BREAKING: A federal judge deals Trump a CRUSHING defeat by ruling that his U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York must stop working on the investigations into state Attorney General Letitia James.
Our democracy isn’t dead yet…
“Mr. Sarcone is not lawfully serving as Acting U.S. Attorney. Any of his past or future acts taken in that capacity are void or voidable as they would rest on authority Mr. Sarcone does not lawfully have,” wrote Judge Lorna Schofield.
Schofield stated that prosecutor John Sarcone is not validly serving as acting U.S. attorney, which in turn means that the grand jury subpoenas he signed are now invalid. The ruling throws a major wrench into Trump’s nakedly partisan targeting of James, who’s being investigated solely because she’s an outspoken political enemy of MAGA.
“When the Executive branch of government skirts restraints put in place by Congress and then uses that power to subject political adversaries to criminal investigations, it acts without lawful authority,” added Schofield.
Sarcone had been appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi but was never confirmed by the Senate in a blatant effort to circumvent the proper process and streamline the ongoing corruption of the Justice Department. When his 120-day term expired, district court judges failed to point anyone to fill the position.
“This decision is an important win for the rule of law and we will continue to defend our office’s successful litigation from this administration’s political attacks,” stated a spokesperson for James’ office.
