“Monday’s dismissal of the indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James — two critics of President Donald Trump whom he targeted in his campaign of political retribution — is a victory, or at least a mini-victory, for the rule of law. … Comey might personally be out of the woods, but the rule of law is not. For him, the statute of limitations has expired on the two-count indictment against him on dubious charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with his testimony before Congress. Bondi might try anyway; she has an argument that the government gets the benefit of a six-month statutory grace period to get another grand jury to indict him. But Currie’s ruling suggests that this provision doesn’t apply to an indictment brought by a fake U.S. attorney whose actual authority was no different from that of a random person off the street.” (11/25/25)
