn’t nominated for the AUSA spot now.

She was questioned and then they cleared her.

They were conducting a proper investigation. Then, they cleared her.

Would she have preferred they not question her and leave a cloud hanging over her head?

Halligan is a former local insurance lawyer from Florida who joined Trump’s legal team in 2022 and is currently in charge of de-woking the Smithsonian. As far as I can tell, she never handled any federal criminal or civil cases in federal court when she joined Trump’s legal team.

Surely he is not pushing her as a U.S. Attorney or prosecutor at DOJ?

Trump says he will nominate his former attorney to lead key prosecutor's office

President Donald Trump says he intends to nominate one of his former defense attorneys, Lindsay Halligan, to lead a key federal prosecutor's office in Virginia.

Her current title is “Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and the Special Assistant to the President and Senior Associate Staff Secretary”.

Sounds like she was a fine Florida attorney specializing in insurance claims but not a lot of experience that suggests she should be a IS Attorney.

I think for some time we’ve been well beyond the “if Biden/Obama did this, he would be impeached/forced to resign/arrested” stage.

“… Even for a president who has shattered the traditional norms of maintaining distance from the Justice Department, Mr. Trump’s unabashedly public and explicit orders to Ms. Bondi were an extraordinary breach of prosecutorial protocols that reach back to the days following the Watergate scandal.

His demands came a day after he ousted the federal prosecutor who failed to charge two of the adversaries he most reviles, Ms. James and Mr. Comey, showing how far Mr. Trump has gone in exerting personal control over the Justice Department and breaching the longstanding norm about keeping politics at a distance from law enforcement…”

I read that last quote in my head like a pageant Q&A answer.

My view on this is that I expect the Trump DOJ to conduct no meaningful law enforcement. It’s to be Trump’s revenge department; so, I hope he appoints as many incompetent people as possible.

We are going to be seeing an epidemic of selective prosecution lawsuits. Thanks SCOTUS!

Yeah, "lawfare" is most definitely a Democratic problem.

The presidency as it currently exists needs to be completely destroyed. The candidate that runs on stripping the office of nearly all authority would be one who gets my vote.

There's only one way to strip the office of that authority, and it's a new constitution or at the very least a new supreme court.

It is going to take a use of nearly unlimited executive power to restore democracy.

Here's the thing, and it's where law comes in: there actually can be a dictatorship that ends itself. That's what a constitution is all about. Dem president comes in; expels many states on a temporary basis to allow them to reapply for admission; write and implement a new constitution, and the new constitution will contain all the limits necessary on executive power.

Or better yet, draft a constitution that is a liberal's crazy dream. And then also draft a bipartisan constitution that removes all the most potent hiccups. And give the red states a choice: they can ratify the bipartisan one, or the liberal version will be crammed down their throat.

If we elect a person who cares about democracy and loves America in that way -- I'd put money on Pete Buttigieg not abusing this power -- then we can get it done.

If you're not down for radical restructuring action, then you're going to be voting pointlessly for the rest of your life because no president can strip the office of its authority without doing something radical.
