BREAKING: Pam Bondi Makes MAJOR Announcement After Comey & Letitia James Cases Are Dropped

In a stunning turn of events, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a forceful response after the criminal cases against James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were dismissed in federal court earlier today. Speaking to reporters, Bondi vowed to take “all available legal action,” including an immediate appeal, to hold both officials accountable for what she called their “unlawful conduct.”

This announcement came shortly after Comey released a public statement declaring that the dismissal “matters most because a message must be sent: The President of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.”

Legal Expert Reacts: “They Failed — And They’ll Fail Again”

On The Legal Breakdown, attorney Glenn Kirschner offered an in-depth explanation of what the dismissal actually means — and why he believes these prosecutions are effectively dead.

Kirschner emphasized that the dismissals were based on a foundational legal flaw: prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed. According to Judge Curry’s ruling, Halligan’s appointment was so improper that it was “the equivalent of a private citizen walking in off the street and attempting to secure indictments.”

Because of this, both indictments were dismissed without prejudice, meaning the cases could theoretically be brought again, but only if a properly appointed federal prosecutor handles them.

Statute of Limitations: A Critical Roadblock

Kirschner then explained the crucial difference between the two cases:

Letitia James was accused of conduct that allegedly occurred within the last five years. This means her case could be re-filed because it is still within the statute of limitations.
James Comey, however, is a very different story. Because he was never lawfully indicted—and because more than five years have elapsed—his case is now time-barred under federal law. Even if prosecutors re-indicted him, the case would be immediately dismissed.

Kirschner was blunt:
“The likelihood that the Comey prosecution ever goes anywhere is slim to none — and slim is fading fast.”

Appeals Won’t Save the Cases

Kirschner also noted that he reviewed Judge Curry’s 29-page opinion extensively, calling it “rock-solid on the facts, the law, and the Constitution.” He said the chances of the Federal Court of Appeals overturning it are essentially zero, given that multiple judges across the country have made the same ruling about unlawful prosecutor appointments in other Trump-initiated cases.

The only glimmer of hope for Trump’s legal team would be if the Supreme Court agreed to take up the issue — something Kirschner said is both unpredictable and unlikely, since the legal question here is straightforward and not fundamentally about presidential powers.

Vindictive Prosecution Issues Still Loom

Even if the cases were somehow revived, Kirschner emphasized that prosecutors would then face additional legal challenges:

Claims of selective prosecution
Claims of vindictive prosecution
Allegations of grand jury abuse

Given Trump’s repeated public statements demanding prosecution of his perceived enemies — often followed by immediate indictments — the defense would have powerful arguments that the cases were politically motivated.

Kirschner concluded that these cases would never reach a jury, calling them legally unsustainable even under renewed indictments.

The Bigger Problem: Finding a Prosecutor

One of the major obstacles is simply finding a prosecutor willing to take such a politically explosive case.

Kirschner pointed out that Halligan was brought in only after her predecessor refused to move forward with the prosecutions. Now that the unlawful appointment has resulted in public embarrassment, the likelihood of any reputable prosecutor volunteering is extremely low.

“Who,” Kirschner asked, “is going to risk their law license for this?”

Even co-host Brian Tyler Cohen remarked that the mess surrounding Halligan’s appointment would scare away any competent attorney — leaving Trump to rely on loyalists with questionable qualifications.
