"This is an indictment, though, that doesn't really have to be dismissed. It doesn't really exist. It was never properly returned. So I think this isI think what we heard todayshocking, never occurred before in American jurisprudence. I think it will be dispositive. But on the other hand, there's so many dispositive issues here, including her illegal appointment, Cobb said."
"Well, I do want to ask you about that. You've said that you think both Halligan and Attorney General Bondi could be disbarred over this case against Comey, and that was before we learned what happened today in court. It also raises questions for me that if you're going to use Lindsay Halligan in this manner, the fact that she has no experienceis anyone overseeing that work to make sure that problems don't arise? But what do you think now?"
"Well, I do think that both Halligan and Bondi should be disbarred, Cobb replied, adding: You know, Bondi has twice submitted affirmations to this court about the propriety of Lindsay Halligan's grand jury presentation. She knew this. There's no way she could not have known this. And that just means that she lied, or that she's equally incompetent, but more likely that she lied."
U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff questioned whether the entire grand jury ever saw the two-count indictment after grand jurors rejected one of three charges presented by Halligan. A judge warned of apparent government misconduct in charging James Comey. Ty Cobb argued the indictment was never properly returned and characterized it as effectively nonexistent, citing an illegal appointment and multiple dispositive issues. Concerns were raised about Halligan's lack of experience and oversight. Cobb urged disbarment for both Halligan and Attorney General Pam Bondi, alleging Bondi submitted affirmations about Halligan's grand jury presentation and either lied or was incompetent.
