"A federal magistrate judge said today that the criminal case against James Comey, the former FBI director, could be in trouble because of a series of apparent errors committed in front of the grand jury by Lindsey Halligan, the inexperienced prosecutor picked by President Trump to oversee the matter. The judge's statement is what The Times describes as a, quote, remarkable rebuke of Lindsey Halligan."
"Headline of what remains of The Washington Post tonight on the same on the same subject, quote, Federal judge blasts potential government misconduct in Comey case. And indeed, the judge's ruling really is blistering. It accuses the Justice Department of illegally, quote, rummaging through evidence, of, quote, inexplicably failing to obtain proper search warrants, of putting an FBI agent before the grand jury in a way that was, quote, highly irregular."
The apparent collapse of Trump's marquee revenge prosecutions began after a federal magistrate judge warned that the Comey criminal case could be in trouble due to a series of apparent errors by prosecutor Lindsey Halligan. The judge characterized the ruling as a remarkable rebuke and accused the Justice Department of rummaging through evidence, failing to obtain proper search warrants, and improperly presenting an FBI agent before the grand jury. The judge also said Halligan made fundamental and highly prejudicial misstatements of law to the grand jury and described a disturbing pattern of profound missteps raising genuine issues of misconduct.
