You’d think we’d be running out of ways to say that the Department of Justice is a careening, catastrophic, out-of-control mess, but every day, the Trump DOJ gives us new reasons to say that it is a careening, catastrophic, out-of-control mess.
On Tuesday, the DOJ beclowned itself even more mightily than during Lindsey Halligan’s reign of incompetence as the wannabe US Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Halligan couldn’t make the first indictment against former FBI Director James Comey stick, and it got thrown out with her. But this DOJ is as resourceful as it is incompetent, so it found a way to indict Comey for something entirely different, in an entirely different jurisdiction, for the crime of … taking a picture of some seashells by the seashore in North Carolina and posting it on Instagram.
You’re forgiven if the news of this comically thin indictment overshadowed the other absolute travesty of a filing from the DOJ on Monday, the one where DOJ attorneys apparently just let President Trump write a Truth Social rant about his ballroom and filed it with the court.
