You know, when a reporter makes a post commenting on a story from the New York Times noting indications of selective prosecutions and prosecutorial misconduct, it's best not to get into a colloquy with that reporter about the veracity of this story if you are the "attorney" who made the presentment to the grand jury.
But we are talking about Lindsey Halligan here, the faux acting US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, so instead, she sent numerous "self destructing" Signal messages to Lawfare reporter, and Harvard trained lawyer, Anna Bower, which were dutifully screen shotted and reported on.
When Bauer contacted the DoJ while she was writing the story, Halligan wrote to her to say retroactively that this was all off the record.
Yeah, it don't work that way.
*Why yes, I am quoting Blazing Saddles. It's the line delivered bv Cleavon Little after successfully taking himself hostage, "Ooh, baby, you are so talented! ……… And they are so dumb!"
