Quite some order from that Radical Leftst Trump Appointee - Judge Novak.
"Ms. Halligan’s response, in which she was joined by both the Attorney General and the
Deputy Attorney General, contains a level of vitriol more appropriate for a cable news talk show
and falls far beneath the level of advocacy expected from litigants in this Court, particularly the
Department of Justice. The Court will not engage in a similar tit-for-tat and will instead analyze
the few points that Ms. Halligan offers to justify her continued identification of her position as
United States Attorney before the Court. Ultimately, the Court concludes for the reasons that
follow that Ms. Halligan’s continued identification of herself as the United States Attorney for
this District ignores a binding court order and may not continue; otherwise, Ms. Halligan and
anyone who joins her on a pleading containing the improper moniker subjects themselves to
potential disciplinary action in this Court pursuant to the Court’s Local Rules."
"The Eastern District of Virginia has long enjoyed the service of experienced prosecutors
with unquestioned integrity from both political parties serving as the United States Attorney.
Despite coming from different political backgrounds and holding very different ideological
views, they all shared an unwavering commitment to the Rule of Law, putting the interests of the
citizens of the District before their own personal ambitions, as true public servants do.
Unfortunately, it appears that this ethos has come to an end. A district judge acting at the
direction of the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit has ruled on behalf of the district judges of this
District that Ms. Halligan was invalidly appointed as the United States Attorney. No matter all of
her machinations, Ms. Halligan has no legal basis to represent to this Court that she holds the
position. And any such representation going forward can only be described as a false statement
made in direct defiance of valid court orders. In short, this charade of Ms. Halligan
masquerading as the United States Attorney for this District in direct defiance of binding court
orders must come to an end.""
"The Court recognizes that Ms. Halligan lacks the prosecutorial experience that has long
been the norm for those nominated to the position of United States Attorney in this District.
Consequently, and in light of her inexperience, the Court grants Ms. Halligan the benefit of the
doubt and refrains from referring her for further investigation and disciplinary action regarding
her misrepresentations to this Court at this time. However, this Memorandum Order provides
notice that, should Ms. Halligan persist in ignoring Judge Currie’s Orders and this Memorandum
Order in any matter before the undersigned, the Court will initiate disciplinary proceedings
against Ms. Halligan and any other signatory to an offending pleading pursuant to Federal Rule
of Disciplinary Enforcement V(A).""
