Lindsey Halligan's Procedural Errors Jeopardize Comey Indictment Case

Grand Jury Indictment Irregularities

• ⚠️ The Justice Department admitted that the full grand jury did not see the final indictment against former FBI director James Comey.
• 📌 US Attorney Lindsey Halligan is accused of revising the indictment and only showing it to the grand jury foreman and one other person before it was signed, a highly unusual procedure.

Potential Case Dismissal

• ⚖️ Comey's lawyers argue this major procedural error by Halligan should lead to the dismissal of the case.
• ❓ The judge is examining DC circuit precedent on whether the grand jury must see the full indictment, and both sides have been asked to brief the issue.

Broader Prosecutorial Missteps

• 📉 This indictment issue adds to previous concerns raised in court about severe prosecutorial missteps by Lindsey Halligan.
• 🗣️ Halligan may have made misstatements about the law to the grand jury, among other problems.

Undisclosed Declination Memo

• 📄 A judge questioned the prosecution about a declination memo from career prosecutors who found insufficient evidence to proceed against Comey.
• 🔒 The government attorney could not confirm the memo's existence or status, citing potential privilege, leaving the judge reportedly silenced by the information.
