The Comey Indictment Dismissal Explained

Preet Bharara & I will get together for a Substack Live at 5:30 pm EST

READ IN APP

So many of you have asked us to make sense of the dismissal of the prosecutions of Jim Comey and Letitia James in orders that came out midafternoon today that Preet Bharara and I decided to get together this evening at 5:30 pm EST for a little emergency law talk. The dismissal orders were issued by South Carolina Judge Cameron Currie, who was asked by the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit to consider the defendant’s challenge to the appointment procedure used to install Lindsey Halligan as the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. Judge Currie concluded that she had not been, and that the appropriate remedy was to dismiss the complaint without prejudice. Preet and I will discuss the implications of that decision and the likely next steps with you tonight.

For those of you who are new to Substack Live, I grabbed these directions for the different ways you can join off of the internet. They include some options I wasn’t aware of. Typically, I wait for the notification that comes to subscribers (this works whether you’re paid or unpaid) when a session starts, and click through on that link, but you have multiple options:

Via notification: Click the push or email notification that Substack automatically sends when a live stream starts.
From the app’s reading queue: The live video will appear in your reading queue, and you can join with a single tap.
From your reading queue: You can start the live video directly from your reading queue when the event is scheduled to begin.
Directly from a scheduled event link: If you received an invitation via text or email, simply tap the link to be directed to the live video.
From the publication’s page: Subscribers can also join the stream by going directly to the creator’s Substack publication page.

See you tonight—and the ACLU’s Lee Gelernt and I are about to go live to discuss immigration.

We’re in this together,

Joyce
