A federal judge has thrown out criminal cases against two high-profile figures: former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The decision, made on November 24th, stems from a technicality regarding the appointment of the attorney who brought the indictments.
According to sources, the dismissal of the charges centers around a dispute over the validity of the lawyer appointed by Governor Kathy Hochul's acting deputy chief of staff, Imelda Ngoyoco-Macasieb. The judge ruled that the appointment was not proper due to a lack of notification requirements being met.
This development marks another twist in the ongoing saga between Comey and James, who have been at odds over a memo written by James in 2017. In her investigation into potential wrongdoing, James had accused Comey of mishandling the memo, which had originally been authored by former National Security Adviser John Brennan.
With the dismissal of these cases, it remains to be seen whether the criminal investigations will continue or if this latest development serves as a major setback for prosecutors on both sides.

This is crazy! I mean, who would've thought that a simple technicality could throw out entire criminal cases? It's like something straight out of a movie 
, you know? Like that scene in The Lincoln Lawyer where Mickey Haller (played by Matthew McConaughey) outsmarts the DA? 
This case is like that, but on a way bigger scale. I'm both shocked and impressed by how quickly justice can turn around like this 
. Now, it'll be interesting to see what happens next - will the investigations continue or will this latest twist give the defendants a free pass? Either way, I'm hooked 
!
. Guess you could say the game of cat and mouse between Comey and Letitia James is still very much alive 
. Two people who are meant to be on opposite sides of justice, and now we're left wondering if they'll ever settle this once and for all 
. I guess you could say this latest development just delays the inevitable 
... my hope is that we can finally move forward and focus on the real issues at hand 
.
guess I'm just glad that some things are getting sorted out, but it's also kinda sad that people are still stuck in this drama 
anyway, let's just hope that justice will be served 
maybe the fact that these cases were thrown out means that someone else will come forward with some new info 
here's a little diagram to help illustrate what's going on: 
I'm literally shaking over here!! So James Comey and Letitia James were just cleared in all those charges against them & I am DYING!!! 
I mean what even is the deal with this drama?! They've been fighting for ages over that stupid memo 
And now it looks like the prosecutors are out of luck... I guess you could say justice was served 
. But seriously, can't we just get to the bottom of things already? 
. And poor Imelda Ngoyoco-Macasieb 
she got caught in all this too 
and high-key hoping we get more updates soon 
!
meanwhile we got two very public figures with no one to blame but themselves, or so it seems 
all im saying is let them sort it out on their own instead of making a big deal out of it 
... anyway, did you see that 85% of federal judges ruled in favor of Comey and James' dismissal? 
.
I mean, they're like little pieces of heaven in your mouth! Anyway, back to this Comey and James drama... it's like they're stuck in some never-ending loop, right? 
That show always keeps me on the edge of my seat! But, let's get back to cronuts... have you tried the strawberry one? Game. Changer. 
. anyway, this is just another twist in the saga between these two and I'm not sure if it'll even affect the outcome of their cases or not 
. what's next, gonna be a whole lot more drama 
That's kinda weird, because I thought just because you follow procedure, it doesn't necessarily mean everything is cool? Like, what about justice and all that? Does that get served even if there were some tiny technicality? And now I'm more curious than ever about this memo thing between Comey and Letitia James... what's really going on there? 
Governors and their deputies playing politics instead of doing the people's job. And what about the memo that started all this? Was it really just a harmless note or was there more to it? The whole thing reeks of cover-up, if you ask me 
can't believe what's going down right now!!! 
idk about you guys but this whole saga between Comey and Letitia James has me shook 
. I wish we could get some closure on what really went down back in 2017, tho 
still hoping justice will be served for everyone involved 
What's crazy is that this judge threw out the cases because of a technicality involving someone's appointment process...who knew that was gonna be the deciding factor? 
. the memo thing is so outdated, can't they just move on already?
