    She’s a millionaire several times over already, and calls the great non-woke state of Florida home, so it makes sense she’d be prosecuting criminals in Virginia.

    Or, in her case, illegally filing false charges to please a fascist dictator who is using the government apparatus to punish his enemies.

    If she were to jam her toe really hard into the corner of a table, I wouldn’t feel bad at all. Or, y’know. Whatever.

      Isn’t it interesting how all the women he hires tend to be the type you know he’s attracted to?

        Whaaaaat?? I . . . certainly don’t know what you mean!?

        He hires only the best! And I think we can all agree beautiful women are the best, huh? Right? You’d have to be some DEI-obsessed sleazebag Democrat to suggest these lovely ladies go through some kind of vetting process to ensure a good fit for both them and the government.

        Next you’ll be wanting to give them the right to their own bodies! Ha! Liberal!

    According to a person familiar with the episode, Halligan found her account on the Pacer was not set up to file the special master request electronically and had to deliver the brief in person.

    During the drive from Ft Lauderdale, where she was based, to the US district court in West Palm Beach, she got stuck in traffic on the highway and realized she would not make it to the courthouse before it closed for the weekend. Halligan did a U-turn and drove back to Ft Lauderdale, where the case got assigned to the Trump-appointed US district judge Aileen Cannon.

    Halligan attended the subsequent court hearing on the special master request as the third-chair lawyer, one of the only times she was at counsel’s table in a federal courtroom.

    Within months, Halligan was in Trump’s political orbit.

    When Trump hosted a watch party for the 2022 midterms at Mar-a-Lago, Halligan sat at Trump’s table with Boris Epshteyn, Trump’s longtime confidant and personal lawyer; Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy; and Sergio Gor, director of the White House presidential personnel office.

    It’s like - it’s so bad, but you have to keep reading.
